Exocyst subunit with dual roles in exocytosis and spliceosome assembly; subunit of the the exocyst complex which mediates polarized targeting and tethering of post-Golgi secretory vesicles to active sites of exocytosis at the plasma membrane (PM) prior to SNARE-mediated fusion; required for exocyst assembly and targeting the complex to specific sites on the bud tip PM; associates the U1 snRNP; role in pre-mRNA splicing and prespliceosome formation; possible Cdc28 substrate
