Membrane fusion plays a lead role in the transport of vesicles, neurotransmission,
mitochondrial dynamics, and viral infection. There are fusion proteins that catalyze and …

Membrane fusion, one of the most essential processes in the life of eukaryotes, occurs when
two separate lipid bilayers merge into a continuous bilayer and internal contents of two …

Membrane fusion is an essential process for the survival of eukaryotes and the entry of
enveloped viruses into host cells. A proper understanding of the mechanism of membrane …

Membrane fusion is an important event in the life of eukaryotes; occurs in several processes
such as endocytosis, exocytosis, cellular trafficking, compartmentalization, import of nutrients …

Membrane fusion constitutes a pivotal process in eukaryotic cell physiology. Both
specialized proteins and membrane lipids play key roles in fusion. Here, our current …

For membrane fusion to occur, opposed lipid bilayers initially establish a fusion pore, often
followed by complete mixing of the fusing membranes. Contemporary views suggest that …

Regulatory features of protein-induced membrane fusion are largely unclear, particularly at
the level of the fusion peptide. Fusion peptides being part of larger protein complexes, such …

Conclusions The results reviewed suggest that membrane fusion in diverse biological fusion
reactions involves formation of some specific intermediates: stalks and pores. Energy of …

To study the mechanisms involved in membrane fusion, we visualized the fusion process of
giant liposomes in real time by optical dark-field microscopy. To induce membrane fusion …

The transmembrane domains of fusion proteins are known to be important for their fusogenic
activity. In an effort to systematically investigate the structure/function relationships of …
