WHI-2 Regulates Intercellular Communication via a MAP Kinase Signaling Complex [PDF]

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020
The formation of the fungal mycelial network is facilitated by somatic cell fusion of germinating asexual spores (or germlings). Neurospora crassa germlings in close proximity display chemotropic growth that is dependent upon an intracellular network of ...

Monocyte-Macrophage Lineage Cell Fusion. [PDF]

Int J Mol Sci, 2022
Cell fusion (fusogenesis) occurs in natural and pathological conditions in prokaryotes and eukaryotes. Cells of monocyte–macrophage lineage are highly fusogenic.

Requirement of myomaker-mediated stem cell fusion for skeletal muscle hypertrophy

eLife, 2017
Fusion of skeletal muscle stem/progenitor cells is required for proper development and regeneration, however the significance of this process during adult muscle hypertrophy has not been explored.

Generating Heterokaryotic Cells via Bacterial Cell-Cell Fusion [PDF]

Microbiology Spectrum, 2022
Fusion of cells is an important and common biological process that leads to the mixing of cellular contents and the formation of multinuclear cells. Cell fusion occurs when distinct membranes are brought into proximity of one another and merge to become ...

A formin-nucleated actin aster concentrates cell wall hydrolases for cell fusion in fission yeast. [PDF]

Journal of Cell Biology, 2015
Cell-cell fusion is essential for fertilization. For fusion of walled cells, the cell wall must be degraded at a precise location but maintained in surrounding regions to protect against lysis.

Functional coupling between TRPV4 channel and TMEM16F modulates human trophoblast fusion

eLife, 2022
TMEM16F, a Ca2+-activated phospholipid scramblase (CaPLSase), is critical for placental trophoblast syncytialization, HIV infection, and SARS-CoV2-mediated syncytialization, however, how TMEM16F is activated during cell fusion is unclear.

SARS-CoV-2 and SARS-CoV Spike-Mediated Cell-Cell Fusion Differ in Their Requirements for Receptor Expression and Proteolytic Activation

Journal of Virology, 2021
Cell-cell fusion allows viruses to infect neighboring cells without the need to produce free virus and contributes to tissue damage by creating virus-infected syncytia.

The Insertion of an Evolutionary Lost Four-Amino-Acid Cytoplasmic Tail Peptide into a Syncytin-1 Vaccine Increases T- and B-Cell Responses in Mice

Viruses, 2023
Human endogenous retrovirus type W (HERV-W) is expressed in various cancers. We previously developed an adenovirus-vectored cancer vaccine targeting HERV-W by encoding an assembled HERV-W group-specific antigen sequence and the HERV-W envelope sequence ...

Furin cleavage of SARS-CoV-2 Spike promotes but is not essential for infection and cell-cell fusion

bioRxiv, 2020
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infects cells by binding to the host cell receptor Ace2 and undergoing virus-host membrane fusion.

Differentiation Capacity of Bone Marrow-Derived Rat Mesenchymal Stem Cells from DsRed and Cre Transgenic Cre/loxP Models

Cells, 2022
Cre/loxP recombination is a well-established technique increasingly used for modifying DNA both in vitro and in vivo. Nucleotide alterations can be edited in the genomes of mammalian cells, and genetic switches can be designed to target the expression or
