Intracellular membrane fusion

Current Opinion in Cell Biology, 1989
One of the most intriguing properties of cellular membranes is their ability to fuse with one another. Within a living cell numerous membrane fusion and fission events occur, mediating the flow of cellular constituents between different cell organelles. How do two adhering membranes achieve this complex merging operation within the restriction posed by

Molecular Mechanisms of Membrane Fusion and Applications of Membrane Fusion Techniques

1988
The functioning of all eukaryotic cells is critically dependent on a variety of membrane fusion phenomena. For example, membrane fusion plays a key role not only in such cell-cell fusion events as fertilization and myogenesis, but also in intracellular transport processes, involving specific fusion events between membrane vesicles derived from various ...

C2 Domains and Membrane Fusion

2011
Publisher Summary This chapter describes C2 domains and membrane fusion. Membrane fusion or the controlled merger of two initially separated membranes is of fundamental importance in biology. This is particularly true for eukaryotic cells that contain a plethora of membrane-bound compartments.

Membrane Fusion in Eukaryotic Cells

Annual Review of Cell and Developmental Biology, 2002
▪ Abstract  Membrane fusion is a fundamental biochemical reaction and the final step in all vesicular trafficking events. It is crucial for the transfer of proteins and lipids between different compartments and for exo- and endocytic traffic of signaling molecules and receptors.

Principles of Exocytosis and Membrane Fusion

Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 2004
Abstract: Exocytosis is a ubiquitous process occurring in every eukaryotic cell including processes as diverse as membrane expansion during growth and the highly regulated release of neurotransmitter from neurons. Work during the past decade has established that exocytotic membrane fusion is mediated by members of conserved protein families including ...

Osmotic phenomena in membrane fusion

Biochemical Society Transactions, 1989
The mechanisms of membrane fusion and fission are important because many of the dynamic features of the behaviour of biological membranes, including exocytosis, depend on such reactions (Ohki et al., 1988), and benefits to medical science may therefore result from an improved understanding of these mechanisms at the molecular level.
