Advanced Drug Delivery Reviews, 1999
Although catalyzed by different proteins, the energy barriers for lipid bilayer fusion in exocytosis, viral fusion, and trafficking seem to be the same as those for the fusion of protein-free phospholipid membranes. To minimize this energy, fusion will proceed through a minimal number of lipid molecules, probably localized in bent non-bilayer ...

Science, 1992
Common themes are emerging from the study of viral, cell-cell, intracellular, and liposome fusion. Viral and cellular membrane fusion events are mediated by fusion proteins or fusion machines. Viral fusion proteins share important characteristics, notably a fusion peptide within a transmembrane-anchored polypeptide chain.

Experientia, 1990
The factors involved in the regulation of biological membrane fusion and models proposed for the molecular mechanism of biomembrane fusion are reviewed. The results obtained in model systems are critically discussed in the light of the known properties of biomembranes and characteristics of biomembrane fusion.

Trends in Biochemical Sciences, 1991
Protein trafficking and membrane assembly are accomplished in eukaryotes by the specific targeting and fusion of vesicles. In this review we describe some of the molecules implicated as components of the fusion apparatus, and evidence that suggests the same factors are recruited for a variety of intracellular fusion events.

Membrane Fusion and Exocytosis
Annual Review of Biochemistry, 1999▪ Abstract  Membrane fusion involves the merger of two phospholipid bilayers in an aqueous environment. In artificial lipid bilayers, fusion proceeds by means of defined transition states, including hourglass-shaped intermediates in which the proximal leaflets of the fusing membranes are merged whereas the distal leaflets are separate (fusion stalk ...

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

The Fusion of Biological Membranes
Nature, 1970A working hypothesis for the fusion of membranes is discussed. It is suggested that the process may involve phase changes in the lipids of membranes with the formation of micellar units of lipid or lipoprotein.

Molecular Mechanisms of Membrane Fusion and Applications of Membrane Fusion Techniques
1988The 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
2011Publisher 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.
