This project focuses on understanding the process of cell membrane fusion, which is vital for various biological functions. By studying fusogenic proteins in the nematode C. elegans, the research aims to uncover the mechanisms of cell fusion relevant to fertilization and muscle development.
Membrane fusion is a universal process essential inside cells (endoplasmic) and between cells in fertilization and organ formation (exoplasmic).
With the exception of SNARE-mediated endoplasmic fusion the proteins that mediate cellular fusion (fusogens) are unknown.
Despite many years of research, little is known about the mechanism of cell-cell fusion.
Our studies of developmental cell fusion in the nematode C. elegans have led to the discovery of the first family of eukaryotic fusogens (FF). T…
