Evolutionarily related small viral fusogens hijack distinct but modular actin nucleation pathways to drive cell-cell fusion

K. M. C. Chan, A. L. Arthur, J. Morstein, M. Jin, A. Bhat, D. Schlesinger, S. Son, D. A. Stevens, D. G. Drubin, D. A. Fletcher

This study shows that two FAST proteins use distinct actin nucleation pathways to drive cell-cell fusion, but their cytoplasmic tails are modular and functionally interchangeable.

A viral fusogen hijacks the actin cytoskeleton to drive cell-cell fusion

K. M. C. Chan, S. Son, E. M. Schmid, D. A. Fletcher

This study shows a viral fusogen uses the actin cytoskeleton to drive cell-cell fusion without requiring conformational changes of its short ectodomain.
