Arabidopsis HAP2/GCS1 is a gamete fusion protein homologous to somatic and viral fusogens

C. Valansi, D. Moi, E. Leikina, E. Matveev, M. Grana, L. V. Chernomordik, H. Romero, P. S. Aguilar, B. Podbilewicz

This paper shows that Arabidopsis HAP2/GCS1 promotes cell-cell fusion and virus-cell fusion, sharing a mechanism with somatic fusogens and viruses, and proposes a new superfamily called FUSEXINS.
