IZUMO1 is a sperm fusogen

N. G. Brukman, K. P. Nakajima, C. Valansi, K. Flyak, X. Li, T. Higashiyama, B. Podbilewicz

This study identifies IZUMO1 as a unilateral gamete fusogen, showing it can induce cell fusion independently of JUNO binding.

Discovery of archaeal Fusexins homologous to eukaryotic HAP2/GCS1 gamete fusion proteins

D. Moi, S. Nishio, X. Li, C. Valansi, M. Langleib, N. G. Brukman, K. Flyak, C. Dessimoz, D. de Sanctis, K. Tunyasuvunakool, J. Jumper, M. Grana, H. Romero, P. S. Aguilar, L. Jovine, B. Podbilewicz

The paper identifies archaeal proteins homologous to eukaryotic gamete fusion proteins and shows they can mediate cell fusion.

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.
