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…·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.
