Despite diverse origins, cellular fusion mechanisms converge at a pathway of phospholipid bilayer fusion. In this mini-review, we discuss how proteins can mediate each of the three major stages in the fusion pathway: contact, hemifusion, and the opening of an expanding fusion pore.

Abbreviations used in this paper: FP, fusion peptide; HD, hemifusion diaphragm; LPC, lyso PC; PC, phosphatidylcholine; OA, oleic acid; TMD, transmembrane domain.
