Abstract
Baquero et al. report the structure of the HAP2 gamete fusion protein of the Chlamydomonas reinhardtii alga, describing key elements required to bridge two opposite-type gametes and drive their fusion. Mutagenesis of these elements confirmed their membrane-interaction function. Additional specific HAP2 protein-protein interaction sites are described as potential fusion controls.
