Evolutionary diversification of the HAP2 membrane insertion motifs to drive gamete fusion across eukaryotes
HAPLESS2 (HAP2) is a broadly conserved, gamete-expressed transmembrane protein that was shown recently to be structurally homologous to viral class II fusion proteins, which initiate fusion with host cells via insertion of fusion loops into the host membrane. However, the functional conformation of...
