Our current working model of fusion is that even single trans-SNARE pairs bring membranes into close apposition.
Tethering of adjacent mitochondria is required for bringing membranes into close apposition for consequent membrane fusion events, where the GTPase activity of Mfn may function downstream of mitochondrial tethering to mediate full fusion (Koshiba et al, 2004).
Lats1/2 and MST1/2 are brought into close spatial proximity by the scaffold protein SAV1 (Salvador in Drosophila).
were dispensed onto it and the quartz mould was brought into close proximity with the substrate, thus displacing the resist.
Thus, these domains must be brought into close proximity when insulin or IGF1 binds.
When corrected for ontogenetic scaling, however, volumetric and linear equations are brought into close agreement.
In the individual tiles, both of the SEs are well aligned and brought into close proximity of each other.
The tip is controlled by a magnetic switch which is activated by a permanent magnet being brought into close proximity to the capsule (closer than 15 cm).
Consequently, the virus and cell membranes are brought into close proximity to initiate fusion and ultimately entry of the viral core into the target cell.
Lid closure and opening are accomplished by the orbicularis oculi and levator palpebri muscles; the orbicularis oculi operates on both lids, bringing their margins into close apposition in the act of lid closure.
