About chimeric fusion proteins proteins involved in membrane fusion membrane fusionprotein Merge from Chimera EST discuss Talk Fusionprotein Merger proposal date May 2009 Fusion proteins or chimeric ... fusionprotein is a protein created through genetic engineering of a fusion gene. This typically involves removing the stop codon from a cDNA sequence coding for the first protein, then appending the cDNA sequence of the second protein reading frame in frame through ligase ligation or overlap extension PCR . That DNA sequence will then be protein expression expressed by a cell biology cell as a single protein. The protein can be engineered to include the full sequence of both original proteins ... translated to produce a functional fusionprotein. Many important cancer promoting oncogene s are fusion genes produced in this way.

Translation of this fusion gene results in a single polypeptide with functional properties derived from each of the original proteins. Recombinant fusion proteins are created artificially ... from two different genes. Naturally occurring fusion proteins are commonly found in cancer cells, where they may function as oncoprotein s. The bcr abl fusionprotein is a well known example of an oncogenic fusionprotein, and is considered to be the primary oncogenic driver of chronic myelogenous leukemia .

Vesicle fusion is the merging of a vesicle with other vesicle biology vesicles or a part of a cell membrane . In the latter case, it is the end stage of secretion from secretory vesicles, where their contents are expelled from the cell through exocytosis at the porosome . Vesicles can also fuse with other target cell compartments, such as a lysosome . Vesicle fusion may depends on SNARE protein SNARE proteins in the presence of increased intracellular calcium Ca sup 2 sup concentration. Triggers Stimuli that trigger vesicle fusion act by increasing intracellular Ca sup 2 sup . Synaptic vesicle s commit vesicle fusion by a nerve impulse reaching the synapse, activating voltage dependent calcium channel s that cause influx of Ca sup 2 sup into the cell. In the endocrine system , many hormones are released by their releasing hormone s binding to G protein coupled receptors coupled to the Gq alpha subunit G sub q sub alpha subunit , activating the IP3 DAG pathway to increase Ca sup 2 sup .
