title: Yeast mating: getting close to membrane merger.
abstract: The machinery that mediates membrane fusion during yeast mating has remained elusive. But now a post-genomics approach has provided a powerful wedge into this difficult problem: a pheromone-induced multimembrane spanning protein has been identified as a key part of the mating machine.
