== Function ==
[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/HAP2_CHLRE HAP2_CHLRE] During fertilization, required on male (minus) gametes for their fusion with female (plus) gametes (PubMed:18367645, PubMed:20335357, PubMed:25655701, PubMed:28235200). Required for membrane fusion, but not for the initial adhesion between gametes (PubMed:18367645, PubMed:25655701, PubMed:28235200). Inserts (via its extracellular domain) into lipid membranes (in vitro) (PubMed:28235200). Probably initiates the fusion of gamete cell membranes by inserting its extracellular domain into the cell membrane of a female gamete (PubMed:28235200).<ref>PMID:18367645</ref> <ref>PMID:20335357</ref> <ref>PMID:25655701</ref> <ref>PMID:28235200</ref>

== Publication Abstract from PubMed ==
HAP2 is a class II gamete fusogen in many eukaryotic kingdoms. A crystal structure of Chlamydomonas HAP2 shows a trimeric fusion state. Domains D1, D2.1 and D2.2 line the 3-fold axis; D3 and a stem pack against the outer surface. Surprisingly, hydrogen-deuterium exchange shows that surfaces of D1, D2.2 and D3 closest to the 3-fold axis are more dynamic than exposed surfaces. Three fusion helices in the fusion loops of each monomer expose hydrophobic residues at the trimer apex that are splayed from the 3-fold axis, leaving a solvent-filled cavity between the fusion loops in each monomer. At the base of the two fusion loops, Arg185 docks in a carbonyl cage. Comparisons to other structures, dynamics, and the greater effect on Chlamydomonas gamete fusion of mutation of axis-proximal than axis-distal fusion helices suggest that the apical portion of each monomer could tilt toward the 3-fold axis with merger of the fusion helices into a common fusion surface.
