Membrane fusion is an essential step in the encounter of two nuclei from sex cells--sperm and egg--in fertilization. However, aside from the involvement of two molecules, CD9 and Izumo, the mechanism of fusion remains unclear. Here, we show that sperm-egg fusion is mediated by vesicles containing CD9 that are released from the egg and interact with...
