The AFF-1 exoplasmic fusogen is required for endocytic scission and seamless tube elongation

Membrane fusion and fission events at exoplasmic membrane surfaces are not well understood. Here the authors show that the C. elegans cell–cell fusogen AFF-1 is required for endocytic scission and apically-directed membrane trafficking during the development of a unicellular tube.
