276 H. PLATTNER ET AL» (stretched and shot out) by exogenous Ca 2+ , once Ca 2+ can come in via the already formed exocytotic canal (B i 1 i n s k i et al. 1981a). Conclusions Mebrane-integrated and membrane-associated proteins may exert a modulating effect on membrane fusion in ciliates, other protozoa and even in metazoan cells. At least some of these systems display conspicuous ultrastructural details which could be interpreted along these lines. The actual membrane fusion appears to be a focally restricted event. In retrospect it appears now that research on membrane fusion in protozoa has provided important clues for a general understanding of membrane fusion processes. Such research appears also important with regard to the interaction of protozoan parasites and host cells. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS We thank Prof. J. Beisson for providing us generously some of her mutations, for allowing us to reproduce the freeze-fracture micrographs of Fig. 3 and for giving us valuable suggestions and criticism to this article. We also gratefully acknowledge the skilful technical (assistance of Miss C. Braun, Mrs. R. Hildebramd and Mrs. R. Sturzl as well as the secretarial help of Mrs. U. Remensperger.
