Histidine protonation and the activation of viral fusion proteins
... As noted above, pH-induced fusion occurs close to the pK a of histidine in water (pK a = 6). This strongly suggests that the process is triggered by the protonation of one or more histidine residues. Viral fusion proteins have been separated into two classes based on structural and functional proper ...

SNARE (protein)
SNARE proteins (an acronym derived from ""SNAP (Soluble NSF Attachment Protein) REceptor"") are a large protein superfamily consisting of more than 60 members in yeast and mammalian cells. The primary role of SNARE proteins is to mediate vesicle fusion, that is, the fusion of vesicles with their target membrane bound compartments (such as a lysosome). The best studied SNAREs are those that mediate docking of synaptic vesicles with the presynaptic membrane in neurons. These SNAREs are the targets of the bacterial neurotoxins responsible for botulism and tetanus.
