Interestingly, dissociation of the cytoskeleton has been
reported to facilitate several membrane remodeling processes.
Disruption of membrane skeleton of erythrocytes is found to promote
HA-mediated fusion between viral particles and erythrocytes [59].
Experiments with locally applied actin-modifying agents demonstrate
that actin depolymerization along the cleavage furrowis important for
furrow ingression during cytokinesis [60]. Local disassembly of the
actin cortex also plays an important role in exocytosis, allowing
intracellular vesicles to fuse with the plasma membrane
