The cell cycle process whereby the joining of the lipid bilayer membrane around a vesicle with the lipid bilayer membrane around the nucleus occurs. The aggregation, arrangement and bonding together of a set of components to form a SNARE complex, a protein complex involved in membrane fusion; a stable ternary complex consisting of a four-helix bundle, usually formed from one R-SNARE and three Q-SNAREs with an ionic layer sandwiched between hydrophobic layers. A process that is carried out at the cellular level which results in the assembly, arrangement of constituent parts, or disassembly of an organelle within a cell. An organelle is an organized structure of distinctive morphology and function. Includes the nucleus, mitochondria, plastids, vacuoles, vesicles, ribosomes and the cytoskeleton. Excludes the plasma membrane. Any process that is carried out at the cellular level, but not necessarily restricted to a single cell. For example, cell communication occurs among more than one cell, but occurs at the cellular level. The creation of a single organelle from two or more organelles. The homotypic fusion of endocytic vesicles to form or add to an early endosome. Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of vesicle fusion. The joining of the lipid bilayer membrane around a vesicle to the lipid bilayer membrane around the Golgi. The process by which a phagosome, a vesicle formed by phagocytosis, fuses with a lysosome. Fusion of the membrane of a transport vesicle with its target membrane. A process that is carried out at the cellular level which results in the assembly, arrangement of constituent parts, or disassembly of a vesicle. The joining of the lipid bilayer membrane around a vesicle with the lipid bilayer membrane around the vacuole. The cellular process that joins two lipid bilayers to form a single membrane. The joining of the lipid bilayer membrane around a Golgi transport vesicle to the target lipid bilayer membrane. The joining of the lipid bilayer membrane around a vesicle with the lipid bilayer membrane around the peroxisome. The directed movement of substances (such as macromolecules, small molecules, ions) into, out of, within or between cells, or within a multicellular organism by means of some external agent such as a transporter or pore. Fusion of the membrane of a synaptic vesicle with its target presynaptic membrane, thereby releasing its cargo neurotransmitters into the synaptic cleft. The membrane organization process that joins two lipid bilayers to form a single membrane. The directed movement of substances into, out of or within a cell by a cellular process that begins with the formation of membrane-bounded vesicles in which the transported substances are enclosed or located in the vesicle membrane. Vesicles are then targeted to, and fuse with, an acceptor membrane. The joining of the lipid bilayer membrane around a vesicle to the lipid bilayer membrane around the endoplasmic reticulum. Any process that stops, prevents or reduces the frequency, rate or extent of vesicle fusion. A process that is carried out at the cellular level which results in the assembly, arrangement of constituent parts, or disassembly of a membrane. A membrane is a double layer of lipid molecules that encloses all cells, and, in eukaryotes, many organelles; may be a single or double lipid bilayer; also includes associated proteins. Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of vesicle fusion.
