The Sec1/Munc18 protein Vps45 regulates cellular levels of its SNARE binding partners Tlg2 and Snc2 in Saccharomyces cerevisiae [PDF]
Intracellular membrane trafficking pathways must be tightly regulated to ensure proper functioning of all eukaryotic cells. Central to membrane trafficking is the formation of specific SNARE (soluble N-ethylmeleimide-sensitive factor attachment protein ...

Septin6 and Septin7 GTP binding proteins regulate AP-3- and ESCRT-dependent multivesicular body biogenesis. [PDF]
Septins (SEPTs) form a family of GTP-binding proteins implicated in cytoskeleton and membrane organization, cell division and host/pathogen interactions. The precise function of many family members remains elusive.

The endosomal sorting complex required for transport machinery influences haem uptake and capsule elaboration in Cryptococcus neoformans [PDF]
SummaryIron availability is a key determinant of virulence in the pathogenic fungus Cryptococcus neoformans. Previous work revealed that the ESCRT (endosomal sorting complex required for transport) protein Vps23 functions in iron acquisition, capsule formation and virulence. Here, we further characterized the ESCRT machinery to demonstrate that defects

The endosomal sorting complex required for transport complex negatively regulates Erg6 degradation under specific glucose restriction conditions [PDF]
Abstract Lipid droplets (LDs) are cytosolic fat storage organelles that play roles in lipid metabolism, trafficking and signaling. Breakdown of LDs in Saccharomyces cerevisiae is mainly achieved by lipolysis and lipophagy.

Protein trafficking through the endosomal system prepares intracellular parasites for a home invasion [PDF]
Toxoplasma (toxoplasmosis) and Plasmodium (malaria) use unique secretory organelles for migration, cell invasion, manipulation of host cell functions, and cell egress. In particular, the apical secretory micronemes and rhoptries of apicomplexan parasites

A Structural View on ESCRT-Mediated Abscission
The endosomal sorting complex required for transport (ESCRT) mediates cellular processes that are related to membrane remodeling, such as multivesicular body (MVB) formation, viral budding and cytokinesis.

Insights into the function of ESCRT and its role in enveloped virus infection
The endosomal sorting complex required for transport (ESCRT) is an essential molecular machinery in eukaryotic cells that facilitates the invagination of endosomal membranes, leading to the formation of multivesicular bodies (MVBs).

What Is the Role of Giant Endosomal Sorting Complexes Required for Transport (ESCRT) Structures in T Cell Activation? [PDF]
ABSTRACT Our lab recently discovered uniquely large (multiple micrometres) ring‐shaped cellular structures composed of endosomal sorting complexes required for transport (ESCRT) proteins. These structures are formed by tissue infiltrating fibroblasts, dendritic cells (DCs) and macrophages but only in specific culturing conditions ...

Membrane remodelling by a lipidated endosomal sorting complex required for transport-III chimera, in vitro [PDF]
The complexity of eukaryotic cells is underscored by the compartmentalization of chemical signals by phospholipid membranes. A grand challenge of synthetic biology is building life from the ‘bottom-up’, for the purpose of generating systems simple enough to precisely interrogate biological pathways or for adapting biology to perform entirely novel ...

Structural Insights into Endosomal Sorting Complex Required for Transport (ESCRT-I) Recognition of Ubiquitinated Proteins [PDF]
The endosomal sorting complex required for transport (ESCRT-I) is a 350-kDa complex of three proteins, Vps23, Vps28, and Vps37. The N-terminal ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme E2 variant (UEV) domain of Vps23 is required for sorting ubiquitinated proteins into the internal vesicles of multivesicular bodies.
