Design principles of the ESCRT-III Vps24-Vps2 module [PDF]
ESCRT-III polymerization is required for all endosomal sorting complex required for transport (ESCRT)-dependent events in the cell. However, the relative contributions of the eight ESCRT-III subunits differ between each process.

Methylation of ESCRT-III components regulates the timing of cytokinetic abscission [PDF]
Abscission is the final stage of cytokinesis, which cleaves the intercellular bridge (ICB) connecting two daughter cells. Abscission requires tight control of the recruitment and polymerization of the Endosomal Protein Complex Required for Transport-III (

Modelling membrane reshaping by staged polymerization of ESCRT-III filaments. [PDF]
ESCRT-III filaments are composite cytoskeletal polymers that can constrict and cut cell membranes from the inside of the membrane neck. Membrane-bound ESCRT-III filaments undergo a series of dramatic composition and geometry changes in the presence of an

Electrostatic lateral interactions drive ESCRT-III heteropolymer assembly
Self-assembly of ESCRT-III complex is a critical step in all ESCRT-dependent events. ESCRT-III hetero-polymers adopt variable architectures, but the mechanisms of inter-subunit recognition in these hetero-polymers to create flexible architectures remain ...

VPS4B orchestrates response to nuclear envelope stress by regulating ESCRT-III dynamics in glioblastoma [PDF]
The Nuclear envelope (NE) is frequently challenged by mechanical stimuli involving cells passing through a tight space and such stress is known as “NE stress.” Various factors that cooperate to repair the NE have been identified, including endosomal ...

Vps60 initiates alternative ESCRT-III filaments. [PDF]
Endosomal sorting complex required for transport-III (ESCRT-III) participates in essential cellular functions, from cell division to endosome maturation. The remarkable increase of its subunit diversity through evolution may have enabled the acquisition of novel functions. Here, we characterize a novel ESCRT-III copolymer initiated by Vps60.

The endosomal sorting complex required for transport (ESCRT) system is essential for multivesicular body biogenesis, in which cargo sorting is coupled to the invagination and scission of intralumenal vesicles. The ESCRTs are also needed for budding of enveloped viruses including human immunodeficiency virus 1, and for membrane abscission in cytokinesis.

A complex network of interactions between mitotic kinases, phosphatases and ESCRT proteins regulates septation and membrane trafficking in S. pombe [PDF]
Cytokinesis and cell separation are critical events in the cell cycle. We show that Endosomal Sorting Complex Required for Transport (ESCRT) genes are required for cell separation in Schizosaccharomyces pombe.

Physical mechanisms of ESCRT-III-driven cell division. [PDF]
Significance Cell division is an essential requirement for life. Division requires mechanical forces, often exerted by protein assemblies from the cell interior, that split a single cell into two. Using coarse-grained computer simulations and live cell imaging we define a distinct cell division mechanism—based on the forces ...
