Hydraulic fracturing in cells and tissues: fracking meets cell biology [PDF]
The animal body is fundamentally made of water. A small fraction of this water is freely flowing in blood and lymph, but most of it is trapped in hydrogels such as the extracellular matrix (ECM), the cytoskeleton, and chromatin.

Membranumbau durch ESCRT-III-Proteine
AbstractTo maintain their function, cellular membranes require membrane remodelling, mediated by protein machineries like the ESCRT-III that deforms and breaks membranes in different cellular functions. Its mechanism of function is still unknown. However, recent findings on the ESCRT-IIIs’ structural and dynamic features, such as their ability to alter

Vps68 cooperates with ESCRT-III in intraluminal vesicle formation [PDF]
AbstractThe endosomal sorting complex required for transport (ESCRT)-III mediates budding and abscission of intraluminal vesicles (ILVs) into multivesicular endosomes. To further define the role of the ESCRT-III associated protein Mos10/Vps60 in ILV formation, we screened for new interaction partners by SILAC/MS.

As the important molecular machinery for membrane protein sorting in eukaryotic cells, the endosomal sorting and transport complexes (ESCRT-0/I/II/III and VPS4) usually participate in various replication stages of enveloped viruses, such as endocytosis ...

ALIX binds a YPX(3)L motif of the GPCR PAR1 and mediates ubiquitin-independent ESCRT-III/MVB sorting. [PDF]
The sorting of signaling receptors to lysosomes is an essential regulatory process in mammalian cells. During degradation, receptors are modified with ubiquitin and sorted by endosomal sorting complex required for transport (ESCRT)-0, -I, -II, and -III ...

Unrestrained ESCRT-III drives micronuclear catastrophe and chromosome fragmentation [PDF]
The ESCRT-III membrane fission machinery maintains the integrity of the nuclear envelope. Although primary nuclei resealing takes minutes, micronuclear envelope ruptures seem to be irreversible. Instead, micronuclear ruptures result in catastrophic membrane collapse and are associated with chromosome fragmentation and chromothripsis, complex chromosome

Functional Reconstitution of ESCRT-III Assembly and Disassembly [PDF]
Receptor downregulation in the MVB pathway is mediated by the ESCRT complexes. ESCRT-III is composed of four protein subunits that are monomeric in the cytosol and oligomerize into a protein lattice only upon membrane binding. Recent studies have shown that the ESCRT-III protein Snf7 can form a filament by undergoing homo-oligomerization.
