FAM134B oligomerization drives endoplasmic reticulum membrane scission for ER-phagy. [PDF]
Degradation of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) by selective autophagy (ER-phagy) is crucial for ER homeostasis. However, it remains unclear how ER scission is regulated for subsequent autophagosomal sequestration and lysosomal degradation. Here, we show that oligomerization of ER-phagy receptor FAM134B (also referred to as reticulophagy regulator 1 or ...

A helical assembly of human ESCRT-I scaffolds reverse-topology membrane scission. [PDF]
AbstractThe ESCRT complexes drive membrane scission in HIV-1 release, autophagosome closure, MVB biogenesis, cytokinesis, and other cell processes. ESCRT-I is the most upstream complex and bridges the system to HIV-1 Gag in virus release. The crystal structure of the headpiece of human ESCRT-I comprising TSG101:VPS28:VPS37B:MVB12A was determined ...

Endophilin-A2 functions in membrane scission in clathrin-independent endocytosis. [PDF]
During endocytosis, energy is invested to narrow the necks of cargo-containing plasma membrane invaginations to radii at which the opposing segments spontaneously coalesce, thereby leading to the detachment by scission of endocytic uptake carriers. In the clathrin pathway, dynamin uses mechanical energy from GTP hydrolysis to this effect, assisted by ...

Interchangeable adaptors regulate mitochondrial dynamin assembly for membrane scission. [PDF]
Significance Mitochondrial fission is critical for mammalian cell division, mitophagy, and development. Fission initiates via recruitment of dynamin-related GTPases to the mitochondrial surface. In yeast and human, the recruitment utilizes adaptors that differ in sequence and predicted structure.

Actin Dynamics Drive Membrane Reorganization and Scission in Clathrin-Independent Endocytosis [PDF]
Nascent transport intermediates detach from donor membranes by scission. This process can take place in the absence of dynamin, notably in clathrin-independent endocytosis, by mechanisms that are yet poorly defined. We show here that in cells scission of Shiga toxin-induced tubular endocytic membrane invaginations is preceded by cholesterol-dependent ...

Membrane deformation and scission by the HSV-1 nuclear egress complex [PDF]
The nuclear egress complex (NEC) of herpesviruses such as HSV-1 is essential for the exit of nascent capsids from the cell nucleus. The NEC drives nuclear envelope vesiculation in cells, but the precise budding mechanism and the potential involvement of cellular proteins are unclear.

Biomolecular condensates mediate bending and scission of endosome membranes
AbstractMultivesicular bodies are key endosomal compartments implicated in cellular quality control through their degradation of membrane-bound cargo proteins1–3. The ATP-consuming ESCRT protein machinery mediates the capture and engulfment of membrane-bound cargo proteins through invagination and scission of multivesicular-body membranes to form ...

Assembly and disassembly of the ESCRT-III membrane scission complex.
The ESCRT (endosomal sorting complex required for transport) pathway promotes the final membrane scission step at the end of cytokinesis, assists viral budding and generates multivesicular bodies (MVBs). These seemingly unrelated processes require a topologically similar membrane deformation and scission event that buds membranes/vesicles out of the ...
