When in Need of an ESCRT: The Nature of Virus Assembly Sites Suggests Mechanistic Parallels between Nuclear Virus Egress and Retroviral Budding

open access: yesViruses, 2021
The proper assembly and dissemination of progeny virions is a fundamental step in virus replication. As a whole, viruses have evolved a myriad of strategies to exploit cellular compartments and mechanisms to ensure a successful round of infection.

Interchangeable adaptors regulate mitochondrial dynamin assembly for membrane scission. [PDF]

open access: yesProc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 2013
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.

ESCRT membrane scission revealed by optical tweezers. [PDF]

open access: yesThe FASEB Journal, 2018
ESCRT proteins catalyze the function of membrane budding and scission from the inside of the cytosol to the outside. This process is fundamental in cell biology, comprising multivesicular endosome biogenesis, cytokinesis, viral budding (e.g. HIV, Ebola, Dengue) and other pathways.

Fusion and scission of membranes: Ubiquitous topological transformations in cells [PDF]

open access: yesTraffic, 2017
The 2016 Nobel Prizes were awarded to Yoshinori Ohsumi for autophagy and to David Thouless, Duncan Haldane and Michael Kosterlitz for topological transitions. Both of these phenomena are intrinsically related when it comes to membranes. Here, we give a brief account on topological transformations of lipid membranes, commonly known as membrane fusion ...

Endosomal recycling tubule scission and integrin recycling involve the membrane curvature supporting protein LITAF [PDF]

open access: yes, 2021
Recycling to the cell surface requires the scission of tubular membrane intermediates emanating from endosomes. Here we identify the monotopicmembrane protein LITAF (LPS-Induced TNF Activating Factor) and the related CDIP1 (Cell Death Involved p53 target

Insights into the function of ESCRT and its role in enveloped virus infection

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2023
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).

Alterations of membrane curvature during influenza virus budding [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Influenza A virus belongs to the Orthomyxoviridae family. It is an enveloped virus that contains a segmented and negative-sense RNA genome. Influenza A viruses cause annual epidemics and occasional major pandemics, are a major cause of morbidity and ...

A feedback loop between dynamin and actin recruitment during clathrin-mediated endocytosis.

open access: yesPLoS Biology, 2012
Clathrin-mediated endocytosis proceeds by a sequential series of reactions catalyzed by discrete sets of protein machinery. The final reaction in clathrin-mediated endocytosis is membrane scission, which is mediated by the large guanosine triophosphate ...

Crucial Role for Membrane Fluidity in Proliferation of Primitive Cells

open access: yesCell Reports, 2012
The cell wall is a defining structural feature of the bacterial subkingdom. However, most bacteria are capable of mutating into a cell-wall-deficient “L-form” state, requiring remarkable physiological and structural adaptations. L-forms proliferate by an
