TLDR
It is found that Sulfolobus ESCRT-III and Vps4 homologs underwent regulation of their expression during the cell cycle, and these proteins specifically localized to the mid-cell during cell division.
Abstract
Archaea are prokaryotic organisms that lack endomembrane structures. However, a number of hyperthermophilic members of the Kingdom Crenarchaea, including members of the Sulfolobus genus, encode homologs of the eukaryotic endosomal sorting system components Vps4 and ESCRT-III (endosomal sorting complex required for transport–III). We found that Sulfolobus ESCRT-III and Vps4 homologs underwent regulation of their expression during the cell cycle. The proteins interacted and we established the structural basis of this interaction. Furthermore, these proteins specifically localized to the mid-cell during cell division. Overexpression of a catalytically inactive mutant Vps4 in Sulfolobus resulted in the accumulation of enlarged cells, indicative of failed cell division. Thus, the archaeal ESCRT system plays a key role in cell division.

The ESCRT machinery in endosomal sorting of ubiquitylated membrane proteins

TL;DR: The endosomal sorting complex required for transport (ESCRT) machinery sorts cargo labelled with ubiquitin into invaginations of endosome membranes and mediates the breaking off of the cargo-containing intraluminal vesicles from the perimeter membrane.

TL;DR: The interaction of a diverse repertoire of accessory proteins with FtsZ contributes to the formation of a functional division machine that is responsive to cell cycle status and environmental stress.

Membrane budding and scission by the ESCRT machinery: it's all in the neck

TL;DR: The endosomal sorting complexes required for transport (ESCRTs) catalyse one of the most unusual membrane remodelling events in cell biology, which is crucial for many processes, including the biogenesis of multivesicular bodies, viral budding, cytokinesis and, probably, autophagy.

Archaeal dominance in the mesopelagic zone of the Pacific Ocean

TL;DR: A year-long study of the abundance of two specific archaeal groups (pelagic euryarchaeota and pelagic crenarchAEota) in one of the ocean's largest habitats suggests that most pelagic deep-sea microorganisms are metabolically active and the results suggest that the global oceans harbour approximately 1.3 × 1028Archaeal cells, and 3.1‬×‬10 28 bacterial cells.

The emerging shape of the ESCRT machinery

TL;DR: Several previously unsuspected key links between multiple ESCRT subunits, phospholipids and ubiquitin have now been elucidated, which, together with the detailed morphological analyses of ESCRT-depletion phenotypes, provide new insights into the mechanism of MVB biogenesis.

Parallels Between Cytokinesis and Retroviral Budding: A Role for the ESCRT Machinery

TL;DR: It is found that two proteins involved in HIV-1 budding—tumor susceptibility gene 101 (Tsg101), a subunit of the endosomal sorting complex required for transport I (ESCRT-I), and Alix, an ESCRT-associated protein—were recruited to the midbody during cytokinesis by interaction with centrosome protein 55 (Cep55), a centrosomesome and midbody protein essential for abscission.

Biogenesis and Function of Multivesicular Bodies

TL;DR: The proper delivery of proteins to the MVB interior relies on specific ubiquitination of cargo, recognition and sorting of ubiquitinated cargo to endosomal subdomains, and the formation and scission of cargo-filled intralumenal vesicles.
