Plasma membrane deformation by circular arrays of ESCRT-III protein filaments
TLDR
It is suggested that ESCRT-III polymers delineate and help generate the luminal vesicles of multivesicular bodies and form novel membrane-attached filaments that can promote or stabilize negative curvature and outward budding.Abstract:
Endosomal sorting complex required for transport III (ESCRT-III) proteins function in multivesicular body biogenesis and viral budding. They are recruited from the cytoplasm to the membrane, where they assemble into large complexes. We used “deep-etch” electron microscopy to examine polymers formed by the ESCRT-III proteins hSnf7-1 (CHMP4A) and hSnf7-2 (CHMP4B). When overexpressed, these proteins target to endosomes and the plasma membrane. Both hSnf7 proteins assemble into regular approximately 5-nm filaments that curve and self-associate to create circular arrays. Binding to a coexpressed adenosine triphosphate hydrolysis–deficient mutant of VPS4B draws these filaments together into tight circular scaffolds that bend the membrane away from the cytoplasm to form buds and tubules protruding from the cell surface. Similar buds develop in the absence of mutant VPS4B when hSnf7-1 is expressed without its regulatory C-terminal domain. We demonstrate that hSnf7 proteins form novel membrane-attached filaments that can promote or stabilize negative curvature and outward budding. We suggest that ESCRT-III polymers delineate and help generate the luminal vesicles of multivesicular bodies.read more

The ESCRT Pathway
TL;DR: The ESCRT pathway can be viewed as a cargo-recognition and membrane-sculpting machine viewable from three distinct perspectives: the ESCRT proteins themselves, the cargo they sort, and the membrane they deform as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: Investigation of mammalian tumor cell migration in confining microenvironments in vitro and in vivo indicates that cell migration incurs substantial physical stress on the NE and its content and requires efficient NE and DNA damage repair for cell survival.

Ubiquitin-dependent sorting into the multivesicular body pathway requires the function of a conserved endosomal protein sorting complex, ESCRT-I.
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that ubiquitination serves as a signal for sorting into the multivesicular body pathway and proposed that ESCRT-I represents a conserved component of the endosomal sorting machinery that functions in both yeast and mammalian cells to couple ubiquitin modification to protein sorting and receptor downregulation in the MVB pathway.
