Link between lipid remodeling and ESCRT-III function in multivesicular body formation

Despite a tremendous amount of work, it is still unclear how the endosomal sorting complex required for transport (ESCRT)-III complex acts in membrane remodeling and abscission. Here we present evidence that a change in membrane composition could be connected to ESCRT-III function during multivesicular body (MVB) formation. The central observation was a strong synergistic effect of two mutations on the turnover of an endocytic cargo protein. One mutation deletes Tms1, a yeast SERINC homologue. Human SERINC3 and SERINC5 are HIV-1 restriction factors and have been shown to act as scramblases, flipping phospholipids between membrane leaflets. The other mutation deletes the Vps68 subunit of the Vps55/Vps68 complex, which loosely resembles Tms1 in its overall structure. The strong synergistic effect suggests that Tms1 and Vps55/Vps68 perform a similar function. Since we could also show that Vps55 and Tms1 physically interact with ESCRT-III, we propose that a scramblase is recruited to ESCRT-III and plays a role in intraluminal vesicles formation at MVBs.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
