Abstract:Endosomal Sorting Complexes Required for Transport (ESCRTs) drive reverse topology membrane remodeling events including the formation of intralumenal vesicles within multivesicular bodies, the budding of retroviruses from the plasma membrane, and the scission of the cytokinetic bridge. It has been difficult to study the physiological relevance of this machinery in mammals because many contributing components are essential for viability. To bypass this problem we used combinations of knockout (−), hypomorphic … Show more
