Endosomal sorting complexes required for transport (ESCRTs) promote the invagination of vesicles into the lumen of endosomes, the budding of enveloped viruses, and the separation of cells during cytokinesis. These processes share a topologically similar membrane scission event facilitated by ESCRT-III assembly at the cytosolic surface of the membrane. The Snf7 subunit of ESCRT-III in yeast binds directly to an auxiliary protein, Bro1. Like ESCRT-III, Bro1 is required for the formation of intralumenal vesicles at endosomes, but its role in membrane scission is unknown. We show that overexpression of Bro1 or its N-terminal Bro1 domain that binds Snf7 enhances the stability of ESCRT-III by inhibiting Vps4-mediated disassembly in vivo and in vitro. This stabilization effect correlates with a reduced frequency in the detachment of intralumenal vesicles as observed by electron tomography, implicating Bro1 as a regulator of ESCRT-III disassembly and membrane scission activity.

Autophagosomes are formed by the enlargement and sealing of phagophores. This is accompanied by the recruitment and release of autophagy-related (Atg) proteins that function therein. Presently, the relationship among factors that act after the initial emergence of the phagophore is unclear.

During clathrin-mediated endocytosis (CME), dozens of proteins are recruited to nascent CME sites on the plasma membrane, and their spatial and temporal coordination is crucial for efficient CME. Here, we show that the scaffold protein intersectin1 (ITSN1) promotes CME by organizing and stabilizing endocytic protein interaction networks. Live-cell imaging of genome-edited cells revealed that endogenously labeled ITSN1 is recruited during CME site stabilization and growth and that ITSN1 knockdown impairs endocytic protein recruitment during this stage.

Many enveloped viruses bud from the plasma membrane that is tightly associated with a dense and thick actin cortex. This actin network represents a significant challenge for membrane deformation and scission, and how it is remodeled during the late steps of the viral cycle is largely unknown. Using superresolution microscopy, we show that HIV-1 buds in areas of the plasma membrane with low cortical F-actin levels.

The influenza A M2 homotetrameric channel consists of four transmembrane (TM) and four amphipathic helices (AHs). This viral proton channel is suggested to form clusters in the catenoid budding neck areas in raft-like domains of the plasma membrane, resulting in cell membrane scission and viral release. The channel clustering environment is rich in cholesterol.
