-
This machinery packages receptors into temporary transport structures called multivesicular bodies (MVBs) that control the down-regulation and, ultimately, the degradation of the receptors.

ESCRT-III-mediated membrane neck cleavage is crucial for many processes, including the biogenesis of multivesicular bodies, viral budding, cytokinesis and, probably, autophagy.

In this quest we are currently focusing on a family of proteins called the ESCRTs which defines and manipulates membrane shapes for several cellular as well as pathological processes such as cytokinesis, multivesicular body biogenesis, phagocytosis and

Doyotte A, Mironov A, McKenzie E, Woodman P (2008) The Bro1-related protein HD-PTP / PTPN23 is required for endosomal cargo sorting and multivesicular body morphogenesis.
-
(ESCRT) system is essential for multivesicular body biogenesis, in which cargo sorting is coupled to the invagination and scission of intralumenal vesicles.
