ESCRT proteins are part of the endosomal cell during cytokinesis. In this Commentary, we describe recent trafficking system and play a crucial role in the biogenesis of advances in the understanding of ESCRT proteins and how they multivesicular bodies by functioning in the formation of vesicles act to mediate these diverse processes. that bud away from the cytoplasm.

Remarkably, it has recently been described that ESCRT proteins also have a role Key words: Abscission, Cytokinesis, ESCRT, HIV-1, L-domain, in the topologically equivalent process of cell division. In the Retroviral assembly same way that viral particles recruit the ESCRT proteins to Introduction From yeast to humans – assembly and function of the The endosomal sorting complex required for transport (ESCRT) ESCRT machinery proteins were initially identified in Saccharomyces cerevisiae as The ESCRT proteins make up four protein complexes termed class E vacuolar protein sorting (Vps) gene products (Katzmann ESCRT-0, ESCRT-I, ESCRT-II and ESCRT-III. This machinery et al., 2002; Raymond et al., 1992). Since then, the majority of assembles on the endosomal membrane and, through a series of work aimed at characterising these proteins has focused on ubiquitin-interacting elements, identifies ubiquitin-labelled receptors, determining their function in the sorting and degradation of which are destined for lysosomal degradation. Sorting of these ubiquitylated membrane receptors in the late endosome-lysosome receptors into the intralumenal vesicles (ILVs) of MVBs allows pathway. Several models have been proposed to explain the subsequent exposure to lysosomal acidic hydrolases when the MVBs association of the different complexes and the mechanics of fuse with the lysosome. Studies in yeast suggest that the ESCRTs are membrane deformation and vesicle formation (Hurley and Emr, sequentially recruited to the endosomal membrane through various 2006; Nickerson et al., 2007). Surprisingly, work carried out more protein and lipid interactions (Burd and Emr, 1998; Gill et al., 2007b; recently has revealed additional functions of the ESCRT proteins Katzmann et al., 2003; Stahelin et al., 2002). Recent structural studies in viral budding and cytokinesis. Now, the question to address is: have provided a better understanding of how ESCRT-I and ESCRT-II what aspects of ESCRT function are required for these processes? are assembled, and of their interactions with ubiquitylated cargo (Gill It is not known whether viral budding requires the same membrane et al., 2007a; Kostelansky et al., 2007; Kostelansky et al., 2006; Pineda- deformation activity as is involved in the biogenesis of Molina et al., 2006; Teo et al., 2006; Teo et al., 2004a; Teo et al., multivesicular bodies (MVBs), or whether this function is provided 2004b), areas that have been expertly reviewed (Hurley and Emr, 2006; by the oligomerisation of the membrane-associated viral Gag Williams and Urbe, 2007). Finally, ESCRT-III recruits the AAA- proteins (Gottlinger, 2001). Likewise, during cytokinesis, the ATPase Vps4, a key enzyme that is required for ESCRT function and daughter cell is formed by massive membrane remodelling, disassembly. Although ESCRT proteins and the protein-protein involving the contraction of an actomyosin ring around the cell interactions of the ESCRT pathway are remarkably conserved from perimeter, rather than the ‘budding’ of a nascent cell from the yeast to humans (Bowers et al., 2004; Martin-Serrano et al., 2003b; plasma membrane. Despite differences in the processes of MVB von Schwedler et al., 2003), some differences are evident. For biogenesis, viral-particle release and cytokinesis, it is clear that example, ESCRT-II is required for MVB biogenesis in yeast, but its they have in common the requirement for a membrane-scission functional significance in humans is still under debate (Bowers et al., event for the release of the progeny vesicle, virion or daughter 2006; Langelier et al., 2006; Malerod et al., 2007). cell (Fig. 1). Here, we explore the evidence supporting the role of ESCRT proteins in membrane scission and the possibility that The core ESCRT machinery different ESCRT subunits are required for differential ESCRT ESCRT-III is thought to provide the core activities of membrane functions. deformation and scission, and is required for all known ESCRT Journal of Cell Science 2168 Journal of Cell Science 122 (13) found in CHMP3 (Whitley et al., 2003) and CHMP4 (Lin et al., 2005) and a myristyl group in CHMP6 (Yorikawa et al., 2005). However, the C-terminal domains are free to recruit additional ESCRT-binding partners. CHMP proteins bind to microtubule- interaction and trafficking (MIT)-domain-containing proteins, such as VPS4 and the activator protein LIP5, via a MIT-interaction motif (MIM) at their C-termini (Agromayor and Martin-Serrano, 2006; Azmi et al., 2008; Nickerson et al., 2006; Obita et al., 2007; Scott et al., 2005b; Shim et al., 2008; Stuchell-Brereton et al., 2007; HIV-1 budding Tsang et al., 2006; Xiao et al., 2008). The connection between the VPS4-LIP5 complex and the CHMP4-CHMP6 subcomplex occurs via a slightly different mechanism, as these CHMP proteins do not Nucleus ILV contain the conventional MIM. Instead, Kieffer et al. have reported Abscission an alternative interaction that occurs between CHMP6 and the MIT MVB biogenesis domain of VPS4 through a region of CHMP6 that they term an ‘MIM2 element’ (Kieffer et al., 2008). Functional MIM2 elements have also been identified in CHMP4 and the regulatory protein IST homolog (hIST1) (described below) (Bajorek et al., 2009). Fig. 1. A diagram illustrating topologically equivalent ‘budding’ events for VPS4 enzymes form oligomeric complexes on endosomal which the ESCRT machinery is required. The formation of intralumenal membranes (Babst et al., 1998; Scott et al., 2005a); these vesicles (ILVs) within multivesicular bodies (MVBs), viral budding and abscission during cytokinesis all require the resolution of a cytoplasm-filled complexes are comprised of two hexameric (Yu et al., 2008) or membranous tether. heptameric (Hartmann et al., 2008) rings. In yeast, Vta1 (human LIP5) stimulates the ATPase activity of Vps4 (Azmi et al., 2006; Lottridge et al., 2006) and promotes the assembly of the double functions in yeast and humans. Some of the pioneering work in this ring structure (Xiao et al., 2008). VPS4 activity is also regulated field suggested that ESCRT-III assembles as an insoluble lattice on by several proteins, including ESCRT-III itself (Azmi et al., 2008) the endosomal membrane and mediates membrane deformation and the newly identified ESCRT-related protein Ist1 (Dimaano through a mechanism involving Vps4. Deletion of ESCRT-III et al., 2008; Rue et al., 2008). Ist1 forms a subcomplex with Did2 components, or the expression of catalytically inactive Vps4 (human CHMP1A or CHMP1B) and, in humans, hIST1 interacts mutants, prevents the normal degradation of endosomal cargo and with LIP5, VPS4 and other MIT-domain-containing proteins via causes the accumulation of aberrant endosomes (Babst et al., 2002; two MIMs located at the extreme C-terminus (Agromayor et al., Babst et al., 1997; Babst et al., 1998; Bishop and Woodman, 2000). 2009; Bajorek et al., 2009). Studies in yeast initially suggested A function in membrane scission is also suggested by the finding that the Ist1-Did2 complex is a positive modulator of Vps4 through that these large aberrant endosomes lack internal vesicles (Babst the stabilisation of its interaction with ESCRT-III at the endosomal et al., 1997; Odorizzi et al., 1998). membrane (Rue et al., 2008). Additionally, negative regulation of Human ESCRT-III consists of charged MVB protein (CHMP) Vps4 by Ist1 in the cytoplasm has also been proposed (Dimaano subunits, some of which have evolved multiple isoforms (see et al., 2008). In summary, ESCRT-III proteins form an insoluble Table 1). Studies in yeast indicate that these proteins are arranged lattice on the endosomal membrane via N-terminal interactions, into two subcomplexes, one that contains CHMP4A, CHMP4B or while their C-terminal domains act to recruit the AAA-ATPase CHMP4C (yeast Snf7; yeast nomenclature will hereafter be shown VPS4 and other regulatory proteins that are required for function. in parentheses unless otherwise indicated) and CHMP6 (Vps20), and another that consists of CHMP2A or CHMP2B (Vps2) and A membrane-deformation and -scission machinery CHMP3 (Vps24) (Babst et al., 2002). CHMP1A, CHMP1B (Vps46, The formation of ILVs within MVBs during cargo sorting requires Did2) and CHMP5 (Vps60) play important accessory and regulatory the coordinated deformation of the endosomal membrane to form roles in ESCRT function (Azmi et al., 2008; Lottridge et al., 2006; a nascent vesicle, followed by a membrane-scission event that Nickerson et al., 2006). The recently identified human protein releases the ILV into the MVB. The idea that ESCRT-III proteins CHMP7 (of which there is no known yeast homolog) interacts with were involved in membrane deformation was initially suggested CHMP4 proteins (Horii et al., 2006), although further investigations by the formation of filamentous polymers on the plasma are required to determine its function. membrane by overexpressed CHMP4A and CHMP4B: The CHMP proteins are similar in form to one another, each with surprisingly, the filaments formed circular arrays that were capable an N-terminal basic region and a C-terminal acidic region. Structural of deforming the membrane (Hanson et al., 2008). In agreement studies of CHMP3 suggest that CHMP proteins have an with these observations, Snf7 (human CHMP4) and Vps24 (human autoinhibitory activity whereby the uncomplexed protein folds into CHMP3) form helical polymers in vitro that can be disassembled a closed conformation through the attractive charges. However, by Vps4 in the presence of ATP. A role for Vps4 in the assembly following activation, the protein conformation may ‘open’, enabling of the ESCRT-III lattice is also suggested by the finding that, in CHMP proteins to associate with each other, forming a lattice on the the presence of ADP, Vps4 causes the chimeric filaments to bundle membrane (Lata et al., 2008a; Muziol et al., 2006; Shim et al., 2007; into extensive cables (Ghazi-Tabatabai et al., 2008). Recent work Zamborlini et al., 2006). It has been proposed that the N-terminal by Scott Emr and colleagues has also provided genetic and basic region associates with the membrane via electrostatic charges biochemical evidence that supports the idea that individual with the lipid bilayer (Muziol et al., 2006), although additional ESCRT-III subunits have specific functions and are recruited in anchorage may be provided by phosphoinositide-binding domains an ordered manner. Specifically, binding of Vps20 (human Journal of Cell Science ECSRTs in abscission and viral release 2169 CHMP6) to the membrane initiates the oligomerisation of Snf7 Vertical cross-section Horizontal cross-section subunits to form filaments at the MVBs. Subsequently, these filaments could encircle and concentrate endosomal cargo into defined regions of membrane. The oligomerisation reaction would then be terminated by the binding of the Vps24-Vps2 (human CHMP3-CHMP2) subcomplex, which also recruits Vps4 (Saksena et al., 2009; Teis et al., 2008). Plasma membrane A model has also been proposed for ESCRT disassembly: it has been suggested that individual subunits are ‘pumped’ through the central pore of the VPS4 complex into the cytoplasm (Scott et al., 2005a; Stuchell-Brereton et al., 2007; Yu et al., 2008). In line with the mechanism of function for spastin, another MIT-domain- containing AAA-ATPase (Roll-Mecak and Vale, 2008; White et al., 2007), the ESCRT-III subunits could be moved to binding sites within the central pore of the AAA-ATPase ring (Gonciarz et al., 2008; Shim et al., 2008), before being ‘pulled’ through via conformational changes induced during ATP binding and hydrolysis. It has been suggested that removing the subunits in this fashion could result in a constricting force that promotes vesicle extrusion and neck closure (Kieffer et al., 2008). A direct role for ESCRT-III in membrane scission has recently been demonstrated by reconstituting this activity using an in vitro Key system of MVB formation (Wollert et al., 2009a), and the ESCRT-III VPS4 subunit monomer VPS4 mechanistic details of this reaction have also started to be complex MIM MIT domain elucidated. Recent in vitro experiments conducted with bound to LIP5 Basic domain LIP5 dimer C-terminally truncated CHMP2A (CHMP2AΔCTD) and CHMP3 have demonstrated that these proteins can oligomerise and assemble into long tubular structures. Intriguingly, the Fig. 2. A model for ESCRT-III–VPS4-mediated membrane scission. Following coexpression of CHMP2AΔCTD, CHMP3 and VPS4 results in recruitment by upstream ESCRT complexes, ESCRT-III assembles on the the formation of tubular structures in which VPS4 is on the inside membrane. N-terminal basic domains (blue) of ESCRT-III subunits attach to of the tube, whereas the membrane-interaction sites of the CHMP the membrane, whereas the flexibly linked C-terminal MIMs (MIT-interaction motifs; red) project away from the membrane. The AAA-ATPase VPS4 proteins are on the outside. Importantly, the tubular arrays of assembles into a double-ring complex and interacts with ESCRT-III subunits ESCRT proteins had a diameter in the range of that seen for MVB- via N-terminal MIT (microtubule interaction and trafficking) domains vesicle and virus-particle stalks, suggesting that these tubular (yellow). The regulatory protein LIP5 (purple) forms a dimer and associates structures might be important for membrane scission. Interestingly, with the VPS4 complex (note that the MIT domains of LIP5 have been omitted for clarity). Narrowing of the membrane tube might be concurrent the addition of ATP caused the disassembly of the tubes (Lata with VPS4-mediated disassembly of the ESCRT-III lattice. It is possible that et al., 2008b). It is possible that extraction of ESCRT-III subunits subunit removal via mechanical extraction through the VPS4 complex could through a VPS4 ring could pull the membrane together, leading reduce the diameter of the tube and lead to constriction. Top two panels show to the resolution of the membrane stalk. Thus, in a similar way vertical and horizontal cross-sections of a wide membrane tube. The bottom that the enzyme dynamin forms a ring around inwardly budding two panels illustrate cross-sections of the thinner tube formed following the removal of the ESCRT-III lattice from the wider tube. vesicles, perhaps VPS4 – the only known energy-expending protein of the ESCRT pathway – acts on the internal membrane of an outwardly budding vesicle (Fig. 2). It should be noted that the tubular structures described by Lata et al. differ significantly discovery was preceded by the finding that the release of HIV-1 from the helical filaments reported by Ghazi-Tabatabai et al., although the reason for this difference is unclear (Lata particles could be blocked by the mutation of four amino acids TAP ) in the p6 protein of the HIV-1 Gag polyprotein (Gottlinger et al., 2008b; Ghazi-Tabatabai et al., 2008). One intriguing (P 7 10 possibility that might explain these conflicting results is that the et al., 1991; Huang et al., 1995). Mutation of the PTAP motif or two conformations might represent sequential stages of the truncation of the p6 protein resulted in fully formed viral particles ESCRT-III oligomeric structures that are required for sorting and that remained attached to the plasma membrane of the host cell by membrane-scission events. However, it is important to take into a membranous tether. Several other enveloped viruses from the account that these structures do not comprise all four ESCRT-III filovirus and rhabdovirus families also appear to contain short proteins, and recent evidence has shown that at least Snf7, peptide motifs that are essential for virus release at a late stage of Vps24 and Vps20 are required for MVB formation (Wollert et al., assembly and budding (Craven et al., 1999; Harty et al., 2000; Harty 2009a). et al., 1999). The term late domain (L-domain) was thus coined to describe these motifs. ESCRTs and virus-particle release The idea that viral L-domains were recruiting a host cell factor(s) ESCRTs and virus budding was supported by several findings. First, L-domains can function A short time after the ESCRT ‘budding’ machinery was initially in a positionally independent manner within viral Gag proteins discovered, a surprising new role for these proteins was defined in (Parent et al., 1995). Second, L-domains are interchangeable the release of enveloped retroviruses from the host cell. This between different viral Gag proteins (Parent et al., 1995; Yuan et al., Journal of Cell Science 2170 Journal of Cell Science 122 (13) Journal of Cell Science Table 1.

ECSRTs in abscission and viral release 2171 2000) and hence are not virus specific. Additionally, a number of studies have also implicated an aspect of the ubiquitylation machinery in viral budding: proteasome inhibitors were shown to cause an L-domain-defective phenotype in cells infected with HIV-1 or Rous sarcoma virus, or that were expressing Simian ) Gag (Patnaik et al., 2000; immunodeficiency virus type (SIV mac Schubert et al., 2000; Strack et al., 2000). In 2001, the search for the HIV-1 ‘budding factor’ ended when the interaction between the PTAP motif of HIV-1 p6 and the ESCRT-I protein Tsg101 was shown, with the demonstration that Tsg101 recruits the entire ESCRT machinery to mediate virus budding (Demirov et al., 2002; Garrus et al., 2001; Martin-Serrano et al., 2001; VerPlank et al., 2001). This finding sparked a flood of interest in the field and, since then, several other viruses, including those from the arenavirus and paramyxovirus families, have also been found to contain L-domains (Bieniasz, 2006; Perez et al., 2003; Schmitt et al., 2005). Interestingly, the requirement of a functional ESCRT pathway for particle release is not restricted to RNA viruses. Recent work has demonstrated that the enveloped DNA viruses hepatitis B and herpes simplex virus type 1 also require the ESCRT machinery, because the expression of dominant-negative forms of CHMP3, CHMP4B and CHMP4C or of catalytically inactive VPS4 proteins inhibits virus release (Crump et al., 2007; Lambert et al., 2007; Watanabe et al., 2007). Although PTAP (and PSAP) L-domains recruit the ESCRT machinery via Tsg101, other L-domains access the complexes L L-domains bind the adaptor through different means. LYPx protein ALIX, which in turn binds and recruits the ESCRT machinery via the CHMP4 proteins (Fisher et al., 2007; Martin- Serrano et al., 2003b; McCullough et al., 2008; Strack et al., 2003; Usami et al., 2007; von Schwedler et al., 2003; Zhai et al., 2008). The PPxY motif enlists members of the NEDD4 family of ubiquitin ligases through interactions with WW domains (Bouamr et al., 2003; Garnier et al., 1996; Harty et al., 2000; Harty et al., 1999; Kikonyogo et al., 2001; Martin-Serrano et al., 2005; Yasuda et al., 2002), although the precise link between the NEDD4-like proteins and the ESCRT machinery is still unknown (Martin-Serrano, 2007). Finally, a fourth L-domain encoded by the FPIV amino acid motif has been identified in the matrix protein of the paramyxovirus simian virus 5, although the mechanism of ESCRT recruitment by this L-domain is currently unknown (Schmitt et al., 2005). Interestingly, many of the viruses studied contain more than one type of L-domain motif (Bouamr et al., 2003; Gottwein et al., 2003; Segura-Morales et al., 2005). For example, HIV-1 contains binding sites for Tsg101 and ALIX (Strack et al., 2003), and, although it lacks a PPxY motif, the surprising influence of NEDD4L (also known as Nedd4-2s) ubiquitin-ligase activity on HIV-1 budding has recently been shown (Chung et al., 2008; Usami et al., 2008). An additional ALIX-binding site has also been identified in the nucleocapsid protein of HIV-1 Gag; this site might play an auxiliary role in virus release (Popov et al., 2008). It is well established that the interaction between the PTAP L-domain motif and Tsg101 is the preferential means of HIV-1 release in HEK293T cells; however, mutation of the PTAP motif renders the virus reliant on its LYPx motif (Fisher et al., 2007; Usami et al., 2007), and, independently, on a region in the C-terminal domain of capsid (CP) and the SP1 region of the Gag polyprotein, for NEDD4L activity (Chung et al., 2008; Usami et al., 2008). The evolution of ‘back-up’ L-domains illustrates the crucial role of ESCRT proteins and ESCRT-associated cofactors in viral release. However, it is not completely clear why viruses have evolved multiple L-domains. One possibility could be Journal of Cell Science Table 1.

However, in addition to the classic late- is a large multi-subunit protein complex that functions in the budding defects, the mutation of L-domains in some retroviruses, tethering of Golgi-derived secretory vesicles to distinct plasma- or the depletion or disruption of some ESCRT proteins, can lead membrane regions, and its localisation to the midbody ring seems to other problems, ranging from early assembly blocks to maturation to be required for cytokinesis (Gromley et al., 2005). Subsequent failure. Observations of cells infected with PPPY L-domain mutants recruitment to the midbody of endobrevin (a v-SNARE protein; of human T-cell leukaemia virus type 1 and Mason-Pfizer monkey also known as VAMP8) and syntaxin-2 (a t-SNARE protein) by virus by electron microscopy revealed an early-budding phenotype; components of the midbody ring facilitates membrane-fusion events Gag protein accumulated underneath the plasma membrane, but little that are crucial for abscission (Gromley et al., 2005; Low et al., or no assembled virus particles were found attached to the cell 2003). Moreover, important regulators of the SNAREs, such as the surface by membranous tethers (Bouamr et al., 2003; Gottwein et al., Rab family of GTPases, have also been implicated in the terminal 2003; Le Blanc et al., 2002). A different phenotype was seen on stages of cytokinesis. Specifically, endocytic Rab proteins (Rab35, deletion of the p12 L-domain-containing protein or PPPY motif of Rab11 and, in certain cells, Rab8) are also key regulators of vesicle murine leukaemia virus; in this viral context, morphologically traffic during the final stages of cell division (Fielding et al., 2005; tubular virions were observed, as well as viral particles that were Kouranti et al., 2006; Pohl and Jentsch, 2008; Wilson et al., 2005; attached to each other in chains (Yuan et al., 2000).

The ESCRT localisation at the midbody depletion of MVB12A or MVB12B resulted in the accumulation Previous models of cytokinesis proposed that the resolution of the of amorphous, aberrant viral particles, although particle release was not inhibited. However, the overexpression of these proteins did membranous tether between two cells could be achieved by reduce viral budding, and this was dependent on the ability of the membrane-fusion events that are mediated by SNAREs. According proteins to bind Tsg101 and on their phosphorylation (Morita et al., to these models, the combination of membrane addition by vesicle 2007a). Altogether, these observations suggest that, in addition to fusion to the plasma membrane, and the influx and fusion of a function in membrane scission, some viruses might also require endocytic and secretory vesicles to the midbody region (effectively additional aspects of the ESCRT machinery for assembly and/or making ‘holes’ in the tether) was thought to be sufficient to mediate maturation. membrane scission (Gromley et al., 2005). A key activity in this model is the homotypic fusion of vesicles at the midbody in order ESCRTs and daughter-cell release to facilitate the final event in abscission. However, experimental Cytokinesis, the process of cytoplasmic division, is the final stage of evidence supporting homotypic fusion during abscission has been the cell cycle following mitosis. It is at this final stage that one cell elusive. Crucially, the topology of the membrane-scission event that becomes two. Remarkably, it now seems that the ESCRT machinery is required for abscission is identical to the topology of the is required for a terminal step in this process. In animal cells, the act membrane-scission events that are known to be facilitated by the of cytokinesis is driven by the strictly regulated contraction of an ESCRT machinery – MVB formation and retroviral budding actomyosin ring around the equator of the cell. The position of the (Fig. 1). This analogy and the functional parallels between these contractile ring and the initiation of contraction are determined by ESCRT-mediated processes have shed light on the cellular signals from the mitotic-spindle microtubules at the spindle midzone mechanisms that facilitate abscission. (the region of microtubule overlap), and might also be influenced by In the same way that many enveloped viruses recruit the ESCRT signals from the aster microtubules at the poles of the cell (Barr and machinery to mediate scission of the membranous tether between Gruneberg, 2007; Bringmann and Hyman, 2005; Eggert et al., 2006; virion and host cell, Tsg101 and ALIX are recruited to the midbody Glotzer, 2005). The accumulation of actin and myosin-II filaments, to mediate the release of daughter cell from mother cell (Carlton together with numerous regulatory proteins, occurs at right angles to and Martin-Serrano, 2007; Morita et al., 2007b). Cep55 (centrosome the spindle midzone, which ensures the equal distribution of genetic protein 55kDa), a midbody component that is crucial for abscission material, organelles and cytoplasm to each progeny cell. When the (Fabbro et al., 2005; Martinez-Garay et al., 2006; Zhao et al., 2006), Journal of Cell Science ECSRTs in abscission and viral release 2173 binds to both Tsg101 and ALIX, and the disruption of this by experiments in which cells were engineered to express ALIX interaction results in cytokinesis failure. It is important to note that mutants that cannot bind to ESCRT-III. In these cells, aberrant the interaction of Tsg101 and ALIX with Cep55 is not required for midbodies formed, in which tubulin staining was visible across the viral budding (Carlton and Martin-Serrano, 2007; Morita et al., central region of interdigitating microtubules. This is in contrast to 2007b), suggesting that Cep55 and viral Gag proteins play cells expressing wild-type ALIX, in which a dense accumulation functionally equivalent roles in recruiting the ESCRT machinery of protein (presumably ESCRT-III) prevented complete tubulin to facilitate topologically equivalent membrane-scission events at staining and a characteristic gap at the midbody was observed different cellular locations. (Carlton et al., 2008). In summary, these observations suggest an Importantly, it is probable that other components of the ESCRT organised spatial and temporal recruitment of ESCRT proteins to machinery are also required for abscission, because the interaction the midbody during cytokinesis. of Tsg101 with VPS28 (a component of ESCRT-I) is also required Initial mapping studies showed that Cep55 binds to a conserved for the completion of cytokinesis (Carlton and Martin-Serrano, peptide at the proline-rich region (PRR) of ALIX (Carlton et al., 2007), and interactions between Tsg101 and other proteins that are 2008; Morita et al., 2007b). However, the Cep55-binding peptide involved in cytokinesis – in particular CD2AP, ROCK1 and IQGAP in ALIX is not found in Drosophila, suggesting that different – have also been shown (Morita et al., 2007b). The involvement mechanisms to recruit the ESCRT machinery during abscission of the core ESCRT machinery in cytokinesis was initially suggested might exist in other organisms. Biochemical data also indicate by the dominant-negative effect observed when catalytically inactive that Tsg101 and ALIX compete for binding to the ESCRT- and VPS4 or ESCRT-III subunits were overexpressed (Carlton and ALIX-binding region (EABR) of Cep55, and the crystal structure Martin-Serrano, 2007; Dukes et al., 2008; Morita et al., 2007b). of the ALIX-Cep55 complex shows that the EABR forms a Importantly, direct evidence for ESCRT-III function in abscission dimeric noncanonical coiled coil that cannot simultaneously bind is provided by the finding that the ESCRT-III-binding site in ALIX to Tsg101. On the basis of these observations, a model has been has an essential role in this process (Carlton et al., 2008; Morita proposed in which multiple Cep55 dimers are required for et al., 2007b). ESCRT recruitment to the midbody (Lee et al., 2008; Wollert In terms of localisation, confocal-microscopy studies with et al., 2009b). immunostaining have uncovered an interesting pattern. On one hand, ESCRT function at the midbody exogenously expressed CHMP2A, CHMP4A, CHMP5, hIST1 and Although the ESCRT proteins appear to be recruited for membrane- endogenous VPS4 were found at distinct rings on both sides of the midbody structure (Agromayor et al., 2009; Bajorek et al., 2009; scission events, it is formally possible that, rather than having a Morita et al., 2007b). By contrast, fluorescently tagged forms of direct role in cytokinesis, an endosomal sorting function could be ALIX and Tsg101 were found at the central region of the midbody the required activity for abscission (Prekeris and Gould, 2008). (Carlton and Martin-Serrano, 2007), suggesting that different However, this view is countered by recent discoveries in Archaea, components of the ESCRT machinery might localise at which is a separate domain of life that lacks endomembrane different regions of the midbody. However, it is known that protein structures and is separated from humans by two-billion years of density at the central region of the midbody masks epitopes, and evolution.

A model for ESCRT-mediated abscission. Golgi- and endosome-derived vesicles are transported to the midbody along microtubules, a process that is regulated by Rab GTPases. Association with the exocyst-tethering complex at the midbody may constrain the site of vesicle fusion. The v-SNARE endobrevin (also known as VAMP8) and the plasma-membrane-associated t-SNARE syntaxin-2 mediate vesicle fusion with the plasma membrane. Cep55 recruits ALIX and Tsg101 to the midbody for subsequent ESCRT-III assembly. Tsg101 can interact with other proteins that are involved in cytokinesis – in particular CD2AP, ROCK1 and IQGAP. The coordinated recruitment of VPS4 and spastin, along with other regulatory proteins (hIST1 and CHMP1B), to the midbody may complete abscission by severing microtubules and mediating membrane fusion of the remaining tether via ESCRT-III disassembly (arrows).

In spite of recent progress division represents an ancestral role for these proteins, and the in this area, the most pressing question of how exactly membrane endosomal sorting function of ESCRTs in mammalian cells has scission is achieved is still unanswered. At present, we do not know evolved subsequently. This supports the hypothesis that ESCRT whether the ESCRT proteins themselves mediate this membrane- proteins play an essential role in abscission, which is independent scission event, or whether their role is to recruit additional proteins of endosomal sorting. This idea is also supported by the phenotypes to do the job. observed in hIST1-depleted cells, which are defective for abscission, An additional layer of complexity in the ESCRT machinery that although other ESCRT functions (such as the sorting of EGFR to is poorly understood is the gene expansion in humans compared MVBs and HIV-1 budding) are unaltered (Agromayor et al., 2009; with yeast. For example, there are three isoforms of CHMP4 and Bajorek et al., 2009). two isoforms of VPS4 in humans, whereas yeast only have one Midbody abscission by the ESCRT machinery presents a problem form of each protein. More strikingly, the combination of one form that needs to be resolved in terms of the diameter of the tether: the of Tsg101, four isoforms of VPS37 (A, B, C and D), two of VPS28 membranous tethers that restrain MVB vesicles and viral particles (I and II) and two of MVB12 (A and B), gives a possible 16 are thought to have a diameter in the region of 50-100 nm, whereas different ESCRT-I complexes in humans. Thus, it will be important the midbody ring structure between two daughter cells is to determine whether different subsets of ESCRT proteins are significantly larger, at around 1.5-2.0 μm (Gromley et al., 2005). preferentially required during endosomal sorting, retroviral However, there are several models that could explain the ‘thinning’ replication and cytokinesis. Preliminary evidence that supports this of the midbody to a point at which the ESCRT machinery could idea includes functional studies that compared the different act directly. One possibility is that ESCRT proteins play a direct isoforms of CHMP4; these show that the overexpression role in midbody thinning, as it has been suggested that membrane of YFP-CHMP4C preferentially inhibits cytokinesis, whereas expulsion via budding vesicles may also be required to resolve the YFP-CHMP4B is the most potent inhibitor of HIV-1 release tether (Dubreuil et al., 2007). Alternatively, the fusion of secretory (Carlton et al., 2008). These results suggest that different isoforms vesicles with the plasma membrane might give rise to a tether within of ESCRT-III might have evolved to mediate different scission the midbody on which the ESCRT machinery could act (Fig. 3). events. However, more work is needed to confirm this hypothesis Interestingly, a role for spastin, a microtubule-severing enzyme, has and to fully understand the functional differences within this and also recently been implicated in ESCRT-mediated membrane other genes that have been expanded in the human ESCRT scission. Spastin (60-kDa isoform) interacts with the ESCRT-III machinery. It will also be interesting to determine the regulation protein CHMP1B (Reid et al., 2005) and localises to the midbody and function of these multiple isoforms and to investigate the in an MIT-domain- and CHMP1B-dependent manner. Depletion of constellation of poorly characterised proteins that bind to spastin by siRNA, or the expression of CHMP1B non-binding ESCRT-III. mutants, causes cytokinetic failures, consistent with a role in In conclusion, it is clear that, in addition to its role in viral abscission (Connell et al., 2009; Yang et al., 2008). One protein infection, the ESCRT machinery is involved in several other that could help coordinate the mechanical activities of VPS4 with cellular processes. Because malfunctions of these proteins have been those of spastin is hIst1, which binds to both ATPases (Agromayor implicated in diverse disease pathologies, developments in the et al., 2009).

ESCRT proteins are part of the endosomal cell during cytokinesis. In this Commentary, we describe recent trafficking system and play a crucial role in the biogenesis of advances in the understanding of ESCRT proteins and how they multivesicular bodies by functioning in the formation of vesicles act to mediate these diverse processes. that bud away from the cytoplasm. Subsequently, a surprising This article is part of a Minifocus on the ESCRT machinery. For role for ESCRT proteins was defined in the budding step of further reading, please see related articles: ‘The ESCRT machinery at some enveloped retroviruses, including HIV-1.

Cell Sci. 122, 2179-2183). host cell and the budding virus particle. Remarkably, it has recently been described that ESCRT proteins also have a role Key words: Abscission, Cytokinesis, ESCRT, HIV-1, L-domain, in the topologically equivalent process of cell division. In the Retroviral assembly same way that viral particles recruit the ESCRT proteins to Introduction From yeast to humans – assembly and function of the The endosomal sorting complex required for transport (ESCRT) ESCRT machinery proteins were initially identified in Saccharomyces cerevisiae as The ESCRT proteins make up four protein complexes termed class E vacuolar protein sorting (Vps) gene products (Katzmann ESCRT-0, ESCRT-I, ESCRT-II and ESCRT-III. This machinery et al., 2002; Raymond et al., 1992). Since then, the majority of assembles on the endosomal membrane and, through a series of work aimed at characterising these proteins has focused on ubiquitin-interacting elements, identifies ubiquitin-labelled receptors, determining their function in the sorting and degradation of which are destined for lysosomal degradation. Sorting of these ubiquitylated membrane receptors in the late endosome-lysosome receptors into the intralumenal vesicles (ILVs) of MVBs allows pathway. Several models have been proposed to explain the subsequent exposure to lysosomal acidic hydrolases when the MVBs association of the different complexes and the mechanics of fuse with the lysosome. Studies in yeast suggest that the ESCRTs are membrane deformation and vesicle formation (Hurley and Emr, sequentially recruited to the endosomal membrane through various 2006; Nickerson et al., 2007). Surprisingly, work carried out more protein and lipid interactions (Burd and Emr, 1998; Gill et al., 2007b; recently has revealed additional functions of the ESCRT proteins Katzmann et al., 2003; Stahelin et al., 2002). Recent structural studies in viral budding and cytokinesis. Now, the question to address is: have provided a better understanding of how ESCRT-I and ESCRT-II what aspects of ESCRT function are required for these processes? are assembled, and of their interactions with ubiquitylated cargo (Gill It is not known whether viral budding requires the same membrane et al., 2007a; Kostelansky et al., 2007; Kostelansky et al., 2006; Pineda- deformation activity as is involved in the biogenesis of Molina et al., 2006; Teo et al., 2006; Teo et al., 2004a; Teo et al., multivesicular bodies (MVBs), or whether this function is provided 2004b), areas that have been expertly reviewed (Hurley and Emr, 2006; by the oligomerisation of the membrane-associated viral Gag Williams and Urbe, 2007). Finally, ESCRT-III recruits the AAA- proteins (Gottlinger, 2001). Likewise, during cytokinesis, the ATPase Vps4, a key enzyme that is required for ESCRT function and daughter cell is formed by massive membrane remodelling, disassembly. Although ESCRT proteins and the protein-protein involving the contraction of an actomyosin ring around the cell interactions of the ESCRT pathway are remarkably conserved from perimeter, rather than the ‘budding’ of a nascent cell from the yeast to humans (Bowers et al., 2004; Martin-Serrano et al., 2003b; plasma membrane. Despite differences in the processes of MVB von Schwedler et al., 2003), some differences are evident. For biogenesis, viral-particle release and cytokinesis, it is clear that example, ESCRT-II is required for MVB biogenesis in yeast, but its they have in common the requirement for a membrane-scission functional significance in humans is still under debate (Bowers et al., event for the release of the progeny vesicle, virion or daughter 2006; Langelier et al., 2006; Malerod et al., 2007). cell (Fig. 1). Here, we explore the evidence supporting the role of ESCRT proteins in membrane scission and the possibility that The core ESCRT machinery different ESCRT subunits are required for differential ESCRT ESCRT-III is thought to provide the core activities of membrane functions. deformation and scission, and is required for all known ESCRT Journal of Cell Science 2168 Journal of Cell Science 122 (13) found in CHMP3 (Whitley et al., 2003) and CHMP4 (Lin et al., 2005) and a myristyl group in CHMP6 (Yorikawa et al., 2005). However, the C-terminal domains are free to recruit additional ESCRT-binding partners. CHMP proteins bind to microtubule- interaction and trafficking (MIT)-domain-containing proteins, such as VPS4 and the activator protein LIP5, via a MIT-interaction motif (MIM) at their C-termini (Agromayor and Martin-Serrano, 2006; Azmi et al., 2008; Nickerson et al., 2006; Obita et al., 2007; Scott et al., 2005b; Shim et al., 2008; Stuchell-Brereton et al., 2007; HIV-1 budding Tsang et al., 2006; Xiao et al., 2008). The connection between the VPS4-LIP5 complex and the CHMP4-CHMP6 subcomplex occurs via a slightly different mechanism, as these CHMP proteins do not Nucleus ILV contain the conventional MIM. Instead, Kieffer et al. have reported Abscission an alternative interaction that occurs between CHMP6 and the MIT MVB biogenesis domain of VPS4 through a region of CHMP6 that they term an ‘MIM2 element’ (Kieffer et al., 2008). Functional MIM2 elements have also been identified in CHMP4 and the regulatory protein IST homolog (hIST1) (described below) (Bajorek et al., 2009). Fig. 1. A diagram illustrating topologically equivalent ‘budding’ events for VPS4 enzymes form oligomeric complexes on endosomal which the ESCRT machinery is required. The formation of intralumenal membranes (Babst et al., 1998; Scott et al., 2005a); these vesicles (ILVs) within multivesicular bodies (MVBs), viral budding and abscission during cytokinesis all require the resolution of a cytoplasm-filled complexes are comprised of two hexameric (Yu et al., 2008) or membranous tether. heptameric (Hartmann et al., 2008) rings. In yeast, Vta1 (human LIP5) stimulates the ATPase activity of Vps4 (Azmi et al., 2006; Lottridge et al., 2006) and promotes the assembly of the double functions in yeast and humans. Some of the pioneering work in this ring structure (Xiao et al., 2008). VPS4 activity is also regulated field suggested that ESCRT-III assembles as an insoluble lattice on by several proteins, including ESCRT-III itself (Azmi et al., 2008) the endosomal membrane and mediates membrane deformation and the newly identified ESCRT-related protein Ist1 (Dimaano through a mechanism involving Vps4. Deletion of ESCRT-III et al., 2008; Rue et al., 2008). Ist1 forms a subcomplex with Did2 components, or the expression of catalytically inactive Vps4 (human CHMP1A or CHMP1B) and, in humans, hIST1 interacts mutants, prevents the normal degradation of endosomal cargo and with LIP5, VPS4 and other MIT-domain-containing proteins via causes the accumulation of aberrant endosomes (Babst et al., 2002; two MIMs located at the extreme C-terminus (Agromayor et al., Babst et al., 1997; Babst et al., 1998; Bishop and Woodman, 2000). 2009; Bajorek et al., 2009). Studies in yeast initially suggested A function in membrane scission is also suggested by the finding that the Ist1-Did2 complex is a positive modulator of Vps4 through that these large aberrant endosomes lack internal vesicles (Babst the stabilisation of its interaction with ESCRT-III at the endosomal et al., 1997; Odorizzi et al., 1998). membrane (Rue et al., 2008). Additionally, negative regulation of Human ESCRT-III consists of charged MVB protein (CHMP) Vps4 by Ist1 in the cytoplasm has also been proposed (Dimaano subunits, some of which have evolved multiple isoforms (see et al., 2008). In summary, ESCRT-III proteins form an insoluble Table 1). Studies in yeast indicate that these proteins are arranged lattice on the endosomal membrane via N-terminal interactions, into two subcomplexes, one that contains CHMP4A, CHMP4B or while their C-terminal domains act to recruit the AAA-ATPase CHMP4C (yeast Snf7; yeast nomenclature will hereafter be shown VPS4 and other regulatory proteins that are required for function. in parentheses unless otherwise indicated) and CHMP6 (Vps20), and another that consists of CHMP2A or CHMP2B (Vps2) and A membrane-deformation and -scission machinery CHMP3 (Vps24) (Babst et al., 2002). CHMP1A, CHMP1B (Vps46, The formation of ILVs within MVBs during cargo sorting requires Did2) and CHMP5 (Vps60) play important accessory and regulatory the coordinated deformation of the endosomal membrane to form roles in ESCRT function (Azmi et al., 2008; Lottridge et al., 2006; a nascent vesicle, followed by a membrane-scission event that Nickerson et al., 2006). The recently identified human protein releases the ILV into the MVB. The idea that ESCRT-III proteins CHMP7 (of which there is no known yeast homolog) interacts with were involved in membrane deformation was initially suggested CHMP4 proteins (Horii et al., 2006), although further investigations by the formation of filamentous polymers on the plasma are required to determine its function. membrane by overexpressed CHMP4A and CHMP4B: The CHMP proteins are similar in form to one another, each with surprisingly, the filaments formed circular arrays that were capable an N-terminal basic region and a C-terminal acidic region. Structural of deforming the membrane (Hanson et al., 2008). In agreement studies of CHMP3 suggest that CHMP proteins have an with these observations, Snf7 (human CHMP4) and Vps24 (human autoinhibitory activity whereby the uncomplexed protein folds into CHMP3) form helical polymers in vitro that can be disassembled a closed conformation through the attractive charges. However, by Vps4 in the presence of ATP. A role for Vps4 in the assembly following activation, the protein conformation may ‘open’, enabling of the ESCRT-III lattice is also suggested by the finding that, in CHMP proteins to associate with each other, forming a lattice on the the presence of ADP, Vps4 causes the chimeric filaments to bundle membrane (Lata et al., 2008a; Muziol et al., 2006; Shim et al., 2007; into extensive cables (Ghazi-Tabatabai et al., 2008). Recent work Zamborlini et al., 2006). It has been proposed that the N-terminal by Scott Emr and colleagues has also provided genetic and basic region associates with the membrane via electrostatic charges biochemical evidence that supports the idea that individual with the lipid bilayer (Muziol et al., 2006), although additional ESCRT-III subunits have specific functions and are recruited in anchorage may be provided by phosphoinositide-binding domains an ordered manner. Specifically, binding of Vps20 (human Journal of Cell Science ECSRTs in abscission and viral release 2169 CHMP6) to the membrane initiates the oligomerisation of Snf7 Vertical cross-section Horizontal cross-section subunits to form filaments at the MVBs. Subsequently, these filaments could encircle and concentrate endosomal cargo into defined regions of membrane. The oligomerisation reaction would then be terminated by the binding of the Vps24-Vps2 (human CHMP3-CHMP2) subcomplex, which also recruits Vps4 (Saksena et al., 2009; Teis et al., 2008). Plasma membrane A model has also been proposed for ESCRT disassembly: it has been suggested that individual subunits are ‘pumped’ through the central pore of the VPS4 complex into the cytoplasm (Scott et al., 2005a; Stuchell-Brereton et al., 2007; Yu et al., 2008). In line with the mechanism of function for spastin, another MIT-domain- containing AAA-ATPase (Roll-Mecak and Vale, 2008; White et al., 2007), the ESCRT-III subunits could be moved to binding sites within the central pore of the AAA-ATPase ring (Gonciarz et al., 2008; Shim et al., 2008), before being ‘pulled’ through via conformational changes induced during ATP binding and hydrolysis. It has been suggested that removing the subunits in this fashion could result in a constricting force that promotes vesicle extrusion and neck closure (Kieffer et al., 2008). A direct role for ESCRT-III in membrane scission has recently been demonstrated by reconstituting this activity using an in vitro Key system of MVB formation (Wollert et al., 2009a), and the ESCRT-III VPS4 subunit monomer VPS4 mechanistic details of this reaction have also started to be complex MIM MIT domain elucidated. Recent in vitro experiments conducted with bound to LIP5 Basic domain LIP5 dimer C-terminally truncated CHMP2A (CHMP2AΔCTD) and CHMP3 have demonstrated that these proteins can oligomerise and assemble into long tubular structures. Intriguingly, the Fig. 2. A model for ESCRT-III–VPS4-mediated membrane scission. Following coexpression of CHMP2AΔCTD, CHMP3 and VPS4 results in recruitment by upstream ESCRT complexes, ESCRT-III assembles on the the formation of tubular structures in which VPS4 is on the inside membrane. N-terminal basic domains (blue) of ESCRT-III subunits attach to of the tube, whereas the membrane-interaction sites of the CHMP the membrane, whereas the flexibly linked C-terminal MIMs (MIT-interaction motifs; red) project away from the membrane. The AAA-ATPase VPS4 proteins are on the outside. Importantly, the tubular arrays of assembles into a double-ring complex and interacts with ESCRT-III subunits ESCRT proteins had a diameter in the range of that seen for MVB- via N-terminal MIT (microtubule interaction and trafficking) domains vesicle and virus-particle stalks, suggesting that these tubular (yellow). The regulatory protein LIP5 (purple) forms a dimer and associates structures might be important for membrane scission. Interestingly, with the VPS4 complex (note that the MIT domains of LIP5 have been omitted for clarity). Narrowing of the membrane tube might be concurrent the addition of ATP caused the disassembly of the tubes (Lata with VPS4-mediated disassembly of the ESCRT-III lattice. It is possible that et al., 2008b). It is possible that extraction of ESCRT-III subunits subunit removal via mechanical extraction through the VPS4 complex could through a VPS4 ring could pull the membrane together, leading reduce the diameter of the tube and lead to constriction. Top two panels show to the resolution of the membrane stalk. Thus, in a similar way vertical and horizontal cross-sections of a wide membrane tube. The bottom that the enzyme dynamin forms a ring around inwardly budding two panels illustrate cross-sections of the thinner tube formed following the removal of the ESCRT-III lattice from the wider tube. vesicles, perhaps VPS4 – the only known energy-expending protein of the ESCRT pathway – acts on the internal membrane of an outwardly budding vesicle (Fig. 2). It should be noted that the tubular structures described by Lata et al. differ significantly discovery was preceded by the finding that the release of HIV-1 from the helical filaments reported by Ghazi-Tabatabai et al., although the reason for this difference is unclear (Lata particles could be blocked by the mutation of four amino acids TAP ) in the p6 protein of the HIV-1 Gag polyprotein (Gottlinger et al., 2008b; Ghazi-Tabatabai et al., 2008). One intriguing (P 7 10 possibility that might explain these conflicting results is that the et al., 1991; Huang et al., 1995). Mutation of the PTAP motif or two conformations might represent sequential stages of the truncation of the p6 protein resulted in fully formed viral particles ESCRT-III oligomeric structures that are required for sorting and that remained attached to the plasma membrane of the host cell by membrane-scission events. However, it is important to take into a membranous tether. Several other enveloped viruses from the account that these structures do not comprise all four ESCRT-III filovirus and rhabdovirus families also appear to contain short proteins, and recent evidence has shown that at least Snf7, peptide motifs that are essential for virus release at a late stage of Vps24 and Vps20 are required for MVB formation (Wollert et al., assembly and budding (Craven et al., 1999; Harty et al., 2000; Harty 2009a). et al., 1999). The term late domain (L-domain) was thus coined to describe these motifs. ESCRTs and virus-particle release The idea that viral L-domains were recruiting a host cell factor(s) ESCRTs and virus budding was supported by several findings. First, L-domains can function A short time after the ESCRT ‘budding’ machinery was initially in a positionally independent manner within viral Gag proteins discovered, a surprising new role for these proteins was defined in (Parent et al., 1995). Second, L-domains are interchangeable the release of enveloped retroviruses from the host cell. This between different viral Gag proteins (Parent et al., 1995; Yuan et al., Journal of Cell Science 2170 Journal of Cell Science 122 (13) Journal of Cell Science Table 1.

ECSRTs in abscission and viral release 2171 2000) and hence are not virus specific. Additionally, a number of studies have also implicated an aspect of the ubiquitylation machinery in viral budding: proteasome inhibitors were shown to cause an L-domain-defective phenotype in cells infected with HIV-1 or Rous sarcoma virus, or that were expressing Simian ) Gag (Patnaik et al., 2000; immunodeficiency virus type (SIV mac Schubert et al., 2000; Strack et al., 2000). In 2001, the search for the HIV-1 ‘budding factor’ ended when the interaction between the PTAP motif of HIV-1 p6 and the ESCRT-I protein Tsg101 was shown, with the demonstration that Tsg101 recruits the entire ESCRT machinery to mediate virus budding (Demirov et al., 2002; Garrus et al., 2001; Martin-Serrano et al., 2001; VerPlank et al., 2001). This finding sparked a flood of interest in the field and, since then, several other viruses, including those from the arenavirus and paramyxovirus families, have also been found to contain L-domains (Bieniasz, 2006; Perez et al., 2003; Schmitt et al., 2005). Interestingly, the requirement of a functional ESCRT pathway for particle release is not restricted to RNA viruses. Recent work has demonstrated that the enveloped DNA viruses hepatitis B and herpes simplex virus type 1 also require the ESCRT machinery, because the expression of dominant-negative forms of CHMP3, CHMP4B and CHMP4C or of catalytically inactive VPS4 proteins inhibits virus release (Crump et al., 2007; Lambert et al., 2007; Watanabe et al., 2007). Although PTAP (and PSAP) L-domains recruit the ESCRT machinery via Tsg101, other L-domains access the complexes L L-domains bind the adaptor through different means. LYPx protein ALIX, which in turn binds and recruits the ESCRT machinery via the CHMP4 proteins (Fisher et al., 2007; Martin- Serrano et al., 2003b; McCullough et al., 2008; Strack et al., 2003; Usami et al., 2007; von Schwedler et al., 2003; Zhai et al., 2008). The PPxY motif enlists members of the NEDD4 family of ubiquitin ligases through interactions with WW domains (Bouamr et al., 2003; Garnier et al., 1996; Harty et al., 2000; Harty et al., 1999; Kikonyogo et al., 2001; Martin-Serrano et al., 2005; Yasuda et al., 2002), although the precise link between the NEDD4-like proteins and the ESCRT machinery is still unknown (Martin-Serrano, 2007). Finally, a fourth L-domain encoded by the FPIV amino acid motif has been identified in the matrix protein of the paramyxovirus simian virus 5, although the mechanism of ESCRT recruitment by this L-domain is currently unknown (Schmitt et al., 2005). Interestingly, many of the viruses studied contain more than one type of L-domain motif (Bouamr et al., 2003; Gottwein et al., 2003; Segura-Morales et al., 2005). For example, HIV-1 contains binding sites for Tsg101 and ALIX (Strack et al., 2003), and, although it lacks a PPxY motif, the surprising influence of NEDD4L (also known as Nedd4-2s) ubiquitin-ligase activity on HIV-1 budding has recently been shown (Chung et al., 2008; Usami et al., 2008). An additional ALIX-binding site has also been identified in the nucleocapsid protein of HIV-1 Gag; this site might play an auxiliary role in virus release (Popov et al., 2008). It is well established that the interaction between the PTAP L-domain motif and Tsg101 is the preferential means of HIV-1 release in HEK293T cells; however, mutation of the PTAP motif renders the virus reliant on its LYPx motif (Fisher et al., 2007; Usami et al., 2007), and, independently, on a region in the C-terminal domain of capsid (CP) and the SP1 region of the Gag polyprotein, for NEDD4L activity (Chung et al., 2008; Usami et al., 2008). The evolution of ‘back-up’ L-domains illustrates the crucial role of ESCRT proteins and ESCRT-associated cofactors in viral release. However, it is not completely clear why viruses have evolved multiple L-domains. One possibility could be Journal of Cell Science Table 1.

Subsequent failure. Observations of cells infected with PPPY L-domain mutants recruitment to the midbody of endobrevin (a v-SNARE protein; of human T-cell leukaemia virus type 1 and Mason-Pfizer monkey also known as VAMP8) and syntaxin-2 (a t-SNARE protein) by virus by electron microscopy revealed an early-budding phenotype; components of the midbody ring facilitates membrane-fusion events Gag protein accumulated underneath the plasma membrane, but little that are crucial for abscission (Gromley et al., 2005; Low et al., or no assembled virus particles were found attached to the cell 2003). Moreover, important regulators of the SNAREs, such as the surface by membranous tethers (Bouamr et al., 2003; Gottwein et al., Rab family of GTPases, have also been implicated in the terminal 2003; Le Blanc et al., 2002). A different phenotype was seen on stages of cytokinesis. Specifically, endocytic Rab proteins (Rab35, deletion of the p12 L-domain-containing protein or PPPY motif of Rab11 and, in certain cells, Rab8) are also key regulators of vesicle murine leukaemia virus; in this viral context, morphologically traffic during the final stages of cell division (Fielding et al., 2005; tubular virions were observed, as well as viral particles that were Kouranti et al., 2006; Pohl and Jentsch, 2008; Wilson et al., 2005; attached to each other in chains (Yuan et al., 2000).

The ESCRT localisation at the midbody depletion of MVB12A or MVB12B resulted in the accumulation Previous models of cytokinesis proposed that the resolution of the of amorphous, aberrant viral particles, although particle release was not inhibited. However, the overexpression of these proteins did membranous tether between two cells could be achieved by reduce viral budding, and this was dependent on the ability of the membrane-fusion events that are mediated by SNAREs. According proteins to bind Tsg101 and on their phosphorylation (Morita et al., to these models, the combination of membrane addition by vesicle 2007a). Altogether, these observations suggest that, in addition to fusion to the plasma membrane, and the influx and fusion of a function in membrane scission, some viruses might also require endocytic and secretory vesicles to the midbody region (effectively additional aspects of the ESCRT machinery for assembly and/or making ‘holes’ in the tether) was thought to be sufficient to mediate maturation. membrane scission (Gromley et al., 2005). A key activity in this model is the homotypic fusion of vesicles at the midbody in order ESCRTs and daughter-cell release to facilitate the final event in abscission. However, experimental Cytokinesis, the process of cytoplasmic division, is the final stage of evidence supporting homotypic fusion during abscission has been the cell cycle following mitosis. It is at this final stage that one cell elusive. Crucially, the topology of the membrane-scission event that becomes two. Remarkably, it now seems that the ESCRT machinery is required for abscission is identical to the topology of the is required for a terminal step in this process. In animal cells, the act membrane-scission events that are known to be facilitated by the of cytokinesis is driven by the strictly regulated contraction of an ESCRT machinery – MVB formation and retroviral budding actomyosin ring around the equator of the cell. The position of the (Fig. 1). This analogy and the functional parallels between these contractile ring and the initiation of contraction are determined by ESCRT-mediated processes have shed light on the cellular signals from the mitotic-spindle microtubules at the spindle midzone mechanisms that facilitate abscission. (the region of microtubule overlap), and might also be influenced by In the same way that many enveloped viruses recruit the ESCRT signals from the aster microtubules at the poles of the cell (Barr and machinery to mediate scission of the membranous tether between Gruneberg, 2007; Bringmann and Hyman, 2005; Eggert et al., 2006; virion and host cell, Tsg101 and ALIX are recruited to the midbody Glotzer, 2005). The accumulation of actin and myosin-II filaments, to mediate the release of daughter cell from mother cell (Carlton together with numerous regulatory proteins, occurs at right angles to and Martin-Serrano, 2007; Morita et al., 2007b). Cep55 (centrosome the spindle midzone, which ensures the equal distribution of genetic protein 55kDa), a midbody component that is crucial for abscission material, organelles and cytoplasm to each progeny cell. When the (Fabbro et al., 2005; Martinez-Garay et al., 2006; Zhao et al., 2006), Journal of Cell Science ECSRTs in abscission and viral release 2173 binds to both Tsg101 and ALIX, and the disruption of this by experiments in which cells were engineered to express ALIX interaction results in cytokinesis failure. It is important to note that mutants that cannot bind to ESCRT-III. In these cells, aberrant the interaction of Tsg101 and ALIX with Cep55 is not required for midbodies formed, in which tubulin staining was visible across the viral budding (Carlton and Martin-Serrano, 2007; Morita et al., central region of interdigitating microtubules. This is in contrast to 2007b), suggesting that Cep55 and viral Gag proteins play cells expressing wild-type ALIX, in which a dense accumulation functionally equivalent roles in recruiting the ESCRT machinery of protein (presumably ESCRT-III) prevented complete tubulin to facilitate topologically equivalent membrane-scission events at staining and a characteristic gap at the midbody was observed different cellular locations. (Carlton et al., 2008). In summary, these observations suggest an Importantly, it is probable that other components of the ESCRT organised spatial and temporal recruitment of ESCRT proteins to machinery are also required for abscission, because the interaction the midbody during cytokinesis. of Tsg101 with VPS28 (a component of ESCRT-I) is also required Initial mapping studies showed that Cep55 binds to a conserved for the completion of cytokinesis (Carlton and Martin-Serrano, peptide at the proline-rich region (PRR) of ALIX (Carlton et al., 2007), and interactions between Tsg101 and other proteins that are 2008; Morita et al., 2007b). However, the Cep55-binding peptide involved in cytokinesis – in particular CD2AP, ROCK1 and IQGAP in ALIX is not found in Drosophila, suggesting that different – have also been shown (Morita et al., 2007b). The involvement mechanisms to recruit the ESCRT machinery during abscission of the core ESCRT machinery in cytokinesis was initially suggested might exist in other organisms. Biochemical data also indicate by the dominant-negative effect observed when catalytically inactive that Tsg101 and ALIX compete for binding to the ESCRT- and VPS4 or ESCRT-III subunits were overexpressed (Carlton and ALIX-binding region (EABR) of Cep55, and the crystal structure Martin-Serrano, 2007; Dukes et al., 2008; Morita et al., 2007b). of the ALIX-Cep55 complex shows that the EABR forms a Importantly, direct evidence for ESCRT-III function in abscission dimeric noncanonical coiled coil that cannot simultaneously bind is provided by the finding that the ESCRT-III-binding site in ALIX to Tsg101. On the basis of these observations, a model has been has an essential role in this process (Carlton et al., 2008; Morita proposed in which multiple Cep55 dimers are required for et al., 2007b). ESCRT recruitment to the midbody (Lee et al., 2008; Wollert In terms of localisation, confocal-microscopy studies with et al., 2009b). immunostaining have uncovered an interesting pattern. On one hand, ESCRT function at the midbody exogenously expressed CHMP2A, CHMP4A, CHMP5, hIST1 and Although the ESCRT proteins appear to be recruited for membrane- endogenous VPS4 were found at distinct rings on both sides of the midbody structure (Agromayor et al., 2009; Bajorek et al., 2009; scission events, it is formally possible that, rather than having a Morita et al., 2007b). By contrast, fluorescently tagged forms of direct role in cytokinesis, an endosomal sorting function could be ALIX and Tsg101 were found at the central region of the midbody the required activity for abscission (Prekeris and Gould, 2008).

However, it is known that protein structures and is separated from humans by two-billion years of density at the central region of the midbody masks epitopes, and evolution.

A model for ESCRT-mediated abscission. Golgi- and endosome-derived vesicles are transported to the midbody along microtubules, a process that is regulated by Rab GTPases. Association with the exocyst-tethering complex at the midbody may constrain the site of vesicle fusion. The v-SNARE endobrevin (also known as VAMP8) and the plasma-membrane-associated t-SNARE syntaxin-2 mediate vesicle fusion with the plasma membrane. Cep55 recruits ALIX and Tsg101 to the midbody for subsequent ESCRT-III assembly. Tsg101 can interact with other proteins that are involved in cytokinesis – in particular CD2AP, ROCK1 and IQGAP. The coordinated recruitment of VPS4 and spastin, along with other regulatory proteins (hIST1 and CHMP1B), to the midbody may complete abscission by severing microtubules and mediating membrane fusion of the remaining tether via ESCRT-III disassembly (arrows).

In spite of recent progress division represents an ancestral role for these proteins, and the in this area, the most pressing question of how exactly membrane endosomal sorting function of ESCRTs in mammalian cells has scission is achieved is still unanswered. At present, we do not know evolved subsequently. This supports the hypothesis that ESCRT whether the ESCRT proteins themselves mediate this membrane- proteins play an essential role in abscission, which is independent scission event, or whether their role is to recruit additional proteins of endosomal sorting. This idea is also supported by the phenotypes to do the job. observed in hIST1-depleted cells, which are defective for abscission, An additional layer of complexity in the ESCRT machinery that although other ESCRT functions (such as the sorting of EGFR to is poorly understood is the gene expansion in humans compared MVBs and HIV-1 budding) are unaltered (Agromayor et al., 2009; with yeast. For example, there are three isoforms of CHMP4 and Bajorek et al., 2009). two isoforms of VPS4 in humans, whereas yeast only have one Midbody abscission by the ESCRT machinery presents a problem form of each protein. More strikingly, the combination of one form that needs to be resolved in terms of the diameter of the tether: the of Tsg101, four isoforms of VPS37 (A, B, C and D), two of VPS28 membranous tethers that restrain MVB vesicles and viral particles (I and II) and two of MVB12 (A and B), gives a possible 16 are thought to have a diameter in the region of 50-100 nm, whereas different ESCRT-I complexes in humans. Thus, it will be important the midbody ring structure between two daughter cells is to determine whether different subsets of ESCRT proteins are significantly larger, at around 1.5-2.0 μm (Gromley et al., 2005). preferentially required during endosomal sorting, retroviral However, there are several models that could explain the ‘thinning’ replication and cytokinesis. Preliminary evidence that supports this of the midbody to a point at which the ESCRT machinery could idea includes functional studies that compared the different act directly. One possibility is that ESCRT proteins play a direct isoforms of CHMP4; these show that the overexpression role in midbody thinning, as it has been suggested that membrane of YFP-CHMP4C preferentially inhibits cytokinesis, whereas expulsion via budding vesicles may also be required to resolve the YFP-CHMP4B is the most potent inhibitor of HIV-1 release tether (Dubreuil et al., 2007). Alternatively, the fusion of secretory (Carlton et al., 2008). These results suggest that different isoforms vesicles with the plasma membrane might give rise to a tether within of ESCRT-III might have evolved to mediate different scission the midbody on which the ESCRT machinery could act (Fig. 3). events. However, more work is needed to confirm this hypothesis Interestingly, a role for spastin, a microtubule-severing enzyme, has and to fully understand the functional differences within this and also recently been implicated in ESCRT-mediated membrane other genes that have been expanded in the human ESCRT scission. Spastin (60-kDa isoform) interacts with the ESCRT-III machinery. It will also be interesting to determine the regulation protein CHMP1B (Reid et al., 2005) and localises to the midbody and function of these multiple isoforms and to investigate the in an MIT-domain- and CHMP1B-dependent manner. Depletion of constellation of poorly characterised proteins that bind to spastin by siRNA, or the expression of CHMP1B non-binding ESCRT-III. mutants, causes cytokinetic failures, consistent with a role in In conclusion, it is clear that, in addition to its role in viral abscission (Connell et al., 2009; Yang et al., 2008). One protein infection, the ESCRT machinery is involved in several other that could help coordinate the mechanical activities of VPS4 with cellular processes. Because malfunctions of these proteins have been those of spastin is hIst1, which binds to both ATPases (Agromayor implicated in diverse disease pathologies, developments in the et al., 2009).
