New component of ESCRT-I regulates endosomal sorting complex assembly.


ABSTRACT: The endosomal sorting complex required for transport (ESCRT) complexes play a critical role in receptor down-regulation and retroviral budding. Although the crystal structures of two ESCRT complexes have been determined, the molecular mechanisms underlying the assembly and regulation of the ESCRT machinery are still poorly understood. We identify a new component of the ESCRT-I complex, multivesicular body sorting factor of 12 kD (Mvb12), and demonstrate that Mvb12 binds to the coiled-coil domain of the ESCRT-I subunit vacuolar protein sorting 23 (Vps23). We show that ESCRT-I adopts an oligomeric state in the cytosol, the formation of which requires the coiled-coil domain of Vps23, as well as Mvb12. Loss of Mvb12 results in the disassembly of the ESCRT-I oligomer and the formation of a stable complex of ESCRT-I and -II in the cytosol. We propose that Mvb12 stabilizes ESCRT-I in an oligomeric, inactive state in the cytosol to ensure that the ordered recruitment and assembly of ESCRT-I and -II is spatially and temporally restricted to the surface of the endosome after activation of the MVB sorting reaction.
