PHYSICAL PROPERTIES
STRUCTURE
motifs/domains
  • C-terminal fragments of all ESCRT-III proteins, including CHMP2A, CHMP1B, VPS24, CHMP4A, CHMP6, and CHMP5, activated VPS4A suggesting that it disassembles ESCRT-III heteropolymers by affecting each component protein
  • HOMOLOGY
    Homologene
    FAMILY
  • SNF7 family
  • chromatin-modifying protein/charged multivesicular body protein (CHMP) family
  • CATEGORY regulatory

    basic FUNCTION
  • required for multivesicular bodies (mvbs) formation and sorting of endosomal cargo proteins into mvbs

    ESCRT-III (CHMP) proteins pathhway
    a component
  • component of the endosomal sorting required for transport complex III (ESCRT-III), at least composed of CHMP1A, CHMP1B, CHMP2A, CHMP2B, CHMP3/VPS24, CHMP4A/SHAX2, CHMP4B/SHAX1, CHMP4C/SHAX3, CHMP5/SNF7DC2 and CHMP6
  • with VPS24, copolymerized in solution, and their membrane targeting was cooperatively enhanced on planar lipid bilayers
  • INTERACTION
    DNA
    RNA
    small molecule
    protein
  • interacting with EIF2B5, NOL4, TTC19
  • binding between VTA1 and ESCRT-III proteins (CHMP1B, CHMP2A, VPS24) that is likely to complement VTA1 previously described ability to regulate VPS4 activity
  • AP1G2 specifically interacts with the ESCRT subunits VPS28 and CHMP2A
  • interactions between CDCA8 and CHMP2A, CHMP4B, CHMP4C, and CHMP6
  • strong interactions of MITD1 with CHMP1B, CHMP2A, and IST1
