Identification of membrane curvature sensing motifs essential for VPS37A phagophore recruitment and autophagosome closure

Abstract excerpt

VPS37A, an ESCRT-I complex component, is required for recruiting a subset of ESCRT proteins to the phagophore for autophagosome closure. However, the mechanism by which VPS37A is targeted to the phagophore remains obscure. Here, we demonstrate that the VPS37A N-terminal domain exhibits selective interactions with highly curved membranes, mediated by two membrane-interacting motifs within the disordered regions...
