Abstract excerpt
The endosomal sorting complex required for transport III (ESCRT-III) is conserved machinery that drives membrane abscission. While ESCRT-III flat spirals are proposed as a primed state, their essential role and regulation remain unclear. Leveraging our newly resolved architecture of yeast Snf7 flat spirals, we engineered a series of Snf7 mutants by inserting polyglycines into the linker between the helices α4 and...
