SUMMARY PARAGRAPH for SNF7

Most proteins targeted for degradation in the multivesicular body (MVB) pathway are monoubiquitinated, then passed through the series of highly-conserved multisubunit complexes known as ESCRT (Endosomal Sorting Complex Required for Transport). ESCRT I, II, and III are sequentially mobilized to endosomal membranes, where they direct protein sorting and MVB biogenesis, and play a crucial role in retrovirus budding (11).

The formation of ESCRT III - composed of subcomplexes Snf7p-Vps20p and Did4p-Vps24p - is transient and appears to be dependent on ESCRT II (12, 8). Snf7p-Vps20p effects the membrane association of ESCRT III, with Snf7p being required for localization of the Bro1p vacuolar protein sorting factor to endosomes (13, 14). Did4p-Vps24p is required for endosomal localization of the Doa4p ubiquitin hydrolase and the Vps4p AAA-type ATPase. Vps4p is necessary for the dissociation of ESCRT III (8, 2).

snf7 mutants are defective for vacuolar protein sorting, growth on medium containing raffinose plus antimycin A, derepressing transcription of SUC2, and sporulation (1, 15, 16). Null mutants in any of the four genes encoding ESCRT III proteins exhibit growth defects at high temperatures. Individual snf7 and vps20 null mutants also display hypersensitivity to calcium, lithium, and manganese ions, while did4 and vps24 null mutants are hypersensitive to manganese (17).

The four members of the ESCRT III complex are part of a family of small coiled-coil proteins which also includes includes Did2p, Moh1p, Vps60p, Candida albicans Snf7p, and human CHMP1, CHMP1.5, CHMP2 (BC-2, which is a putative breast adenocarcinoma marker), CHMP2.5 (CGI-84), CHMP3 (NEDF), CHMP4a, CHMP4b, CHMP5 (CGI-34), and CHMP6 (18, 2, 19, 20, 8, 21, 22, 23).
