... The residence time of ESCRT-III during HIV-1 budding is rather short and complemented by a short transient recruitment of several VPS4 complexes [ 90 – 93 ], which most likely induce constriction. Furthermore, live cell imaging suggested that ESCRT-III and VPS4 must dissociate from the budding site to proceed...

... worldwide, and have a significant financial impact on society. Assembly and budding of new viral particles are a complex and multi-step process involving several host and viral factors. Influenza viruses use lipid raft domains in the apical plasma membrane of polarized epithelial cells as sites of budding...

..., viral components including the transmembrane glycoproteins, structural proteins and the viral genome must be targeted to the site of viral budding, where they assemble and are incorporated into a newly formed virion that gains a lipid envelope from a cellular membrane. Recent work has revealed...

..., budding of some enveloped viruses and cytokinesis. ESCRT-III is composed of 11 members in humans, which, except for one, correspond to the six ESCRT-III-like proteins in yeast. At least CHMP (charged multivesicular body protein) 2A and CHMP3 assemble into helical tubular structures that provide a platform...
