Abstract

The VPS4 AAA ATPases function both in endosomal vesicle formation and in the budding of many enveloped RNA viruses, including HIV-1. VPS4 proteins act by binding and catalyzing release of the membrane-associated ESCRT-III protein lattice, thereby allowing multiple rounds of protein sorting and vesicle formation. Here, we report the solution structure of the N-terminal VPS4A m icrotubule i nteracting and t ransport (MIT) domain and demonstrate that the VPS4A MIT domain binds the C-terminal half of the ESCRT-III protein, CHMP1B ( K d = 20 ± 13 μM). The MIT domain forms an asymmetric three-helix bundle that resembles the first three helices in a tetratricopeptide repeat (TPR) motif. Unusual interhelical interactions are mediated by a series of conserved aromatic residues that form coiled-coil interactions between the second two helices and also pack against the conserved alanines that interdigitate between the first two helices. Mutational analyses revealed that a conserved leucine residue (Leu-64) on the third helix that would normally bind the fourth helix in an extended TPR is used to bind CHMP1B, raising the possibility that ESCRT-III proteins may bind by completing the TPR motif.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
