Abstract
Endosomal sorting complex required for transport-III (ESCRT-III) participates in essential cellular functions, from cell division to endosome maturation. The remarkable increase of its subunit diversity through evolution may have enabled the acquisition of novel functions. Here, we characterize a novel ESCRT-III copolymer initiated by Vps60. Membrane-bound Vps60 polymers recruit Vps2, Vps24, Did2, and Ist1, as previously shown for Snf7. Snf7- and Vps60-based filaments can coexist on membranes without interacting as their polymerization and recruitment of downstream subunits remain spatially and biochemically separated. In fibroblasts, Vps60/CHMP5 and Snf7/CHMP4 are both recruited during endosomal functions and cytokinesis, but their localization is segregated and their recruitment dynamics are different. Contrary to Snf7/CHMP4, Vps60/CHMP5 is not recruited during nuclear envelope reformation. Taken together, our results show that Vps60 and Snf7 form functionally distinct ESCRT-III polymers, supporting the notion that diversification of ESCRT-III subunits through evolution is linked to the acquisition of new cellular functions.

Abstract
The endosomal sorting complex required for transport (ESCRT)-III mediates budding and abscission of intraluminal vesicles (ILVs) into multivesicular endosomes. To further define the role of the yeast ESCRT-III-associated protein Mos10 (also known as Vps60) in ILV formation, we screened for new interaction partners by using stable isotope labeling of amino acids in cell culture (SILAC) and mass spectrometry. Here, we focused on the newly identified interaction partner Vps68. Our data suggest that Vps68 cooperates with ESCRT-III in ILV formation. The deletion of VPS68 caused a sorting defect similar to that of the SNF7 deletion strain when the cargo load was high. The composition of ESCRT-III was altered, the level of core components was higher and the level of associated proteins was lower in the VPS68 deletion strain. Our data further indicate that at some point in the functional cycle of ESCRT-III, Snf7 could be replaced by Mos10. Vps68 has an unusual membrane topology. Two of its potential membrane helices are amphipathic helices that localize to the luminal side of the endosomal membrane. Based on this membrane topology, we propose that Vps68 and ESCRT-III cooperate in the abscission step by weakening the luminal and cytosolic leaflets of the bilayer at the abscission site.

Abstract
The family of Bro1 proteins coordinates the activity of the Endosomal Sorting Complexes Required for Transport (ESCRTs) to mediate a number of membrane remodeling events. These events culminate in membrane scission catalyzed by ESCRT-III, whose polymerization and disassembly is controlled by the AAA-ATPase, Vps4. Bro1-family members Alix and HD-PTP as well as yeast Bro1 have central “V” domains that noncovalently bind Ub and connect ubiquitinated proteins to ESCRT-driven functions such as the incorporation of ubiquitinated membrane proteins into intralumenal vesicles of multivesicular bodies. Recently, it was discovered that the V domain of yeast Bro1 binds the MIT domain of Vps4 to stimulate its ATPase activity. Here we determine the structural basis for how the V domain of human HD-PTP binds ubiquitin. The HD-PTP V domain also binds the MIT domain of Vps4, and ubiquitin binding to the HD-PTP V domain enhances its ability to stimulate Vps4 ATPase activity. Additionally, we found that V domains of both HD-PTP and Bro1 bind CHMP5 and Vps60, respectively, providing another potential molecular mechanism to alter Vps4 activity. These data support a model whereby contacts between ubiquitin, ESCRT-III, and Vps4 by V domains of the Bro1 family may coordinate late events in ESCRT-driven membrane remodeling events.

Abstract
The endosomal sorting complex required for transport-III (ESCRT-III) catalyzes membrane fission from within membrane necks, a process that is essential for many cellular functions, from cell division to lysosome degradation and autophagy. How it breaks membranes, though, remains unknown. Here, we characterize a sequential polymerization of ESCRT-III subunits that, driven by a recruitment cascade and by continuous subunit-turnover powered by the ATPase Vps4, induces membrane deformation and fission. During this process, the exchange of Vps24 for Did2 induces a tilt in the polymer-membrane interface, which triggers transition from flat spiral polymers to helical filament to drive the formation of membrane protrusions, and ends with the formation of a highly constricted Did2-Ist1 co-polymer that we show is competent to promote fission when bound on the inside of membrane necks. Overall, our results suggest a mechanism of stepwise changes in ESCRT-III filament structure and mechanical properties via exchange of the filament subunits to catalyze ESCRT-III activity.

Abstract
Clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)/Cas9 is an emerging gene-editing technology that is widely used in prokaryotes and eukaryotes. It can realize the specific manipulation of the genome efficiently and accurately. CRISPR/Cas9 coupled λ-Red recombination technology was used to perform genome editing in different genes. For finding an efficient method to edit the virulence genes of enterotoxigenic E. coli (ETEC), the two-plasmid system was used. The coding sequence (CDS) region of the estA, eltI, estB, eltIIc1, and faeG locus were deleted. The coding region of estB was substituted with estA. Gene recombination efficiency ranged from 0 to 77.78% when the length of the homology arm was from 50 to 300 bp. Within this range, the longer the homology arm, the higher the efficiency of genetic recombination. The results showed that this system can target virulence genes located in plasmids and on chromosomes of ETEC strains. A single base mutation was performed by two-step gene fragment replacement. This study lays the foundation for research on virulence factors and genetic engineering of vaccines for ETEC.

Abstract
Autophagy is an evolutionarily conserved process that occurs in yeast, plants, and animals. Despite many years of research, some aspects of autophagy are still not fully explained. This mostly concerns the final stages of autophagy, which have not received as much interest from the scientific community as the initial stages of this process. The final stages of autophagy that we take into consideration in this review include the formation and degradation of the autophagic bodies as well as the efflux of metabolites from the vacuole to the cytoplasm. The autophagic bodies are formed through the fusion of an autophagosome and vacuole during macroautophagy and by vacuolar membrane invagination or protrusion during microautophagy. Then they are rapidly degraded by vacuolar lytic enzymes, and products of the degradation are reused. In this paper, we summarize the available information on the trafficking of the autophagosome towards the vacuole, the fusion of the autophagosome with the vacuole, the formation and decomposition of autophagic bodies inside the vacuole, and the efflux of metabolites to the cytoplasm. Special attention is given to the formation and degradation of autophagic bodies and metabolite salvage in plant cells.

Abstract
Iron is essential for nearly all aerobic organisms. One source of iron in nature is in the form of heme. Due to its critical physiological importance as a cofactor for several enzymes, organisms have evolved various means to secure heme for their needs. In the case of heme prototrophs, these organisms possess a highly conserved eight-step biosynthetic pathway. Another means used by many organisms is to acquire heme from external sources. As opposed to the knowledge of enzymes responsible for heme biosynthesis, the nature of the players and mechanisms involved in the acquisition of exogenous heme is limited. This review focuses on a description of newly discovered proteins that have novel functions in heme assimilation in the model organism Schizosaccharomyces pombe. This tractable model allows the use of the power of genetics to selectively block heme biosynthesis, setting conditions to investigate the mechanisms by which external heme is taken up by the cells. Studies have revealed that S. pombe possesses two independent heme uptake systems that require Shu1 and Str3, respectively. Heme-bound iron is captured by Shu1 at the cell surface, triggering its internalization to the vacuole with the aid of ubiquitinated proteins and the ESCRT machinery. In the case of the plasma membrane transporter Str3, it promotes cellular heme import in cells lacking Shu1. The discovery of these two pathways may contribute to gain novel insights into the mechanisms whereby fungi assimilate heme, which is an essentially biological process for their ability to invade and colonize new niches.

Abstract
Nutrient starvation induces the degradation of specific plasma membrane proteins through the multivesicular body (MVB) sorting pathway and of vacuolar membrane proteins through microautophagy. Both of these processes require the gateway protein Vps27, which recognizes ubiquitinated cargo proteins at phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate-rich membranes as part of a heterodimeric complex coined endosomal sorting complex required for transport 0. The target of rapamycin complex 1 (TORC1), a nutrient-activated central regulator of cell growth, directly phosphorylates Vps27 to antagonize its function in microautophagy, but whether this also serves to restrain MVB sorting at endosomes is still an open question. Here, we show that TORC1 inhibits both the MVB pathway-driven turnover of the plasma membrane-resident high-affinity methionine permease Mup1 and the inositol transporter Itr1 and the microautophagy-dependent degradation of the vacuolar membrane-associated v-ATPase subunit Vph1. Using a Vps277D variant that mimics the TORC1-phosphorylated state of Vps27, we further show that cargo sorting of Vph1 at the vacuolar membrane, but not of Mup1 and Itr1 at endosomes, is sensitive to the TORC1-controlled modifications of Vps27. Thus, TORC1 specifically modulates microautophagy through phosphorylation of Vps27, but controls MVB sorting through alternative mechanisms.
