A relay race of ESCRT-III paralogs drives cell division in a hyperthermophilic archaeon by Junfeng Liu, Mickaël Lelek, Yunfeng Yang, Audrey Salles, Christophe Zimmer, Yulong Shen, Mart Krupovic

“…Depletion of ESCRT-III-2 leads to the accumulation of cells connected through narrow membrane bridges (“late” stage), consistent with the key role of this protein in the final membrane abscission. We used 3D-single molecule localization microscopy to image ESCRT-III rings of different diameters and show that the decrease in the ESCRT-III ring diameter and membrane constriction are inconsistent with a mechanism exclusively based on spiraling of the ESCRT-III filaments. …”
