Membrane trafficking: ESCRTs act here, there, and everywhere

Curr Biol. 2022 Mar 28;32(6):R292-R294. doi: 10.1016/j.cub.2022.02.043.

Abstract

Endosomal sorting complex required for transport (ESCRT) proteins can promote extreme membrane deformations, including scission and sealing. New work uncovers a link between these proteins and the early secretory pathway that is functionally important for programmed autophagy during Drosophila development.
