💡New Preprint! How does a cell control which way a membrane bends? ESCRT-III has the remarkable ability to reshape membranes and drive reverse-topology fission, yet a fundamental question has remained: what determines the direction of membrane remodeling? www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Direction of ESCRT-III-dependent membrane bending emerges from bilayer asymmetry

In cells, ESCRT-III is unique in mediating fission of membrane necks from inside, a process called reverse-topology fission. Yet, in vitro, the complex primarily assembles outside membrane necks and m...
