Descriptions

CHMP2A is a core component of the endosomal sorting required for transport complex III (ESCRT-III), which is involved in multivesicular bodies (MVBs) formation and sorting of endosomal cargo proteins into MVBs. Removing 42 amino acids from the C-terminal of the protein unmasks a common ability to associate with endosomal membranes and assemble into large polymeric complexes, and the C-terminal sequences are also important for interaction of ESCRT-III protein with VPS4. Thus, ESCRT-III proteins cycle between a closed state and an activated open state is under control of sequences at the C-terminus and associated factors.

4 GO annotations of cellular component

Name Definition
ESCRT III complex A complex with membrane scission activity that plays a major role in many processes where membranes are remodelled - including endosomal transport (vesicle budding), nuclear envelope organisation (membrane closure, mitotic bridge cleavage), and cytokinesis (abscission).
late endosome membrane The lipid bilayer surrounding a late endosome.
multivesicular body A type of endosome in which regions of the limiting endosomal membrane invaginate to form internal vesicles; membrane proteins that enter the internal vesicles are sequestered from the cytoplasm.
nuclear envelope The double lipid bilayer enclosing the nucleus and separating its contents from the rest of the cytoplasm; includes the intermembrane space, a gap of width 20-40 nm (also called the perinuclear space).

5 GO annotations of biological process

Name Definition
endosome transport via multivesicular body sorting pathway The directed movement of substances from endosomes to lysosomes or vacuoles by a pathway in which molecules are sorted into multivesicular bodies, which then fuse with the target compartment.
exit from mitosis The cell cycle transition where a cell leaves M phase and enters a new G1 phase. M phase is the part of the mitotic cell cycle during which mitosis and cytokinesis take place.
late endosome to vacuole transport The directed movement of substances from late endosomes to the vacuole. In yeast, after transport to the prevacuolar compartment, endocytic content is delivered to the late endosome and on to the vacuole. This pathway is analogous to endosome to lysosome transport.
nuclear membrane reassembly The reformation of the nuclear membranes following their breakdown in the context of a normal process.
protein transport The directed movement of proteins into, out of or within a cell, or between cells, by means of some agent such as a transporter or pore.
