Bro1 contributes to cargo selection during Multivesicular Body (MVB) sorting (LB283)

A key step in the lysosomal degradation of membrane proteins is sorting into the Multivesicular Body (MVB), a process wherein a region of the endosomal membrane buds into the lumen of the endosome to form an intraluminal vesicle (ILV). This sorting process is mediated by Endosomal Sorting Complexes Required for Transport (ESCRT‐0, I, II and III). Ubiquitination of MVB cargo and recognition of Ub‐cargo by ESCRT‐0, I and II permit entry into the MVB pathway; however, Ub is typically removed from the MVB cargo prior to cargo inclusion into the ILV. The coordination of deubiquination of MVB cargo with ESCRT‐III disassembly and ILV formation are not clear. Bro1 appears to play a critical role in coordinating cargo de‐ubiquitination and ILV formation through interactions with ESCRT machinery, the Ub peptidase, Doa4, ubiquitin‐modified cargo, and regulation of the ESCRT‐III‐associated AAA ATPase Vps4. These data suggest that members of the Bro1 family may be similarly impacting ESCRT‐dependent processes in a number of contexts.
