High impact information on CHMP4B

  • The ALG-2-interacting protein Alix associates with CHMP4b, a human homologue of yeast Snf7 that is involved in multivesicular body sorting [1].
  • Fluorescence microscopic analysis revealed that CHMP4b transiently expressed in HeLa cells mainly exhibited a punctate distribution in the perinuclear area and co-localized with co-expressed Alix [1].
  • The interaction of Alix with CHMP4b was confirmed by a glutathione S-transferase pull-down assay and by co-immunoprecipitation experiments [1].
  • In addition to the previously isolated cDNAs for two CHMP4 proteins (CHMP4a and CHMP4b), we isolated a cDNA for a new member of the CHMP4 subfamily (designated CHMP4c) [2].
  • CHMP7, a novel ESCRT-III-related protein, associates with CHMP4b and functions in the endosomal sorting pathway [3].
 

Anatomical context of CHMP4B

  • Furthermore, CHMP4b co-localized with SKD1(E235Q) as punctate patterns in the perinuclear area, and Alix was induced to exhibit dot-like distributions overlapped with SKD1(E235Q) in HeLa cells [1].
 

Physical interactions of CHMP4B

  • These results suggest that CHMP4b is a major binding partner of Alix among the three CHMP4 isoforms [2].
