Changes in ESCRT-III filament geometry drive membrane remodelling and fission in silico

Abstract Background ESCRT-III is a membrane remodelling filament with the unique ability to cut membranes from the inside of the membrane neck. It is essential for the final stage of cell division, the formation of vesicles, the release of viruses, and membrane repair. Distinct from other cytoskelet...
