Concerted ESCRT and clathrin recruitment waves define the timing and morphology of intraluminal vesicle formation

Abstract

Intraluminal vesicles are formed by the endosomal sorting complex required for transport (ESCRT) machinery. Here, the authors unravel the timing of vesicle budding, and that endosomal clathrin regulates concerted recruitment of ESCRT subcomplexes, required for efficient membrane remodeling.
