VPS4 complex Overview

GO Annotations consist of four mandatory components: a gene product, a term from one of the three Gene Ontology (GO) controlled vocabularies (Molecular Function, Biological Process, and Cellular Component), a reference, and an evidence code.


Summary
An AAA-ATPase that is probably the main energy-providing system for the membrane deformation and abscission function of the ESCRT machinery consisting of ESCRT-0 (CPX-1622), -I (CPX-940), -II (CPX-1623), -III (CPX-1624) and -IV (this complex) . Required for the dissociation and recycling of ESCRT-III complex subunits from vesicle and plasma membranes as well as the midbody during the final stages of cytokinesis where it causes constriction of the ESCRT-III polymer and fission of the associated membrane neck. Multiple disassembly reactions are performed until ESCRT-III dissociation has been completed. VPS4 ATPase activity is regulated by a) ESCRT-III interactions with VPS4 which enhance ATP hydrolysis by relieving autoinhibition of the AAA domain and b) binding of the VTA1 homodimers (Q06263) which both promotes VPS4 oligomerization and enhances ATP hydrolysis. Binding of ESCRT-III subunits DID2 (P69771) or VPS60 (Q03390) to the amino-terminal of VTA1 relieves autoinhibition within VTA1 to further enhance stimulation of VPS4 ATP hydrolysis. Binding of IST1 (P53843) to VPS4 negatively regulates VPS4 activity by blocking binding to the ESCRT machinery.
GO Slim Terms

The yeast GO Slim terms are higher level terms that best represent the major S. cerevisiae biological processes, functions, and cellular components. The GO Slim terms listed here are the broader parent terms for the specific terms to which this gene product is annotated, and thus represent the more general processes, functions, and components in which it is involved.
