the cool papers on ESCRTs just keep coming! Make sure you check this fantastic work. It was amazing to hear about it from @mareikejordan.bsky.social at the ESCRT meeting last year!

This is such a cool observation, some enveloped viruses encode their own ESCRTs. My fellow ESCRTologists, we are never going to get bored!

ESCRTs are repurposed when missegregated DNA persist during nuclear envelope reformation, at this point ESCRT-III binds this DNA and mounts the NoCut response to protect the genome

The ESCRT machinery mediates repair of damaged lysosomal membranes. But how does it recognise damage? Authors @nature report LASER, a fast-forming protein assembly that detects Ca2+-leakage from sites of lysosomal injury and recruits ESCRTs there. shorturl.at/T9zM6
shorturl.at
LASER couples damage sensing to ESCRT assembly for lysosome repair - Nature
ATG8 conjugation on damaged lysosomes triggers rapid assembly of a protein complex containing TFG, which directs lysosomal membrane repair by recruiting ESCRT proteins to sites of damage.
