Abstract
The endosomal sorting complex required for transport (ESCRT) machinery, including ESCRT-III, localizes to the midbody and participates in the membrane-abscission step of cytokinesis. The ESCRT-III protein charged multivesicular body protein 1B (CHMP1B) is required for recruitment of the MIT domain-containing protein spastin, a microtubule-severing enzyme, to the midbody. The 2.5-A structure of the C-terminal tail of CHMP1B with the MIT domain of spastin reveals a specific, high-affinity complex involving a noncanonical binding site between the first and third helices of the MIT domain. The structural interface is twice as large as that of the MIT domain of the VPS4-CHMP complex, consistent with the high affinity of the interaction. A series of unique hydrogen-bonding interactions and close packing of small side chains discriminate against the other ten human ESCRT-III subunits. Point mutants in the CHMP1B binding site of spastin block recruitment of spastin to the midbody and impair cytokinesis.

(a) Overall structure of the MIT domain (blue) and CHMP1B (orange). (b) Key MIM leucine residues bind to hydrophobic pockets in the groove between 1 and 3 of the MIT domain. The spastin MIT domain surface is colored green for carbon atoms, red for oxygen and blue for nitrogen. Contiguous green regions indicate hydrophobic surfaces. (c) Overview of polar interactions between CHMP1B-CTR and the spastin MIT domain. (d–f) Details of interactions as seen in insets d–f within c.
