Gene Description

CHMP3 (also known as VPS24/hVps24) is a core component of the ESCRT-III complex, belonging to the SNF7 protein family. It functions as a non-enzymatic structural subunit that co-polymerizes with CHMP2A and CHMP4B to form helical/spiral polymers that constrict and sever membrane necks in "reverse topology" membrane fission events (budding away from the cytosol). CHMP3 is maintained in an autoinhibited cytosolic state and is activated upon recruitment to membranes through interaction with other ESCRT-III components. The VPS4 AAA+ ATPase disassembles CHMP3-containing polymers after membrane scission. CHMP3 participates in multivesicular body (MVB) formation and cargo sorting to lysosomes, cytokinetic abscission at the midbody, nuclear envelope reformation during telophase, plasma membrane repair, and is hijacked by enveloped viruses (notably HIV-1) for budding. It also plays roles in autophagosome maturation and endosomal proteostasis relevant to neurodegenerative disease.

Existing Annotations Review

GO Term Evidence Action Reason
GO:0005771 multivesicular body
IBA
GO_REF:0000033
ACCEPT
Summary: CHMP3/VPS24 is a core ESCRT-III subunit that functions at MVBs to mediate ILV formation. IBA annotation is phylogenetically sound as Vps24 function at MVBs is conserved from yeast.
Reason: CHMP3 localization to MVBs is well-supported. Bache et al. (PMID:16554368) showed endogenous hVps24 localized mainly to late endosomes and MVBs. The deep research confirms CHMP3 acts at endosomal limiting membranes for ILV formation.
Supporting Evidence:
PMID:16554368
Like Tsg101, endogenous hVps24 localized mainly to late endosomes.

GO:0015031 protein transport
IBA
GO_REF:0000033
ACCEPT
Summary: CHMP3 participates in protein transport as part of ESCRT-III mediated cargo sorting to lysosomes.
Reason: While general, this term is appropriate as CHMP3 is required for transport of cargo proteins like EGFR from endosomes to lysosomes (PMID:16554368).
Supporting Evidence:
PMID:16554368
Depletion of hVps24 by siRNA showed that this ESCRT subunit, like Tsg101, is important for degradation of the epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor (EGFR) and for transport of the receptor from early endosomes to lysosomes.
GO:0032509 endosome transport via multivesicular body sorting pathway
IBA
GO_REF:0000033
ACCEPT
Summary: CHMP3 is essential for MVB-mediated endosomal transport as a core ESCRT-III component.
Reason: This is a core function of CHMP3. The MVB sorting pathway requires ESCRT-III for ILV formation and cargo sorting.
Supporting Evidence:
PMID:16554368
hVps24 is required for degradation but not silencing of the epidermal growth factor receptor
GO:0045324 late endosome to vacuole transport
IBA
GO_REF:0000033
ACCEPT
Summary: CHMP3 is required for late endosome to lysosome transport (vacuole is the yeast equivalent of lysosome).
Reason: Conserved function from yeast Vps24. In human cells, CHMP3 is required for transport from late endosomes to lysosomes.
Supporting Evidence:
PMID:16554368
Electron microscopy of hVps24-depleted cells showed an accumulation of EGFRs in MVEs that were significantly smaller than those in control cells, probably because of an impaired fusion with lyso-bisphosphatidic acid-positive late endosomes/lysosomes.
GO:0000815 ESCRT III complex
IBA
GO_REF:0000033
ACCEPT
Summary: CHMP3 is a core structural subunit of the ESCRT-III complex. This is one of the most fundamental aspects of CHMP3 function.
Reason: CHMP3/VPS24 is unambiguously a core ESCRT-III component, demonstrated by structural studies showing CHMP2A-CHMP3 helical copolymers (PMID:18687924) and functional studies.
Supporting Evidence:
PMID:18687924
CHMP2A and CHMP3 copolymerized in solution, and their membrane targeting was cooperatively enhanced on planar lipid bilayers.
GO:0000776 kinetochore
IEA
GO_REF:0000117
ACCEPT
Summary: IEA annotation suggesting CHMP3 localizes to kinetochores. This is supported by a global screen (PMID reference in later IDA annotation).
Reason: CHMP3 was reported to localize to kinetochores in a global screen for proteins with mitotic functions (cited in PMID:20616062). While not a primary localization, it appears to be a real secondary site.
Supporting Evidence:
PMID:20616062

GO:0001778 plasma membrane repair

GO:0005643 nuclear pore
IEA
GO_REF:0000117
KEEP AS NON CORE
Summary: IEA suggesting CHMP3 localizes to nuclear pores. While ESCRT-III acts at the nuclear envelope during reformation, nuclear pore localization specifically is less well established for CHMP3.
Reason: ESCRT-III (particularly CHMP2A) localizes to nucleo-cytoplasmic channels during NE reformation (PMID:26040713), which are distinct from nuclear pores. However, proximity to NE fenestrations may be captured by this term. Not a core localization.
Supporting Evidence:
PMID:26040713
On these sheets, CHMP2A localised to discrete regions, with intact NE being devoid of label, but with CHMP2A preferentially...decorating nucleo-cytoplasmic channels
GO:0005765 lysosomal membrane
IEA
GO_REF:0000117

GO:0005828 kinetochore microtubule
IEA
GO_REF:0000117
KEEP AS NON CORE
Summary: IEA annotation for kinetochore microtubule localization of CHMP3.
Reason: While CHMP3 has been found at kinetochores in screens (PMID:20616062), kinetochore microtubule localization specifically is less directly supported. This is secondary to core ESCRT-III functions.
Supporting Evidence:
PMID:20616062
CHMP3 and CHMP4, were recently reported to localize to kinetochores in a global screen
GO:0005829 cytosol
IEA

GO:0006915 apoptotic process
IEA
GO_REF:0000043
KEEP AS NON CORE
Summary: IEA annotation linking CHMP3 to apoptosis. Isoform 2 of CHMP3 can prevent stress-mediated cell death in yeast.
Reason: UniProt notes that Isoform 2 prevents stress-mediated cell death in yeast. This is a secondary function not representing core ESCRT-III activity. May reflect indirect effects of ESCRT dysfunction.

Reason: UniProt indicates CHMP3 selectively binds PI(3,5)P2 and PI(3,4)P2 in preference to other phosphoinositides. PI(4,5)P2 binding is less specific. The annotation should be more accurate to the tested lipid preferences.
