Gene Description

CHMP4C encodes a Snf7-family ESCRT-III paralog with a specialized role in Aurora B/NoCut abscission checkpoint control. Unlike CHMP4B, which is the main CHMP4 paralog required for MHC-I degradation, HIV release, and cytokinesis execution in key paralog-comparison assays, CHMP4C delays abscission when chromosome segregation or checkpoint signals persist. Aurora B-phosphorylated CHMP4C localizes to the midbody/Flemming body, works with Borealin/CPC and ANCHR/ZFYVE19, and retains VPS4 at the midbody ring until checkpoint signaling is terminated. Broader ESCRT/MVB/autophagy annotations are plausible family context but should not obscure this core checkpoint-regulatory function.

ACCEPT
Summary: Supported CHMP4C ESCRT-III complex membership annotation: ESCRT III complex.
Reason: CHMP4C is a Snf7-family CHMP4 subunit of ESCRT-III; its most specific cellular function is checkpoint regulation, but complex membership is sound.
Supporting Evidence:

Summary: Plausible PN-relevant but non-core CHMP4C autophagy/endolysosomal context: macroautophagy.
Reason: The PN places CHMP4C in an ESCRT-III autophagophore closure bucket and ESCRT/MVB function supports autophagic clearance, but cached CHMP4C-specific papers do not directly test CHMP4C as the phagophore sealing effector.

Reason: CHMP4C can bind ESCRT/ALIX machinery, but a direct CHMP4 paralog comparison found that CHMP4A or CHMP4C depletion did not inhibit HIV-1 release whereas CHMP4B depletion did; viral budding should not be treated as a CHMP4C core role.
Supporting Evidence:

Core Functions

CHMP4C is a specialized ESCRT-III regulatory subunit for the Aurora B/NoCut abscission checkpoint. Aurora B-phosphorylated CHMP4C localizes to the midbody/Flemming body, engages CPC/Borealin and ANCHR/ZFYVE19, and retains VPS4 at the midbody ring to delay abscission until checkpoint signaling is relieved.

Local curation notes for CHMP4C
  • Local synthesis identifies Aurora B/NoCut abscission checkpoint regulation as the CHMP4C core function and treats autophagy/MVB annotations as non-core ESCRT-family context.

Suggested Questions for Experts

Q: Which ESCRT-III/autophagophore closure assays directly implicate CHMP4C, rather than CHMP4C being included by CHMP4-family or ESCRT-III component membership?

Q: Should GO annotations for CHMP4C distinguish checkpoint-regulatory abscission roles from CHMP4B-like execution roles in MVB cargo degradation and HIV release?

Q: Does CHMP4C phosphorylation state alter its ESCRT-III polymerization or partner recruitment in endosomal and autophagy contexts, or only at the cytokinetic midbody?

Suggested Experiments

Experiment: Use endogenous CHMP4C tagging and acute CHMP4C depletion/rescue in starvation-induced autophagy and mitophagy assays that monitor phagophore closure directly.

Hypothesis: If CHMP4C is a direct autophagophore sealing subunit, it should be recruited to unsealed autophagosomes and rescue should require its ESCRT-III core and regulatory tail.

Experiment: Compare CHMP4A, CHMP4B, and CHMP4C depletion/rescue in MVB cargo degradation, HIV budding, abscission execution, and NoCut checkpoint activation using matched endogenous expression systems.

Hypothesis: CHMP4C will preferentially rescue checkpoint timing rather than CHMP4B-like MVB/HIV/cytokinesis execution phenotypes.

Experiment: Test Aurora B phospho-site mutants and ANCHR-binding perturbations for effects on CHMP4C polymerization, VPS4 retention, and midbody-to-abscission-zone relocalization.

Hypothesis: CHMP4C phosphorylation controls checkpoint-mediated VPS4 retention and delayed abscission rather than simply controlling midbody recruitment.

CHMP4C curation notes

2026-06-02 review

Falcon deep research was started with just deep-research-falcon human CHMP4C; the run timed out after 600 seconds with All providers failed and did not write a CHMP4C-deep-research-falcon.md report. This review is therefore based on the fetched UniProt/GOA records and cached publications.

CHMP4C is a Snf7-family ESCRT-III paralog, but the strongest CHMP4C-specific literature points to abscission checkpoint regulation rather than to CHMP4B-like execution of endosomal cargo sorting, HIV release, and completion of cytokinesis. UniProt summarizes CHMP4C as an ESCRT-III component and explicitly highlights cytokinesis checkpoint control: phosphorylated CHMP4C with ANCHR retains VPS4 at the midbody ring until checkpoint signaling ends [UniProt:Q96CF2 "component of the cytokinesis checkpoint"; UniProt:Q96CF2 "retains abscission-competent VPS4 (VPS4A and/or VPS4B) at the midbody ring until abscission checkpoint signaling is terminated"; UniProt:Q96CF2 "Phosphorylated at Ser-210 by AURKB during cytokinesis"].

The key primary paper shows that CHMP4C is the CHMP4 paralog specialized for Aurora B/NoCut abscission checkpoint control. CHMP4C is a human ESCRT-III subunit involved in abscission timing, functions in the Aurora B-dependent abscission checkpoint, engages Borealin/CPC, and inhibits abscission when phosphorylated by Aurora B [PMID:22422861 "charged multivesicular body (MVB) protein 4C (CHMP4C), a human ESCRT-III subunit, is involved in abscission timing"; PMID:22422861 "CHMP4C functioned in the Aurora B-dependent abscission checkpoint"; PMID:22422861 "CHMP4C engaged the chromosomal passenger complex (CPC) via interaction with Borealin"; PMID:22422861 "CHMP4C inhibits abscission upon phosphorylation by Aurora B"]. CHMP4C-depleted cells complete abscission faster, and S210-dependent localization to the Flemming body is required for the checkpoint [PMID:22422861 "depletion of CHMP4C reduced abscission time by approximately 30 minutes"; PMID:22422861 "Aurora B-dependent phosphorylation of S210 allows CHMP4C localization to the Flemming body and acts as a brake upon the late stages of cytokinesis"; PMID:22422861 "CHMP4C depletion circumvents the NoCut abscission checkpoint"].

The same paper is important negative evidence against over-annotating CHMP4C to CHMP4B-like MVB degradation and HIV release. Depletion of CHMP4B prevented MHC-I degradation, whereas CHMP4A or CHMP4C depletion had little effect; depletion of CHMP4A or CHMP4C did not inhibit HIV-1 release, and only CHMP4B inhibited that process; CHMP4A and CHMP4C were dispensable for completion of cytokinesis while CHMP4B was required [PMID:22422861 "depletion of CHMP4B prevented MHC-I degradation, whereas depletion of CHMP4A or CHMP4C had little effect"; PMID:22422861 "depletion of CHMP4A or CHMP4C did not inhibit HIV-1 release and only depletion of CHMP4B inhibited this ESCRT-dependent process"; PMID:22422861 "CHMP4A and CHMP4C were dispensable for completion of cytokinesis, whereas CHMP4B was again the sole paralog required"]. Therefore viral budding and broad MVB cargo-degradation annotations for CHMP4C should be retained, at most, as non-core/over-annotated ESCRT-family context, not as CHMP4C core function.

Borealin/CPC and ANCHR papers provide mechanistic support. Borealin interacts directly with Snf7/CHMP4 components and Aurora B phosphorylates CHMP4C in its C-terminal regulatory region; mutation of those sites causes cytokinesis defects, supporting an abscission-timing checkpoint role [PMID:22724069 "Borealin interacts directly with the Snf7 components of ESCRT-III"; PMID:22724069 "Aurora B kinase, phosphorylates one of the three human Snf7 paralogues-CHMP4C-in its C-terminal tail"; PMID:22724069 "Phosphorylation at these sites appears essential for CHMP4C function because their mutation leads to cytokinesis defects"]. ANCHR/ZFYVE19 acts with CHMP4C to retain VPS4 at the midbody ring and delay abscission in an Aurora-B-dependent manner [PMID:24814515 "In concert with CHMP4C, ANCHR associates with VPS4 at the midbody ring"; PMID:24814515 "association prevents VPS4 relocalization to the abscission zone"; PMID:24814515 "abscission checkpoint is mediated by ANCHR and CHMP4C through retention of VPS4 at the midbody ring"].

CHMP4C still has bona fide ESCRT-III context. ALIX binds C-terminal residues of human CHMP4A-C, and CHMP4 proteins are recruited by ALIX in ESCRT pathways [PMID:18511562 "ALIX protein must bind and recruit CHMP4 subunits of the ESCRT-III complex"; PMID:18511562 "Bro1 domain of ALIX binds specifically to C-terminal residues of the human CHMP4 proteins (CHMP4A-C)"]. The 2022 MIT-domain interactome emphasizes CHMP4C's distinct C-terminal insertion and specialized checkpoint role; CHMP4C peptide competed for AMSH MIT binding but not MITD1 or USP8, unlike other CHMP4 paralogs [PMID:36107470 "CHMP4C performs a unique role in abscission checkpoint regulation"; PMID:36107470 "CHMP4C bound AMSH MIT (Ki 14 uM), but still failed to bind MITD1 or USP8"].

PN/autophagy annotations should be conservative. CHMP4C is included in the PN ESCRT-III autophagophore closure bucket, and ESCRT/MVB function is broadly required for autophagic clearance PMID:17984323. However, the cached CHMP4C-specific papers do not directly assay CHMP4C as the phagophore sealing effector. Therefore autophagy, autophagosome maturation, autophagosome membrane, amphisome, and lysosomal-membrane annotations are retained as plausible PN-relevant ESCRT-family context but not identified as CHMP4C's core function.

Generic protein binding and homodimerization annotations are over-annotated. CHMP4C's informative molecular role is ESCRT-III regulatory/checkpoint function through ALIX/CPC/ANCHR/VPS4-associated assemblies; generic protein binding does not convey that mechanism. Viral budding annotations are also likely paralog over-annotations for CHMP4C because CHMP4C depletion did not inhibit HIV-1 release in the paralog comparison paper.

AIGR Review Snapshot

  • Description: CHMP4C encodes a Snf7-family ESCRT-III paralog with a specialized role in Aurora B/NoCut abscission checkpoint control. Unlike CHMP4B, which is the main CHMP4 paralog required for MHC-I degradation, HIV release, and cytokinesis execution in key paralog-comparison assays, CHMP4C delays abscission when chromosome segregation or checkpoint signals persist. Aurora B-phosphorylated CHMP4C localizes to the midbody/Flemming body, works with Borealin/CPC and ANCHR/ZFYVE19, and retains VPS4 at the midbody ring until checkpoint signaling is terminated. Broader ESCRT/MVB/autophagy annotations are plausible family context but should not obscure this core checkpoint-regulatory function.

PN Consistency Summary

  • Consistency: Consistent, with a deliberate emphasis divergence the review handles well. The review's core function is the specialized Aurora-B/NoCut abscission-checkpoint role (midbody, Borealin/CPC, ANCHR/ZFYVE19, VPS4 retention), NOT autophagosome sealing. The PN places CHMP4C in the generic ESCRT-III sealing bucket purely by family/component membership; the review's autophagy entries (GO:0097352, GO:0016236) are explicitly KEEP_AS_NON_CORE and flagged as inherited, "cached CHMP4C-specific papers do not directly test CHMP4C as the phagophore sealing effector." No contradiction — the review is correctly more conservative than PN.
  • PN story / NEW pressure: PN projects GO:0000045 autophagosome assembly (verified real). For CHMP4C the supporting evidence is paralog/family-level only, so this would be over-reach as a gene-specific assertion. The review already captures the family context as non-core and raises a suggested_question asking which assays directly implicate CHMP4C vs family inclusion. PN over-reaches for CHMP4C — do not ADD GO:0000045; already captured at non-core altitude.
  • Evidence alignment: Divergent. PN cites the Cells "Key Regulators of Autophagosome Closure" review only. Review cites primary checkpoint/ESCRT papers (PMID:36107470 ESCRT-III-MIT interactome [eLife, verified — not the PN review], PMID:17984323, PMID:20588296). No shared citations.
  • Verdict: Consistent; review correctly resists the PN autophagy projection. Recommended edits: none.

  • Mapping strategy: No change. CHMP4C is a weak member for the "Sealing" group projection; the conservative class-level context_only is right and the gene's distinctive checkpoint role is orthogonal to the ALP-sealing node.

      status=mapped scope=ok_for_propagation_to_go GO=[GO:0000045 autophagosome assembly]
      rationale: This group captures autophagophore closure/sealing, a late step in autophagosome assembly. Autophagosome assembly is the safer process target than autophagosome-lysosome fusion.
    • [class] Autophagy-Lysosome Pathway|Autophagosome closure maturation and lysosome fusion
      status=context_only scope=too_broad_to_propagate GO=[GO:0016236 macroautophagy]
      rationale: This class is a late macroautophagy context, but the subtree mixes docking, fusion, localization, membrane-composition, and unknown late-stage roles. The class-level relation is useful for display while propagation is restricted to narrower mechanism nodes.
    • [branch] Autophagy-Lysosome Pathway
      status=no_mapping scope= GO=[]
      rationale: Reviewed as the top-level PN branch. It is a project taxonomy umbrella rather than a direct GO assertion; all propagation must come from manually curated child nodes.

      rationale: Reviewed as a broad PN taxonomy container. The descendants mix components, regulators, context labels, and mechanistic leaves, so propagation should come only from narrower curated nodes.
    • [class] Autophagy-Lysosome Pathway|Microautophagy
      status=context_only scope=too_broad_to_propagate GO=[GO:0016237 microautophagy]

core_functions:
- description: CHMP4C is a specialized ESCRT-III regulatory subunit for the Aurora B/NoCut abscission checkpoint. Aurora B-phosphorylated CHMP4C localizes to the midbody/Flemming body, engages CPC/Borealin and ANCHR/ZFYVE19, and retains VPS4 at the midbody ring to delay abscission until checkpoint signaling is relieved.

suggested_questions:
- question: Which ESCRT-III/autophagophore closure assays directly implicate CHMP4C, rather than CHMP4C being included by CHMP4-family or ESCRT-III component membership?
- question: Should GO annotations for CHMP4C distinguish checkpoint-regulatory abscission roles from CHMP4B-like execution roles in MVB cargo degradation and HIV release?
- question: Does CHMP4C phosphorylation state alter its ESCRT-III polymerization or partner recruitment in endosomal and autophagy contexts, or only at the cytokinetic midbody?
suggested_experiments:
- description: Use endogenous CHMP4C tagging and acute CHMP4C depletion/rescue in starvation-induced autophagy and mitophagy assays that monitor phagophore closure directly.
  hypothesis: If CHMP4C is a direct autophagophore sealing subunit, it should be recruited to unsealed autophagosomes and rescue should require its ESCRT-III core and regulatory tail.
- description: Compare CHMP4A, CHMP4B, and CHMP4C depletion/rescue in MVB cargo degradation, HIV budding, abscission execution, and NoCut checkpoint activation using matched endogenous expression systems.
  hypothesis: CHMP4C will preferentially rescue checkpoint timing rather than CHMP4B-like MVB/HIV/cytokinesis execution phenotypes.
- description: Test Aurora B phospho-site mutants and ANCHR-binding perturbations for effects on CHMP4C polymerization, VPS4 retention, and midbody-to-abscission-zone relocalization.
  hypothesis: CHMP4C phosphorylation controls checkpoint-mediated VPS4 retention and delayed abscission rather than simply controlling midbody recruitment.
