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.

Summary: Likely paralog over-annotation for CHMP4C viral budding context: viral budding via host ESCRT complex.
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.

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:

ESCRT-III proteins mostly dissociate from the invaginating membrane before the ILV is released

KEEP AS NON CORE
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.
Supporting Evidence:
PMID:17984323
Functional multivesicular bodies are required for autophagic clearance
PMID:17984323
autophagic degradation is inhibited in cells depleted of ESCRT subunits

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.

Summary: Plausible but non-core CHMP4C ESCRT/MVB context: multivesicular body assembly.
Reason: CHMP4C belongs to the CHMP4/ESCRT-III family, but CHMP4C-specific evidence points most strongly to abscission-checkpoint regulation; MVB/endosomal sorting annotations are retained as non-core ESCRT-family context.
Supporting Evidence:
UniProt:Q96CF2

PMID:18511562
The ESCRT pathway facilitates membrane fission events during enveloped virus budding, multivesicular body formation, and cytokinesis

MARK AS OVER ANNOTATED
Summary: Likely paralog over-annotation for CHMP4C viral budding context: viral budding via host ESCRT complex.
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:
PMID:22422861
depletion of CHMP4A or CHMP4C did not inhibit HIV-1 release
PMID:22422861
only depletion of CHMP4B inhibited this ESCRT-dependent process

Reason: ESCRT-III/VPS4 perturbation affects centrosome and spindle maintenance, but these broad cell-cycle annotations are secondary to CHMP4C abscission-checkpoint regulation.
Supporting Evidence:
PMID:20616062
depletion of individual ESCRT-III and VPS4 proteins also altered centrosome and spindle pole numbers
PMID:20616062

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.

  • UniProt:Q96CF2

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.
