Gene Description

CHMP6 encodes the human Vps20 ortholog, a myristoylated ESCRT-III component that acts at endosomal membranes as an acceptor/nucleator for ESCRT-II and helps recruit CHMP4-family ESCRT-III subunits. Its best-supported cellular role is endolysosomal membrane-cargo quality control: MVB assembly and sorting of ubiquitinated/endocytosed cargo, delivery toward lysosomal degradation, and VPS4-mediated ESCRT-III remodeling through its internal MIM2 motif. Broader ESCRT functions in viral budding, cytokinesis, nuclear-envelope sealing, plasma-membrane repair, and autophagy are biologically plausible pathway contexts, but the CHMP6-specific literature makes endosomal MVB sorting the core function.

Core Functions

CHMP6 is a myristoylated Vps20/ESCRT-III component that links ESCRT-II to ESCRT-III on endosomal membranes. By binding ESCRT-II, CHMP4-family ESCRT-III subunits, and VPS4 through its MIM2 element, CHMP6 supports ESCRT-III assembly/remodeling, MVB formation and sorting of ubiquitinated/endocytosed membrane cargo, and downstream late-endosome-to-lysosome degradation of cargo such as EGFR and ferroportin.

Suggested Questions for Experts

Q: Can endogenous CHMP6 depletion/rescue cleanly separate its ESCRT-II acceptor/nucleator role from later VPS4-mediated ESCRT-III recycling during MVB sorting?

Q: Should CHMP6 viral-budding annotations be removed or generalized to pathway-level ESCRT context given CHMP6-specific depletion data showing no reduction in HIV-1 release?

Q: Which autophagy and nuclear-envelope annotations are directly CHMP6-specific rather than inherited from broad ESCRT-III complex biology?

Suggested Experiments

Experiment: Rescue CHMP6-depleted cells with wild-type, non-myristoylated G2A, ESCRT-II-binding-defective, CHMP4-binding-defective, and MIM2 VPS4-binding-defective CHMP6 while measuring EGFR and ferroportin degradation, MVB ILV cargo incorporation, and ESCRT-III/VPS4 residence times.

Hypothesis: CHMP6-dependent cargo degradation will require membrane association, ESCRT-II/CHMP4 handoff, and VPS4 MIM2-mediated remodeling, with separable effects on initial MVB sorting and later ESCRT-III turnover.

Experiment: Compare acute CHMP6, CHMP4, and VPS4 perturbations in HIV-1 budding, MVB cargo degradation, and plasma membrane repair assays using matched depletion/rescue conditions.

Hypothesis: CHMP6 will be essential or strongly limiting for ESCRT-II-dependent endosomal cargo sorting but less directly required for HIV budding and other ESCRT pathway outputs that can bypass ESCRT-II/CHMP6.

Experiment: Use endogenous tagging and proximity labeling to define when CHMP6 is recruited during starvation autophagy, amphisome formation, and nuclear-envelope repair relative to CHMP7, CHMP4, IST1, and VPS4.

Hypothesis: CHMP6 recruitment in these contexts will be secondary or context-dependent compared with its constitutive role in endosomal ESCRT-II-to-ESCRT-III handoff.
