Gene Description

CHMP7 encodes an ESCRT-III-like / ESCRT-II-III hybrid protein that acts most specifically as an upstream adaptor for nuclear-envelope ESCRT recruitment. During late anaphase, LEMD2/LEM2 recruits CHMP7 to the reforming nuclear envelope and chromatin-disk periphery, where CHMP7 helps recruit downstream ESCRT-III components such as CHMP2A and IST1/CHMP8 to seal nuclear-envelope holes and coordinate spindle microtubule disassembly. CHMP7 also has evidence for CHMP4B-associated endosomal sorting, but this appears secondary to its better-defined nuclear-envelope repair/sealing role.

Summary: Over-annotated CHMP7 viral-budding term: viral budding via host ESCRT complex.
Reason: The CHMP7 viral evidence is a dominant-negative overexpression effect on virus-like particle release, not an endogenous core CHMP7 viral-budding function.
Supporting Evidence:
PMID:16856878

Summary: The endosomal-sorting evidence is real, but late endosome to vacuole transport should be expressed with human MVB/endolysosomal terms.
Reason: CHMP7 has an older supported endosomal-sorting phenotype, but vacuole wording is less appropriate for human curation than MVB sorting / late endosome-to-lysosome transport.

Core Functions

CHMP7 is a LEMD2/LEM2-recruited ESCRT-III-like adaptor that localizes to reforming nuclear-envelope/chromatin-disk sites during late anaphase. It recruits downstream ESCRT-III factors to nuclear-envelope holes, supporting membrane closure/fission-like sealing of the nuclear envelope and coordination with spindle microtubule disassembly.

  • PMID:26040712

Suggested Questions for Experts

Q: Can endogenous CHMP7 rescue assays separate LEMD2 binding, CHMP4B recruitment, and VPS4-dependent ESCRT turnover during nuclear-envelope sealing?

Q: Should CHMP7 endosomal-sorting annotations remain non-core unless supported by endogenous depletion/rescue assays distinct from dominant-negative overexpression phenotypes?

Q: Is there a more specific GO process term needed for ESCRT-mediated nuclear-envelope hole sealing during anaphase?

Suggested Experiments

Experiment: Rescue CHMP7-depleted cells with wild-type CHMP7 and mutants separating LEMD2 binding, CHMP4B binding, and ESCRT-III recruitment while measuring CHMP2A/IST1 recruitment, NE sealing reporters, and post-mitotic nuclear leakage.

Hypothesis: CHMP7 nuclear-envelope sealing will require LEMD2-dependent recruitment and downstream ESCRT-III assembly more directly than its endosomal-sorting phenotype.

Experiment: Compare acute endogenous CHMP7 depletion/rescue in EGFR or ubiquitinated-cargo MVB sorting assays versus nuclear-envelope sealing assays under matched expression levels.

Hypothesis: The nuclear-envelope phenotype will be the clearest CHMP7-specific core function, whereas endosomal sorting will be weaker or context-dependent.

Experiment: Test whether CHMP7 perturbation affects virus-like particle release only through overexpression/dominant-negative ESCRT disruption or through a reproducible endogenous requirement.

Hypothesis: Viral-budding effects will reflect pathway-level ESCRT perturbation rather than a direct core CHMP7 function.
