Asgard archaea reveal the conserved principles of ESCRT-III membrane remodeling
Asgard archaea have two ESCRT-III subunits with the conserved traits that drive stepwise membrane remodeling in eukaryotes.

Happy to share our paper’s final version on the evolution, structure, and membrane binding / remodeling of Asgard ESCRT-III proteins! And my first 🦋 post! www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Extremely happy to see our work finally out!🎉 Great collaboration between @rouxlab.bsky.social @buzzbaum.bsky.social labs and a real pleasure to work and share co-first authorship with incredible scientists and friends @diorgeps.bsky.social @sami-c.bsky.social. Big thanks to the rest of the authors!
New research on ancient Asgard archaeal ESCRT-III proteins reveals evolutionary secrets of membrane remodelling.
Diorge Souza, Javier Espadas and Sami Chaaban, investigated the ESCRT-III proteins with Buzz Baum and Aurelien Roux.

ESCRT-III is an ancient complex, present in Archaea, with only two proteins and all membrane remodelling functions. Great work by @javierespadas.bsky.social, @diorgeps.bsky.social, @sami-c.bsky.social, thanks to the @buzzbaum.bsky.social lab! Drawing by Julie Polge.
