Abstract
ESCRT-III complexes assemble in vivo inside membrane structures with a negative Gaussian curvature, but how membrane shape influences ESCRT-III polymerization remains unclear. Here authors use structural and biophysical methods to show how human ESCRT-III polymers assemble on positively curved membranes and induce helical membrane tube formation.
