Asgard archaea reveal the conserved principles of ESCRT-III membrane REMODELLING

Souza, D. P., Espadas, J., Chaaban, S., Moody, E. R., Hatano, T., Balasubramanian, M., Williams, T. A., Roux, A., & Baum, B. (2025). Asgard archaea reveal the conserved principles of ESCRT-III membrane remodeling. Science Advances, 11(6), eads5255.
https://doi.org/10.1126/sciadv.ads5255

ESCRT-III proteins assemble into composite polymers that undergo stepwise changes in composition and structure to deform membranes across the tree of life. Here, using a phylogenetic analysis, we demonstrate that the two endosomal sorting complex required for transport III (ESCRT-III) proteins present in eukaryote’s closest Asgard archaeal relatives are evolutionarily related to the B- and A-type eukaryotic paralogs that initiate and execute membrane remodeling, respectively. We show that Asgard ESCRT-IIIB assembles into parallel arrays on planar membranes to initiate membrane deformation, from where it recruits ESCRT-IIIA to generate composite polymers. Last, we show that Asgard ESCRT-IIIA is able to remodel membranes into tubes as a likely prelude to scission. Together, these data reveal a set of conserved principles governing ESCRT-III–dependent membrane remodeling that first emerged in a two-component ESCRT-III system in archaea.

Topology changes of Hydra define actin orientation defects as organizers of morphogenesis

Ravichandran, Y., Vogg, M., Kruse, K., Pearce, D. J., & Roux, A. (2025). Topology changes of Hydra define actin orientation defects as organizers of morphogenesis. Science Advances, 11(3), eadr9855.
https://doi.org/10.1126/sciadv.adr9855

Hydra regenerates one head when cut, but how forces shaping the head are coordinated remains unclear. Soft compression of Hydra’s head-regenerating tissues induces the formation of viable, two-headed animals. Compression creates new topological defects in the supracellular orientational order of muscular actin fibers, associated with additional heads. Theory supports that these defects organize muscle stresses required to shape the head. By compressing head-regenerating tissues along their body axis, we formed toroidal tissues, whose unique topology allows for the absence of defects. Toroids with no actin defects did not regenerate. Toroids with actin defects regenerated into viable toroidal animals with a bifurcated body. Topological defects in the actin orientational order are thus necessary for complete regeneration of Hydra, defining actin topological defects as mechanical organizers of morphogenesis.

Vps60 initiates alternative ESCRT-III filaments

Pfitzner, A. K., Zivkovic, H., Bernat-Silvestre, C., West, M., Peltier, T., Humbert, F., Odorizzi, G., & Roux, A. (2023). Vps60 initiates alternative ESCRT-III filaments. The Journal of cell biology, 222(11), e202206028.

Endosomal sorting complex required for transport-III (ESCRT-III) participates in essential cellular functions, from cell division to endosome maturation. The remarkable increase of its subunit diversity through evolution may have enabled the acquisition of novel functions. Here, we characterize a novel ESCRT-III copolymer initiated by Vps60. Membrane-bound Vps60 polymers recruit Vps2, Vps24, Did2, and Ist1, as previously shown for Snf7. Snf7- and Vps60-based filaments can coexist on membranes without interacting as their polymerization and recruitment of downstream subunits remain spatially and biochemically separated. In fibroblasts, Vps60/CHMP5 and Snf7/CHMP4 are both recruited during endosomal functions and cytokinesis, but their localization is segregated and their recruitment dynamics are different. Contrary to Snf7/CHMP4, Vps60/CHMP5 is not recruited during nuclear envelope reformation. Taken together, our results show that Vps60 and Snf7 form functionally distinct ESCRT-III polymers, supporting the notion that diversification of ESCRT-III subunits through evolution is linked to the acquisition of new cellular functions.

Integer topological defects organize stresses driving tissue morphogenesis

Guillamat, P., Blanch-Mercader, C., Pernollet, G., Kruse, K., & Roux, A. (2022). Integer topological defects organize stresses driving tissue morphogenesis. Nature materials, 21(5), 588-597.
https://doi.org/10.1038/s41563-022-01194-5

Tissues acquire function and shape via differentiation and morphogenesis. Both processes are driven by coordinating cellular forces and shapes at the tissue scale, but general principles governing this interplay remain to be discovered. Here we report that self-organization of myoblasts around integer topological defects, namely spirals and asters, suffices to establish complex multicellular architectures. In particular, these arrangements can trigger localized cell differentiation or, alternatively, when differentiation is inhibited, they can drive the growth of swirling protrusions. Both localized differentiation and growth of cellular vortices require specific stress patterns. By analysing the experimental velocity and orientational fields through active gel theory, we show that integer topological defects can generate force gradients that concentrate compressive stresses. We reveal these gradients by assessing spatial changes in nuclear volume and deformations of elastic pillars. We propose integer topological defects as mechanical organizing centres controlling differentiation and morphogenesis.

Epithelial cells adapt to curvature induction via transient active osmotic swelling

Tomba, C., Luchnikov, V., Barberi, L., Blanch-Mercader, C., & Roux, A. (2022). Epithelial cells adapt to curvature induction via transient active osmotic swelling. Developmental Cell, 57(10), 1257-1270.
https://doi.org/10.1016/j.devcel.2022.04.017.

Generation of tissue curvature is essential to morphogenesis. However, how cells adapt to changing curvature is still unknown because tools to dynamically control curvature in vitro are lacking. Here, we developed self-rolling substrates to study how flat epithelial cell monolayers adapt to a rapid anisotropic change of curvature. We show that the primary response is an active and transient osmotic swelling of cells. This cell volume increase is not observed on inducible wrinkled substrates, where concave and convex regions alternate each other over short distances; and this finding identifies swelling as a collective response to changes of curvature with a persistent sign over large distances. It is triggered by a drop in membrane tension and actin depolymerization, which is perceived by cells as a hypertonic shock. Osmotic swelling restores tension while actin reorganizes, probably to comply with curvature. Thus, epithelia are unique materials that transiently and actively swell while adapting to large curvature induction.
