Essential ingredients for HIV-1 budding

Abstract

HIV-1 engages the cellular ESCRT-III/VPS4 membrane scission machinery for its escape from host cells. Three papers now begin to demystify its mode of action by showing that HIV-1 requires only the transient recruitment of a surprisingly small subset of ESCRT-III components, whose membrane abscission function depends on VPS4 activity.
