The charged multivesicular body proteins, commonly designated CHMPs, belong to the vacuolar sorting protein family and function as chromatin-modifying proteins. CHMP1-6 are all components of ESCRT (endosomal sorting complex required for transport) I, II or III complexes. These complexes are crucial for sorting endosomal articles into multivesicular bodies (MVBs) and are also required for the formation of these bodies. CHMP2, also known as BC-2, associates directly with Vps4 for the disassembly of ESCRT-III complex in an ATP-dependant manner. During HIV-1 infection, the virus uses the ESCRT-III complex to mediate budding and exocytosis of viral proteins. Overexpression of CHMP2 strongly inhibits HIV-1 release.
