Description

CHMP1B encodes a component of the ESCRT-III (Endosomal Sorting Complex Required for Transport III) complex, which is essential for multivesicular body (MVB) biogenesis, cytokinesis, and autophagic clearance. The protein localizes to the midbody during cell division and is involved in membrane scission events. Mutations in CHMP1B have been linked to neurodegenerative disorders and cancer.

Mutations & Variants

Hotspot Mutations
Variant Type Frequency Functional Description
c.226C>T (p.Arg76Trp) Missense Rare Impaired ESCRT-III assembly and autophagic flux
c.334G>A (p.Gly112Arg) Missense Rare Reduced protein stability and midbody localization
c.1A>G (p.Met1Val) Start loss Very rare Complete loss of protein expression
Mutation functional classification

Loss of Function (LOF)

Missense and start-loss mutations that reduce protein stability or disrupt ESCRT-III complex formation lead to loss of function.

Gain of Function (GOF)

No evidence of gain-of-function mutations in CHMP1B.

Dominant Negative (DN)

Some missense variants may exert dominant-negative effects by incorporating into ESCRT-III filaments and impairing normal complex dynamics.

Gene Ontology (GO)

• ESCRT III complex • protein transport
• multivesicular body assembly • cytokinesis
• autophagy • membrane fission

Pathways

ESCRT-III pathway
Endosomal sorting

Protein Summary

CHMP1B is a 196-amino-acid protein (UniProt Q7LBR1) that forms part of the ESCRT-III complex. It contains a coiled-coil domain and a C-terminal basic region that mediates membrane binding. The protein is ubiquitously expressed but enriched in brain and testis. It plays a critical role in membrane remodeling during cytokinesis and autophagic clearance of protein aggregates.
