Function

SNF7_YEAST Required for the sorting and concentration of proteins resulting in the entry of these proteins into the invaginating vesicles of the multivesicular body (MVB). Acts a component of the ESCRT-III complex, which appears to be critical for late steps in MVB sorting, such as membrane invagination and final cargo sorting and recruitment of late-acting components of the sorting machinery. The MVB pathway requires the sequential function of ESCRT-O, -I,-II and -III complex assemblies. Appears to sequester MVB cargo. Recruits BRO1, which in turn recruits DOA4, which deubiquitinates cargos before their enclosure within MVB vesicles.^{[1] [2]}
