Electron cryotomography of ESCRT assemblies and dividing Sulfolobus cells suggests that spiraling filaments are involved in membrane scission

ESCRT filaments wrap helically around liposomes and assemble into various helical structures in vitro. Dividing Sulfolobus cells further exhibit a thin, dynamic belt coating division furrows. Together these data suggest that spiraling filaments are involved in membrane scission.
