As a whole, viruses have evolved a myriad of strategies to exploit cellular compartments and mechanisms to ensure a successful round of infection. For enveloped viruses such as retroviruses and herpesviruses, acquisition and incorporation of cellular membrane is an essential process during the formation of infectious viral particles. To do this, these viruses have evolved to hijack the host Endosomal Sorting Complexes Required for Transport (ESCRT-I, -II, and -III) to coordinate the sculpting of cellular membrane at virus assembly and dissemination sites, in seemingly different, yet fundamentally similar ways. For instance, at the plasma membrane, ESCRT-I recruitment is essential for HIV-1 assembly and budding, while it is dispensable for the release of HSV-1. Further, Citation: Rose, K.M.; Spada, S.J.; HSV-1 was shown to recruit ESCRT-III for nuclear particle assembly and egress, a process not used by Hirsch, V.M.; Bouamr, F. When in retroviruses during replication. Although the cooption of ESCRTs occurs in two separate subcellular Need of an ESCRT: The Nature of compartments and at two distinct steps for these viral lifecycles, the role fulfilled by ESCRTs at these Virus Assembly Sites Suggests sites appears to be conserved. This review discusses recent findings that shed some light on the Mechanistic Parallels between potential parallels between retroviral budding and nuclear egress and proposes a model where HSV-1 Nuclear Virus Egress and Retroviral nuclear egress may occur through an ESCRT-dependent mechanism.

To ensure cargo has been compartmentalized during MVB biogenesis, the endosomal sorting complex required for transport (ESCRT) is recruited to the cargo by virtue of the ubiquitylation signal and directs cargo sorting [2,4].

ALIX interactions with LYPXnL late domains are mediated by the central V domain of ALIX that has a hydrophobic cavity capable of accepting and stabilizing hydrophobic residues from an LYPXnL-containing binding partner [21]. ALIX recruitment by HIV-1 and SIVs with atypical motifs can be accomplished so long as the viruses encode a phenylalanine or tyrosine residue, with the proper flexibility to embed within the V domain of ALIX, independently of the immediate amino acid residues flanking the canonical LYPXnL motif
