CHMP2B is required for dendritic spine maturation; FTD-linked mutants (CHMP2BIntron5 and CHMP2BΔ10) reduce the proportion of mushroom-shaped large spines in hippocampal neurons and decrease frequency and amplitude of spontaneous excitatory postsynaptic currents. RNAi depletion of endogenous CHMP2B phenocopies mutant overexpression, indicating dominant-negative activity. |

Full-length CHMP2B polymerizes into long rigid membrane tubes protruding from the cell surface when VPS4 is depleted; cryo-EM demonstrates CHMP2B forms a tightly packed helical lattice in close association with the inner leaflet of the membrane tube, deforming the lipid bilayer. CHMP4s relocalize to the base of CHMP2B tubes. |

Transgenic mice expressing C-terminally truncated mutant CHMP2B develop neurodegeneration through a gain-of-function mechanism: progressive p62/ubiquitin-positive (TDP-43-negative) inclusions, gliosis, and axonal swellings with amyloid precursor protein accumulation. Knockout mice and wild-type CHMP2B transgenic mice show none of these changes. |

Mutant CHMP2B stably incorporates onto neuronal endolysosomes, rendering them unable to traffic within dendrites. This is mechanistically due to inability of mutant CHMP2B to recruit the ATPase VPS4, which is required for CHMP2B release from endosomal membranes. TMEM106B antisense oligonucleotide treatment rescues both impaired trafficking and increased dendritic branching. |

CHMP2B polymerization on reconstituted membrane nanotubes acts as a diffusion barrier: CHMP2B (full-length and ΔC) preferentially binds membranes containing PI(4,5)P2, accumulates at nanotube necks, and prevents diffusion of PI(4,5)P2 lipids and membrane-bound proteins across the neck. |

CHMP2B binding to membranes is enhanced by PI(4,5)P2 lipids (unlike CHMP2A which requires CHMP3 and lacks lipid specificity); CHMP2B strongly rigidifies membranes upon polymerization while CHMP2A+CHMP3 does not, demonstrating distinct mechanical properties between ESCRT-III isoforms. |

Wild-type CHMP2B contains a nuclear export signal (NES) in its C-terminus that mediates CRM1-dependent nuclear export; the FTD3-causative CHMP2BIntron5 mutation removes this NES, causing mislocalization of CHMP2BIntron5 to the nucleus of iPSC-derived cortical neurons. Site-directed mutagenesis of key hydrophobic residues in the NES abolishes nuclear export. |
