CHMP4B was identified as a binding partner of Alix (ALG-2-interacting protein X) through yeast two-hybrid screen, confirmed by GST pull-down and co-immunoprecipitation. CHMP4B co-localizes with Alix in HeLa cells and co-immunoprecipitates with dominant-negative SKD1(E235Q) AAA-ATPase. Overexpression of CHMP4B inhibited endocytosed EGF disappearance and caused accumulation of ubiquitinated proteins, consistent with a role in multivesicular body (MVB) sorting cooperating with SKD1. |

Among the three CHMP4 isoforms (CHMP4a, CHMP4b, CHMP4c), CHMP4B is the major binding partner of Alix, showing stronger direct interaction than CHMP4a or CHMP4c as demonstrated by GST pull-down using recombinant proteins and co-immunoprecipitation from cell lysates. |

CHMP7, a novel ESCRT-III-related protein, directly interacts with CHMP4B through its C-terminal SNF7 domain, as shown by pull-down assay. Overexpression of CHMP4B-GFP relocalized FLAG-CHMP7 from diffuse cytoplasm to cytoplasmic puncta, indicating functional interaction. |

Disease-associated mutations in CHMP4B (D129V and E161K) cause autosomal dominant cataracts. Transfection studies showed that truncated D129V-CHMP4B had altered subcellular distribution compared to wild-type and an increased capacity to inhibit virus-like particle release from the cell surface, consistent with gain-of-function dominant negative effects on ESCRT-III. |

The CHMP4B-docking site and Src-docking site in the Bro1 domain of Alix are autoinhibited in the native cytosolic state of Alix. In HEK-293 cell lysates, these sites are unavailable in cytosolic Alix but available in membrane-bound Alix, indicating that Alix membrane association relieves autoinhibition to enable CHMP4B binding. |

CC2D1A and CC2D1B are direct regulators of CHMP4B, binding with nanomolar affinity in a 1:1 complex. The binding site on CC2D1A was mapped to the third DM14 domain, and the CC2D1A binding site on CHMP4B was mapped to the N-terminal helical hairpin. A crystal structure of the CHMP4B helical hairpin identified two surface patches involved in CC2D1A interaction. CC2D1A binding to CHMP4B prevents CHMP4B polymerization in vitro. Mutations at the CC2D1A-binding surface of CHMP4B abolished its dominant negative effect on HIV-1 budding, suggesting this surface is required for CHMP4B polymerization. |

Hydrophobic residues in the CHMP4B C-terminal amphipathic α-helix bind a concave surface of Brox (a mammalian Alix paralog). Crystal/structural analysis showed the CHMP4B C-terminal tail adopts an α-helical conformation when bound to Brox, at the same site used by CHMP5 (which binds via a β-hairpin). This defines a shared but conformationally distinct binding surface on Brox for ESCRT-III proteins. |

Anillin-septin complex is required for the recruitment of CHMP4B to the abscission site during cytokinesis. Using live imaging and subdiffraction microscopy, the anillin-septin cytoskeleton drives intercellular bridge elongation and maturation, which primes the bridge for CHMP4B assembly at the abscission site. |

CHMP4B not only localizes to cytokinetic bridges but also to chromosome bridges and micronuclei (the latter surrounded by lysosomes and autophagosomes), and can be co-immunoprecipitated with chromatin. A cataract-associated CHMP4B mutation abolishes its ability to localize to micronuclei, suggesting this localization is mutation-sensitive. |

Conditional knockdown of CHMP4B in mouse lens results in arrest of lens growth and differentiation, with lens fiber cell degeneration (shown by AQP0 immunolocalization) and cell death (TUNEL). Homozygous knock-in of the cataract-associated D129V mutation causes embryonic lethality by E15.5 with abnormal eye and brain histology, indicating CHMP4B is essential for lens development. |

CHMP4B localizes to primary cilia in mammalian cells and is required for cilium assembly and maintenance of ciliary structural integrity. Knockdown of CHMP4B caused defective cilium assembly and fragmentation of pre-existing cilia. Morpholino-mediated depletion in zebrafish induced ciliopathy phenotypes (curved body axis, hydrocephalus, otolith malformation, kidney cysts), independently of ESCRT-dependent endocytic degradation. |

In ALS neurons, neither CHMP4B nor CHMP2B show increased nuclear accumulation (in contrast to CHMP7 and VPS4), indicating that CHMP4B is not a primary driver of nuclear pore complex injury in ALS despite CHMP7's known role in recruiting ESCRT-III subunits for nuclear envelope/NPC repair. |

HSP90β directly interacts with CHMP4B as a client protein. HSP90β silencing causes upregulation of CHMP4B and p53; CHMP4B upregulation/overexpression induces excessive division of lens epithelial cells without differentiation, triggering apoptosis via the p53/Bak-Bim pathway and causing cataractogenesis and microphthalmia in zebrafish. Simultaneous silencing of both HSP90β and CHMP4B restored the normal eye phenotype. |

CHMP4B interacts with GSDMD (gasdermin D) and VPS4A, as shown by co-immunoprecipitation. CHMP4B and VPS4A puncta co-localize at injured plasma membranes in GSDMD-N-terminus-expressing cells. Depletion of CHMP4B enhanced pyroptotic indicators (PI-positive cells, Ca2+ efflux, IL-1β, LDH release), while overexpression attenuated them, demonstrating CHMP4B mediates membrane repair to reverse GSDMD-induced pyroptosis. |

PRP4K kinase controls splicing of CHMP4B pre-mRNA; loss of PRP4K causes mis-splicing and reduced expression of CHMP4B in human cells. CHMP4B is required for autophagosome-lysosome fusion; re-expression of CHMP4B cDNA in PRP4K-deficient cells restores normal autophagosome-lysosome fusion, placing CHMP4B downstream of PRP4K in an evolutionarily conserved splicing circuit regulating autophagy. |

GAS2L3 localizes to the midbody and recruits CHMP4B to the abscission site. GAS2L3 undergoes liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS) via its intrinsically disordered region (IDR) and scaffolds CHMP4B condensate formation at the midbody through phase separation. GAS2L3 knockdown or IDR deletion leads to defective CHMP4B recruitment, defective cytokinesis, and G1 arrest. |

CHMP4B binds PI(3,5)P2 (a lysosomal phosphoinositide) as demonstrated by liposome sedimentation assay. Forced recruitment of Pikfyve (the PI(3,5)P2-generating kinase) to early endosomes recruits a fraction of CHMP4B to early endosomes. A CHMP4B mutant defective in PI(3,5)P2 binding cannot restore microautophagic STING degradation or resolution of STING signaling in Chmp4b-depleted cells, establishing a PI(3,5)P2/CHMP4B axis on lysosomes as essential for STING encapsulation by lysosomes. |

Dual-protein imaging revealed disrupted coordination between CHMP4B and other ESCRT-III subunits in CHMP2A-deficient cells, supporting an ordered/hierarchical assembly of ESCRT-III subunits in which CHMP2A acts upstream of CHMP4B during abscission. |
