title: ESCRT and calpain--old and new relationships.
abstract: Apparently unrelated systems often merge and work together to achieve diverse biological functions. This minireview series was aimed to unveil new facets of ESCRTs and calpains: ESCRT proteins in MVB formation, virus budding and cell division; the ambient pH sensing and adaptation in association with ESCRTs and the calpain system; evolutionary and physical linkage between calpains and PEF proteins.
