CLATHRIN HEAVY CHAIN PROXIMAL LEG SEGMENT (BOVINE)
Overview
Clathrin is a triskelion-shaped cytoplasmic protein that polymerizes into, a polyhedral lattice on intracellular membranes to form protein-coated, membrane vesicles. Lattice formation induces the sorting of membrane, proteins during endocytosis and organelle biogenesis by interacting with, membrane-associated adaptor molecules. The clathrin triskelion is a trimer, of heavy-chain subunits (1,675 residues), each binding a single, light-chain subunit, in the hub domain (residues 1,074-1,675). Light, chains negatively modulate polymerization so that intracellular clathrin, assembly is adaptor-dependent. Here we report the atomic structure, to 2.6, A resolution, of hub residues 1,210-1,516 involved in mediating, spontaneous clathrin heavy-chain polymerization and light-chain, association. The hub fragment folds into an elongated coil of, alpha-helices, and alignment analyses reveal a 145-residue motif that is, repeated seven times along the filamentous leg and appears in other, proteins involved in vacuolar protein sorting. The resulting model, provides a three-dimensional framework for understanding clathrin, heavy-chain self-assembly, light-chain binding and trimerization.
