Abstract excerpt
The three-legged or triskelion shape of clathrin is critical for the formation of polyhedral lattices around clathrin-coated vesicles. Filamentous legs radiate from a common vertex, with amino acids 1550-1615 contributed by each leg to define the trimerization domain (Liu S-H, Wong ML, Craik CS, Brodsky FM. Cell 1995; 83: 257-267). Within this amino acid stretch there are 3 cysteines at positions 1565, 1569 and...
