Clathrin is the scaffold protein of the basket-like coat thatsurrounds coated vesicles. The soluble assembly unit, a triskelion, contains three heavy chains and three light chains in an extended three-legged structure. Each leg contains one heavy and one light chain. The N-terminus of the heavy chain is known as the globular domain, and is composed of seven repeats which form a beta propeller [1].
