Gene Description

CLTC encodes clathrin heavy chain 1 (CHC17), the major structural component of clathrin-coated vesicles. CHC17 forms triskelia composed of three heavy chains and three light chains that polymerize into polyhedral lattices at the plasma membrane and trans-Golgi network. The protein contains an N-terminal WD40-like beta-propeller domain (terminal domain) that serves as the primary adaptor binding site, seven clathrin heavy-chain repeat (CHCR) domains forming the leg, and a C-terminal hub/trimerization domain. Core functions include: (1) clathrin-mediated endocytosis at the plasma membrane via AP-2 adaptor interaction; (2) intracellular trafficking at the TGN via AP-1 and GGA adaptors; (3) mitotic spindle stabilization through TACC3/ch-TOG/clathrin complex formation at kinetochore fibers. Recent evidence (2024) suggests clathrin also actively constricts membrane pores during fission, beyond its traditional coat function.

GO Term Evidence Action Reason
GO:0071439 clathrin complex
IBA
GO_REF:0000033
ACCEPT
Summary: CHC17 is the defining component of the clathrin complex, forming triskelia with three heavy chains and three clathrin light chains. Cryo-EM studies confirm the conserved hub structure for trimerization and variable leg conformations enabling different cage architectures [PMID:31611653 morris2019cryoemofmultiple].
Reason: This is a core structural annotation. CHC17 assembles with light chains (CLTA/CLTB) into triskelia that are the fundamental building blocks of clathrin coats. UniProt confirms "Clathrin triskelions, composed of 3 heavy chains and 3 light chains, are the basic subunits of the clathrin coat."

GO:0006898 receptor-mediated endocytosis
IBA
GO_REF:0000033
ACCEPT
Summary: Receptor-mediated endocytosis (RME) is the canonical function of CHC17-containing clathrin coats at the plasma membrane. The N-terminal domain binds AP-2 adaptors that recruit cargo receptors. Deep research confirms CHC17 drives clathrin-mediated endocytosis in all cells [greig2024chc22clathrinrecruitment].
Reason: This is the core biological process for CLTC. RME via clathrin-coated pits is essential for nutrient uptake, signaling receptor downregulation, and pathogen entry. Experimental evidence includes siRNA knockdown reducing transferrin uptake (PMID:14985334) and EGF receptor internalization defects.
GO:0005819 spindle
IBA
GO_REF:0000033
ACCEPT
Summary: CHC17 localizes to the mitotic spindle where it forms a complex with TACC3 and ch-TOG (CKAP5) that stabilizes kinetochore fibers through inter-microtubule bridging [PMID:15858577, PMID:21297582].
Reason: Non-endocytic spindle function is well-documented. PMID:15858577 showed clathrin is required for mitotic spindle function via direct localization studies. UniProt confirms localization to "Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, spindle."
GO:0000278 mitotic cell cycle
IBA
GO_REF:0000033
KEEP AS NON CORE
Summary: CHC17 participates in mitosis through spindle stabilization. The TACC3/ch-TOG/clathrin complex maintains kinetochore fiber tension required for proper chromosome segregation [PMID:23532825].
Reason: While the mitotic function is genuine, it is secondary to the primary vesicle trafficking role. The term is appropriately general for this moonlighting function, which occurs in dividing cells but is not the defining activity of clathrin.
GO:0032051 clathrin light chain binding
IBA
GO_REF:0000033
ACCEPT
Summary: CHC17 binds clathrin light chains (CLTA and CLTB) through the proximal leg region (residues 1213-1522 per UniProt). This interaction is essential for triskelion assembly and coat stability.
Reason: Core molecular function. UniProt explicitly defines the light chain binding region and notes that "hub assembly is influenced by both the pH and the concentration of calcium" in the presence of light chains.
GO:0045334 clathrin-coated endocytic vesicle
IBA
GO_REF:0000033
ACCEPT
Summary: CHC17 is the defining coat protein of clathrin-coated endocytic vesicles formed at the plasma membrane. These vesicles internalize cargo from the cell surface.
Reason: Core cellular component annotation. Clathrin-coated vesicles at the plasma membrane are the functional units of clathrin-mediated endocytosis, and CHC17 is their essential structural component.
GO:0048268 clathrin coat assembly
IBA
GO_REF:0000033
ACCEPT
Summary: CHC17 polymerizes to form the clathrin lattice during coat assembly. The universal mode of self-assembly involves hexagonal and pentagonal tiling enabled by leg flexibility [morris2019cryoemofmultiple].
Reason: Core biological process. Coat assembly is the fundamental activity of clathrin heavy chain, driven by triskelia self-association into polyhedral lattices.
GO:0005198 structural molecule activity
IEA
GO_REF:0000002
ACCEPT
Summary: CHC17 provides the structural scaffold for clathrin-coated pits and vesicles. The heavy chain repeat domains form the arms of the triskelion that polymerize into cage-like structures.
Reason: Appropriate molecular function annotation. The primary activity of clathrin heavy chain is structural - providing the scaffold for vesicle formation. This is complementary to more specific binding functions.
GO:0005802 trans-Golgi network
IEA
GO_REF:0000117
ACCEPT
Summary: CHC17 localizes to the trans-Golgi network where it participates in vesicle formation for lysosomal and secretory pathways via AP-1 and GGA adaptors.
Reason: Core localization. TGN trafficking is a well-established function of CHC17, distinct from but parallel to its plasma membrane endocytic function. UniProt lists "trans-Golgi network membrane" as a confirmed location.
GO:0005819 spindle
IEA
GO_REF:0000044
ACCEPT
Summary: Duplicate of IBA annotation. CHC17 localizes to the mitotic spindle as part of the TACC3/ch-TOG/clathrin complex [PMID:15858577, PMID:21297582].
Reason: Valid localization supported by multiple experimental studies. IEA annotation is consistent with IBA and IDA evidence for spindle localization.
GO:0005905 clathrin-coated pit
IEA
GO_REF:0000043
ACCEPT
Summary: CHC17 is the defining structural component of clathrin-coated pits at the plasma membrane. These are the sites of cargo concentration and vesicle budding during CME.
Reason: Core localization. UniProt confirms "Cytoplasmic face of coated pits and vesicles." Clathrin-coated pits are the assembly sites where clathrin coats form on the plasma membrane before vesicle scission.
GO:0006886 intracellular protein transport
IEA
GO_REF:0000002
ACCEPT
Summary: CHC17 mediates intracellular protein transport via clathrin-coated vesicles at both the plasma membrane and TGN. This includes receptor recycling and lysosomal enzyme targeting.
Reason: Appropriate parent term for clathrin's trafficking functions. While more specific terms exist (receptor-mediated endocytosis, retrograde transport), this captures the general role in vesicular transport.
GO:0006898 receptor-mediated endocytosis
IEA
GO_REF:0000117
ACCEPT
Summary: Duplicate annotation of the core CME function via ARBA machine learning. Consistent with the IBA annotation and experimental evidence.
Reason: Core function annotation. Redundant with IBA but correctly identifies the primary biological process.
GO:0006914 autophagy
IEA
GO_REF:0000043
MARK AS OVER ANNOTATED
Summary: This annotation derives from UniProt keyword mapping. UniProt notes interaction with ATG16L1 and "a role in early autophagosome formation" based on PMID:20639872. However, this represents an indirect/accessory role rather than a core autophagy function.
Reason: The deep research review found no direct autophagy function for CLTC. While clathrin may contribute plasma membrane to early autophagosomes (PMID:20639872), this is peripheral to clathrin's core endocytic function. The primary role of CHC17 is vesicular trafficking, not autophagy. This annotation could mislead users into thinking autophagy is a core function.
GO:0016020 membrane
IEA
GO_REF:0000044
ACCEPT
Summary: CHC17 associates with membranes as a peripheral membrane protein during coat formation. It localizes to the cytoplasmic face of coated pits and vesicles.
Reason: General but accurate localization. More specific membrane compartment terms are also present (plasma membrane, TGN membrane, etc.), but this general term captures the membrane association.
GO:0016192 vesicle-mediated transport
IEA
GO_REF:0000002
ACCEPT
Summary: CHC17 is essential for clathrin-mediated vesicular transport pathways including endocytosis and TGN-to-lysosome trafficking.
Reason: Appropriate parent term for clathrin's transport functions. This captures the general role in vesicle-based trafficking.
GO:0030130 clathrin coat of trans-Golgi network vesicle
IEA
GO_REF:0000002
ACCEPT
Summary: CHC17 forms the coat of clathrin-coated vesicles at the TGN, working with AP-1 and GGA adaptors for lysosomal enzyme sorting and secretory pathway trafficking.
Reason: Core localization for TGN function. This is a well-established site of clathrin coat formation distinct from plasma membrane CME.
GO:0030132 clathrin coat of coated pit
IEA
GO_REF:0000002
ACCEPT
Summary: CHC17 is the structural component of the clathrin coat that forms at coated pits during vesicle budding.
Reason: Core cellular component. This is precisely where clathrin performs its primary structural function during endocytosis.
GO:0030136 clathrin-coated vesicle
IEA
GO_REF:0000117
ACCEPT
Summary: CHC17 is the defining structural component of clathrin-coated vesicles, the transport carriers formed by clathrin coat assembly.
Reason: Core localization. Clathrin-coated vesicles are the product of clathrin coat assembly and the transport units for CME and TGN trafficking.
GO:0030659 cytoplasmic vesicle membrane
IEA
GO_REF:0000044
ACCEPT
Summary: CHC17 associates with cytoplasmic vesicle membranes as a peripheral membrane protein forming the coat structure.
Reason: Appropriate general localization term for clathrin's association with intracellular vesicular membranes.
GO:0031410 cytoplasmic vesicle
IEA
GO_REF:0000043
ACCEPT
Summary: CHC17 localizes to cytoplasmic vesicles as the coat protein of clathrin-coated vesicles.
Reason: Appropriate general localization. More specific clathrin-coated vesicle terms are also present but this captures the general vesicular association.
GO:0032051 clathrin light chain binding
IEA
GO_REF:0000002
ACCEPT
Summary: Duplicate of IBA annotation. CHC17 binds clathrin light chains through the proximal leg region (residues 1213-1522).
Reason: Core molecular function. IEA annotation is consistent with IBA evidence.
GO:0042147 retrograde transport, endosome to Golgi
IEA
GO_REF:0000117
ACCEPT
Summary: CHC17 participates in retrograde transport pathways. This is supported by experimental evidence (PMID:20065094).
Reason: Secondary trafficking function. While not as prominent as anterograde endocytic trafficking, clathrin does participate in retrograde pathways.
GO:0042470 melanosome
IEA
GO_REF:0000044
KEEP AS NON CORE
Summary: CHC17 was identified in melanosome fractions by mass spectrometry (PMID:17081065). UniProt notes identification "in melanosome fractions from stage I to stage IV."
Reason: Tissue/cell-type specific localization. Melanosomes are specialized lysosome-related organelles, and clathrin's presence likely reflects its role in cargo trafficking to these organelles rather than a melanosome-specific function.
GO:0051301 cell division
IEA
GO_REF:0000043
KEEP AS NON CORE
Summary: CHC17 participates in cell division through its role in mitotic spindle stabilization via the TACC3/ch-TOG/clathrin complex.
Reason: Secondary function. The mitotic spindle role is genuine but represents a moonlighting function distinct from the core vesicular trafficking activities.
GO:0071439 clathrin complex
IEA

Core Functions

CHC17 is the major structural component of clathrin-coated pits and vesicles at the plasma membrane. It forms triskelia with light chains that polymerize into polyhedral lattices to drive cargo internalization via AP-2 adaptor complexes.

CHC17 assembles with clathrin light chains (CLTA, CLTB) into triskelia, the fundamental building blocks of clathrin coats. The heavy chain provides the structural arms while light chains regulate assembly dynamics.

Molecular Function:
clathrin light chain binding
Directly Involved In:
Cellular Locations:

CHC17 functions at the TGN for lysosomal enzyme sorting and secretory pathway trafficking via AP-1 and GGA adaptor complexes.

CHC17 participates in mitosis through the TACC3/ch-TOG/clathrin complex that stabilizes kinetochore fibers by inter-microtubule bridging. This represents a well-documented moonlighting function.

Question

Gene Research for Functional Annotation

⚠️ CRITICAL: Gene/Protein Identification Context

BEFORE YOU BEGIN RESEARCH: You MUST verify you are researching the CORRECT gene/protein. Gene symbols can be ambiguous, especially for less well-characterized genes from non-model organisms.

Target Gene/Protein Identity (from UniProt):

  • UniProt Accession: Q00610
  • Protein Description: RecName: Full=Clathrin heavy chain 1 {ECO:0000303|PubMed:26822784, ECO:0000303|PubMed:29100083}; AltName: Full=Clathrin heavy chain on chromosome 17; Short=CLH-17;
  • Gene Information: Name=CLTC {ECO:0000303|PubMed:26822784, ECO:0000303|PubMed:29100083, ECO:0000312|HGNC:HGNC:2092}; Synonyms=CLH17, CLTCL2, KIAA0034;
  • Organism (full): Homo sapiens (Human).
  • Protein Family: Belongs to the clathrin heavy chain family. .
  • Key Domains: ARM-type_fold. (IPR016024); CHCR. (IPR055358); Clathrin_H-chain/VPS_repeat. (IPR000547); Clathrin_H-chain_linker_core. (IPR015348); Clathrin_H-chain_N. (IPR016025)

MANDATORY VERIFICATION STEPS:

  1. Check if the gene symbol "CLTC" matches the protein description above
  2. Verify the organism is correct: Homo sapiens (Human).
  3. Check if protein family/domains align with what you find in literature
  4. If you find literature for a DIFFERENT gene with the same or similar symbol, STOP

If Gene Symbol is Ambiguous or You Cannot Find Relevant Literature:

DO NOT PROCEED WITH RESEARCH ON A DIFFERENT GENE. Instead:
- State clearly: "The gene symbol 'CLTC' is ambiguous or literature is limited for this specific protein"
- Explain what you found (e.g., "Found extensive literature on a different gene with the same symbol in a different organism")
- Describe the protein based ONLY on the UniProt information provided above
- Suggest that the protein function can be inferred from domain/family information

Research Target:

Please provide a comprehensive research report on the gene CLTC (gene ID: CLTC, UniProt: Q00610) in human.

The research report should be a detailed narrative explaining the function, biological processes, and localization of the gene product. Citations should be given for all claims.

You should prioritize authoritative reviews and primary scientific literature when conducting research. You can supplement
this with annotations you find in gene/protein databases, but these can be outdated or inaccurate.

We are specifically interested in the primary function of the gene - for enzymes, what reaction is catalyzed, and what is the substrate specificity? For transporters, what is the substrate? For structural proteins or adapters, what is the broader structural role? For signaling molecules, what is the role in the pathway.

We are interested in where in or outside the cell the gene product carries out its function.

We are also interested in the signaling or biochemical pathways in which the gene functions. We are less interested in broad pleiotropic effects, except where these elucidate the precise role.

Include evidence where possible. We are interested in both experimental evidence as well as inference from structure, evolution, or bioinformatic analysis. Precise studies should be prioritized over high-throughput, where available.

Plan status and target verification
- Identity check: The target is human CLTC (UniProt Q00610), encoding clathrin heavy chain 1 (CHC17). Evidence from clinical and mechanistic literature explicitly refers to human CLTC/CHC17 and its domains (N-terminal terminal/WD40 domain, clathrin heavy-chain repeat [CHCR/VPS] legs, C-terminal hub/trimerization domain) forming clathrin triskelia with light chains; this matches the UniProt description and domain architecture provided. No conflicting organism or alternative gene was used. (cheng2023anovelde pages 5-7, morris2019cryoemofmultiple pages 1-12, sa2020denovocltc pages 1-2)

Comprehensive research report: CLTC (CHC17)

Key concepts and definitions
- Molecular identity and assembly: CLTC encodes the clathrin heavy chain 1 (CHC17), which assembles as a triskelion composed of three heavy chains and three light chains. The heavy chain contains an N-terminal terminal domain (WD40/β-propeller) that binds adaptor proteins, repeating CHCR/VPS arm segments along the leg, and a C‑terminal hub/trimerization domain required for trimer formation. Cryo‑EM of assembled cages defines a conserved consensus hub and variable leg conformations that enable different cage architectures (hexagon/pentagon tiling) while maintaining a universal mode of self‑assembly. Publication: Oct 2019; URL: https://doi.org/10.1038/s41594-019-0292-0. Additional domain mapping and truncation effects were shown in Dec 2023 prenatal case work. Publication: Dec 2023; URL: https://doi.org/10.1186/s12920-023-01778-3. (morris2019cryoemofmultiple pages 1-12, cheng2023anovelde pages 5-7)
- Uncoating mechanism: Following vesicle formation, auxilin recruits Hsc70 to the clathrin lattice; ATP‑driven Hsc70 action generates mechanical forces that destabilize the lattice and drive disassembly, consistent with collision‑pressure/entropic mechanisms for Hsp70 force generation. Publications: Aug 2016; URL: https://doi.org/10.1038/nsmb.3272; 2024 review summarizing auxilin/Hsc70 and synaptojanin roles. (sengupta2024structuralinsightsinto pages 24-28)

Recent developments and latest research (2023–2024)
- Revised mechanistic model—clathrin as a fission protein: In live neuroendocrine chromaffin cells, polymerized clathrin localized at the base/neck of Ω‑profile pits actively constricts pores and mediates pore closure, revising the classical view that dynamin alone executes fission. Modeling supports that clathrin’s intrinsic curvature generates constrictive forces; clathrin was essential for fast and slow endocytosis at hippocampal synapses, suggesting broad neuronal relevance. Publication: Jun 2024; URL: https://doi.org/10.1038/s41421-024-00677-w. (wei2024clathrinmediatesmembrane pages 1-2)
- Isoform distinctions—CHC17 (CLTC) vs CHC22 (CLTCL1): CHC17 carries out endocytosis and housekeeping membrane traffic in all cells, engaging adaptor AP‑2 and others at the plasma membrane. CHC22, by contrast, is specialized for GLUT4 trafficking: it is recruited to the ERGIC via a bipartite mechanism whereby its C‑terminal trimerization/hub region binds SNX5 (with SNX6 redundancy) and an isoform‑specific N‑terminal patch binds p115, targeting CHC22 to mediate GLUT4 sorting to the insulin‑responsive GLUT4 storage compartment (GSC). Publication: Aug 2024; URL: https://doi.org/10.1038/s44318-024-00198-y. (greig2024chc22clathrinrecruitment pages 1-2, greig2024chc22clathrinrecruitment pages 14-15, greig2024chc22clathrinrecruitment pages 8-9, greig2024chc22clathrinrecruitment pages 13-14, greig2024chc22clathrinrecruitment pages 19-21)
- Structural context: Cryo‑EM studies continue to support a universal self‑assembly mode across multiple cage geometries, with a consensus hub and variable leg conformations accommodating vesicle size/shape diversity (Oct 2019). Publication: Oct 2019; URL: https://doi.org/10.1038/s41594-019-0292-0. (morris2019cryoemofmultiple pages 1-12)
- Virus entry via CME: Human coronavirus 229E (HCoV‑229E) utilizes clathrin‑mediated endocytosis for entry into Huh‑7 cells; pharmacologic CME inhibition and AP‑2 μ subunit CRISPR knockout reduced infection by >50%, and entry required endosomal acidification.

Expert opinions and analysis from authoritative sources
- EMBO Journal (Brodsky/Cullen teams) position CHC17 as the canonical clathrin driving endocytosis/housekeeping traffic and define CHC22’s distinct early secretory pathway targeting via SNX5/p115 to support GLUT4 storage compartment biogenesis, highlighting isoform‑specific recruitment logic and partitioned physiological roles. Publication: Aug 2024; URL: https://doi.org/10.1038/s44318-024-00198-y. (greig2024chc22clathrinrecruitment pages 1-2, greig2024chc22clathrinrecruitment pages 13-14)
- Cell Discovery 2024 proposes a paradigm shift by identifying clathrin as a fission protein that constricts pores in diverse endocytic modes; this perspective suggests reevaluating classifications of “clathrin‑independent” endocytosis that may still rely on clathrin’s pore‑closure function in certain cells.

Relevant statistics and data from recent studies
- Neurodevelopmental disorder spectrum: In a combined cohort of 27 individuals (13 newly reported plus 14 prior), all had intellectual disability (mild–severe). Among the 13 newly reported, epilepsy occurred in 5/13, and brain structural anomalies were present in 8/10 with imaging, including corpus callosum hypoplasia (5/8) and microcephaly (3/13). CLTC is highly constrained (pLI = 1.00; missense z‑score = 8.09); missense/in‑frame deletions tended to cluster within CHCR repeats and were associated with more severe phenotypes, suggesting dominant‑negative effects, whereas truncating variants likely act via haploinsufficiency. Publication: Apr 2020; URL: https://doi.org/10.1038/s41436-019-0703-y. (sa2020denovocltc pages 1-2, sa2020denovocltc pages 5-6)
- Prenatal presentation: A de novo splice‑site variant c.3249+1G>C produced a truncated CLTC and loss of protein; fetal ultrasound showed bilateral choroid plexus cysts, hyperechogenic kidneys, and ventricular septal defect, expanding the CLTC prenatal phenotype spectrum. Publication: Dec 2023; URL: https://doi.org/10.1186/s12920-023-01778-3. (cheng2023anovelde pages 5-7)
- Functional disease mechanism (variant modeling): The recurrent p.Pro890Leu variant reduces transferrin uptake in patient fibroblasts and causes broad synaptic transmission defects in C. elegans models; a severe human variant (p.Leu1047Pro) maps to the heavy chain leg and produced stronger phenotypes in vivo, supporting genotype–phenotype correlations. Publication: May 2023; URL: https://doi.org/10.3389/fnmol.2023.1170061. (pannone2023therecurrentpathogenic pages 8-10)
- Oncogenic fusions and TKI response: In ALK‑positive large B‑cell lymphoma, a case bearing CDK14‑ALK and CLTC‑ALK fusions developed progressive disease after ~5.5 months on crizotinib with an increased abundance of CLTC‑ALK; switching to alectinib led to partial response maintained for 21 months, suggesting fusion variant context influences TKI sensitivity. Publication: Oct 2023; URL: https://doi.org/10.1080/15384047.2023.2271212. (greig2024chc22clathrinrecruitment pages 8-9)
- Viral entry dependency on CME: AP‑2 μ knockout reduced HCoV‑229E infection by >50% in Huh‑7 cells; lysosomotropic agents that block endosomal acidification similarly reduced entry, quantifying CME involvement. Publication: Sep 2024; URL: https://doi.org/10.3390/biom14101232. (zhang2025targetingclathrinmediatedendocytosis pages 15-16)

Cellular functions, pathways, and localization
- Primary function and pathways: CHC17 scaffolds clathrin coats that capture cargo via adaptor proteins (e.g., AP‑2 at the plasma membrane) to drive clathrin‑mediated endocytosis; it participates in intracellular trafficking at the TGN/early secretory pathway (shared adaptors/AP‑1, GGAs) and in synaptic vesicle recycling. Structural data support adaptor interactions through the N‑terminal terminal domain and trimerization via the C‑terminal hub. Publications: Oct 2019; URL: https://doi.org/10.1038/s41594-019-0292-0; Apr 2020; URL: https://doi.org/10.1038/s41436-019-0703-y. (morris2019cryoemofmultiple pages 1-12, sa2020denovocltc pages 1-2)
- Mitosis: CHC17 contributes to mitotic spindle organization and k‑fiber stabilization; recent spindle literature situates CHC17 within networks that localize and modulate Aurora‑A/TACC3 activities impacting spindle assembly and centrosome function. Publication: Apr 2020 overview; URL: https://doi.org/10.1038/s41436-019-0703-y. (sa2020denovocltc pages 1-2)
- Subcellular localization: CHC17 localizes to plasma membrane coated pits/vesicles, endosomal and TGN/ERGIC compartments, and mitotic spindle regions; in live cells, CHC accumulates at vesicle necks/Ω‑profiles where it can constrict pores and promote fission. Publication: Jun 2024; URL: https://doi.org/10.1038/s41421-024-00677-w. (wei2024clathrinmediatesmembrane pages 1-2, sa2020denovocltc pages 1-2)

Disease relevance
- Neurodevelopmental disorders: De novo CLTC variants produce a variable neurodevelopmental phenotype with ID, epilepsy, microcephaly, and callosal hypoplasia. Constraints (pLI/missense z‑score) and variant clustering support a pathogenic model involving both dominant‑negative missense/in‑frame changes and haploinsufficiency from truncating alleles; prenatal anomalies can be detected.

- Parkinsonism spectrum: Adult carriers of pathogenic CLTC variants have been reported with parkinsonism evolving from earlier neurodevelopmental phenotypes, underscoring the need for protracted clinical follow‑up; this extends the CLTC‑related disorder spectrum into movement disorders. Publication: Apr 2024; URL: https://doi.org/10.1002/mdc3.14039. (pannone2023therecurrentpathogenic pages 8-10)
- Oncogenic fusions: CLTC rearrangements (e.g., CLTC::ALK in ALK+ large B‑cell lymphoma) drive constitutive kinase activation; clinical response may vary by fusion partner context, with case evidence of crizotinib resistance and alectinib response.

  label: Homo sapiens
description: >-
  CLTC encodes clathrin heavy chain 1 (CHC17), the major structural component of clathrin-coated
  vesicles. CHC17 forms triskelia composed of three heavy chains and three light chains
  that
  polymerize into polyhedral lattices at the plasma membrane and trans-Golgi network.
  The protein
  contains an N-terminal WD40-like beta-propeller domain (terminal domain) that serves
  as the primary
  adaptor binding site, seven clathrin heavy-chain repeat (CHCR) domains forming the
  leg, and a
  C-terminal hub/trimerization domain. Core functions include: (1) clathrin-mediated
  endocytosis
  at the plasma membrane via AP-2 adaptor interaction; (2) intracellular trafficking
  at the TGN
  via AP-1 and GGA adaptors; (3) mitotic spindle stabilization through TACC3/ch-TOG/clathrin
  complex formation at kinetochore fibers. Recent evidence (2024) suggests clathrin
  also actively
  constricts membrane pores during fission, beyond its traditional coat function.

    description: >-
      CHC17 is the major structural component of clathrin-coated pits and vesicles
      at the plasma membrane. It forms triskelia with light chains that polymerize
      into polyhedral lattices to drive cargo internalization via AP-2 adaptor
      complexes.

        label: clathrin complex
    description: >-
      CHC17 assembles with clathrin light chains (CLTA, CLTB) into triskelia,
      the fundamental building blocks of clathrin coats. The heavy chain provides
      the structural arms while light chains regulate assembly dynamics.

    description: >-
      CHC17 participates in mitosis through the TACC3/ch-TOG/clathrin complex
      that stabilizes kinetochore fibers by inter-microtubule bridging.
      This represents a well-documented moonlighting function.
