General annotation (Comments)

Function

Probably involved in formation of autophagosomal vacuoles (autophagosomes).

Subunit structure

3 different light chains, LC1, LC2 and LC3, can associate with MAP1A and MAP1B proteins. Interacts at microtubules with CABP1 (via EF-hands 1 and 2) but not with calmodulin. A calcium-dependent binding site is located at the C-terminus while a calcium-independent binding site is located at the N-terminus. Interacts with FYCO1 (via C-terminus) By similarity. Ref.8

Subcellular location

Cytoplasmcytoskeleton. Endomembrane system; Lipid-anchor. Cytoplasmic vesicleautophagosome membrane; Lipid-anchor. Note: LC3-II binds to the autophagic membranes. Ref.6

Tissue specificity

Abundant only in neurons. Detected in testes.

Post-translational modification

The precursor molecule is cleaved by APG4B/ATG4B to form LC3-I. This is activated by APG7L/ATG7, transferred to ATG3 and conjugated to phospholipid to form LC3-II. Ref.6

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the MAP1 LC3 family.

Alternative products

This entry describes 2 isoforms produced by alternative splicing. [Align] [Select]
Isoform 1 (identifier: Q62625-1)
