General annotation (Comments)

Function

Involved in formation of autophagosomal vacuoles (autophagosomes).

Subunit structure

3 different light chains, LC1, LC2 and LC3, can associate with MAP1A and MAP1B proteins By similarity. Interacts at microtubules with CABP1 (via EF-hands 1 and 2) but not with calmodulin. Interacts with FYCO1 (via C-terminus). Interacts with TP53INP1 and TP53INP2. Interacts with TBC1D25. Directly interacts with SQSTM1; this interaction leads to MAP1LC3B recruitment to inclusion bodies containing polyubiquitinated protein aggregates and to inclusion body degradation by autophagy. Ref.9 Ref.10 Ref.11 Ref.12 Ref.13

Subcellular location

Cytoplasmcytoskeleton. Endomembrane system; Lipid-anchor. Cytoplasmic vesicleautophagosome membrane; Lipid-anchor. Note: LC3-II binds to the autophagic membranes. Ref.3 Ref.10

Tissue specificity

Most abundant in heart, brain, skeletal muscle and testis. Little expression observed in liver. Ref.3

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 Ref.7

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the MAP1 LC3 family.

Caution

Ref.3 has shown that the protein is cleaved at Lys-122 but Ref.7 has shown that the cleavage site is at Gly-120 as in other mammalian orthologs.
