Background: ATG3
ATG3 (autophagy-related protein 3; also APG3-like and PC3-96) is a ubiquitous 45 kDa member of the ATG3 family of proteins. It functions as an E2-like enzyme during the initial stages of autophagosome formation by catalyzing the transfer of ATG7-bound ATG8 (known as LC3, GATE16 and GABA-RAP in mammals) to phosphatidylethanolamine, critical for autophagy. Human ATG3 is 314 amino acids in length and contains an active site at Cys264 that forms a thiol ester bond with the C-terminal Gly of ATG8. There are multiple potential isoform variants. Three show a 22, 28 and 35 aa substitution for aa 289‑314, respectively, while a fourth shows an alternate start site at Met88 that may be accompanied by one of the afore mentioned substitutions. Over aa 1‑287, human ATG3 shares 97.9% aa identity with mouse ATG3.
