Comments
In trabecular meshwork (TM) cells in the anterior chamber of eye, the protein LC3 accumulates 2-3 fold more in puncta (nucleolus) in the nucleus in response to cyclic mechanical stress. LMB increases the size of LC3 nuclear puncta. Transduced LC3 is cytoplasmic, but LMB treatment leads to LC3 in nuclear puncta. Drake et al. have previously found a putative NES in residue 63-73, however mutation to the NES did not change localization of EGFP-LC3. The same paper also found that the protein is not LMB sensitive. Ref.2Nucleocytoplasmic Distribution and Dynamics of the Autophagosome Marker EGFP-LC3, Drake et al., PLoS One, 2010

User Input
Accurate identification of NESs is difficult because many sequences in the genome match the NES consensus. Therefore, some published NESs may be mistakenly identified. Please help us improve the accuracy of NESdb by providing either a positive or negative flag for the NES in this entry. Supporting comments are required to process the flag.
