NOTE FROM AUTHORS: We found several alterations between our plasmid and the version on NCBI [Map1lc3b; https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/gene/64862) ].
Our original clone may be a kind of variant.
In the C-terminal end of tfLC3, the stop codon is removed, which causes an additional 17 amino acid residues.
However, the C-terminal end from Gly120, including the 17 amino acids, is immediately cut off by Atg4 protease after the translation.
Therefore that sequence variant will not affect the function of the protein.
