The molecular machinery for lysosome biogenesis*

Abstract: The lysosome serves as a site for delivery of materials targeted for removal from the eukaryotic cell. The mechanisms underlying the biogenesis of this organelle are currently the subject of renewed interest due to advances in our understanding of the protein sorting machinery. Genetic model systems such as yeast and Drosophila have been instrumental in identifying both protein and lipid components of this machinery. Importantly, many of these components, as well as the processes in which they are involved, ar… Show more

“…Based on our results and those of others, we assume that the biogenesis of lysosomes is highly ascribed to the membrane traffic at early endosomes. Maturation and/or the 'kiss and run' model, rather than vesicle transport, may be feasible to explain why early endosomal dysfunction severely affects the morphology of lysosomes (Mullins and Bonifacino, 2001;Storrie and Desjardins, 1996).…”

“…The receptors are sorted within the endosomal system and relocalized to the internal vesicles of late endosomes or multivesicular bodies (MVBs), which then fuse with lysosomes. Intraluminal vesicles are then degraded by lipases, and associated proteins are degraded by proteases (Mullins and Bonifacino, 2001;Katzmann et al, 2002). The molecular mechanism for selection of receptors destined for down-regulation seems to be conserved through evolution from yeast to mammals.…”

“…Genetic analyses in yeast have led to the identification of over 70 proteins necessary for the transport and sorting of newly synthesized proteins to the yeast vacuole, an organelle that shares several characteristics with the lysosomes of higher animals 3 . These proteins control two major trafficking pathways from the trans-Golgi network (TGN) to the vacuole, the vacuolar protein sorting (VPS) and the adaptor protein (AP)-3-mediated sorting pathways [4][5][6] . Proteins trafficked via the VPS pathway transit through late endosomes/MVBs en route to the vacuole, whereas the AP-3 pathway mediates transport to the vacuole independently of the late endosomes/ MVBs.…”
