33
Q

what does the phosphotase do to M6P (mannose-6-phosphate) residues?

A

removes the phosphate to prevent rebinding to M6P receptors

34
Q

how are early endosomes generated?

A

generated by receptor mediated endocytosis

35
Q

what do early endosomes fuse with and what occurs?

A

with late endosomes which then either transition to a lysosome or fuses with existing lysosomes (more likely)

36
Q

what is autophagy?

A

a process of lysosomes that is a pathway that allows cytosolic proteins and organelles to be delivered to the lysosomial interior for degredation

37
Q

what is a phagophore?

A

a double membrane structure that envelops an organelle to produce-membrane sequestering vesicle called an autophagosome and the enclosed contents are degraded

38
Q

what causes lysosome storage diseases?

A

caused by deficiency of a lysosomal enzyme which results in accumulation of material in the lysosome

A

a disease where glycogen accumulates in the liver, heart or skeletal muscles
