Q

How lysosomes form:

A
  1. phosphate attaches to a sugar (mannose residue).
  2. Mannose-6-phosphate forms a sorting signal that moves through the cisternae to the trans region where it binds to a specific receptor.
  3. Mannose-6-phosphate begins to bud and a “coat” made of clathrin forms to strengthen it.
  4. The bud “pinches off” to fuse with a late endosome.
  5. phosphate is removed and hydrolase is dissociated from the receptor.
  6. the receptor is recycled back to the Golgi complex.
