FOCUS ON ENDOCYTOREVIEWSSIS Lysosome biogenesis and lysosomal membrane proteins: trafficking meets function Paul Saftig* and Judith Klumperman‡ Abstract | Lysosomes are the primary catabolic compartments of eukaryotic cells. They degrade extracellular material that has been internalized by endocytosis and intracellular components that have been sequestered by autophagy. In addition, specialized cells contain lysosome-related organelles that store and secrete proteins for cell-type-specific functions. The functioning of a healthy cell is dependent on the proper targeting of newly synthesized lysosomal proteins. Accumulating evidence suggests that there are multiple lysosomal delivery pathways that together allow the regulated and sequential deposition of lysosomal components. The importance of lysosomal trafficking pathways is emphasized by recent findings that reveal new roles for lysosomal membrane proteins in cellular physiology and in an increasing number of diseases that are characterized by defects in lysosome biogenesis. Lysosome-related organelle Lysosomes are ubiquitous organelles that constitute the limiting membrane and have diverse functions, including (LRO).

The macroautophagy pathway mediates the turnover of cytoplasmic components, such as organelles and large complexes, and is involved in cell death and proliferation. Macroautophagy depends on the fusion of lysosomes with autophagosomes to create autolysosomes, in which degradation occurs. Macroautophagy and chaperone-mediated autophagy, a direct lysosomal transport process for cytosolic proteins, are regulated by lysosome-associated membrane proteins (LAMPs). Lysosomal exocytosis and plasma membrane repair are Ca2+ and synaptotagmin 7 (SYT7)-dependent fusion events, which are possibly involved in pathogen entry, autoimmunity and neurite outgrowth. The lysosomal cell death pathway is triggered by a release of lysosomal cathepsins through an unknown mechanism. Cellular cholesterol homeostasis is controlled by lysosomal cholesterol efflux through Niemann–Pick C1 protein (NPC1). Major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II-dependent antigen presentation requires lysosomal proteases and membrane proteins. The release of exosomes is thought to be involved in adaptive immune responses. Lysosomal membrane proteins are also involved in the transport of newly synthesized hydrolases to the lysosome (for example, lysosomal integral membrane protein 2 (LIMP2)) and across the lysosomal membrane (for example, the V-type H+-ATPase complex and chloride channel protein 7 (CLC7)) . model organisms have highlighted the role of LMPs in cell through vesicular transport carriers, tubular connections Trans-Golgi network 18–20 (TGN).
