WHEN WAS IT DISCOVERED?
Lysosomes are discovered by a Belgian cytologist, Christian René de Duve (also peroxisomes) in 1949 and won a Nobel prize.
Alex Novikoff from the University of Vermont took the first electron micrographs of the new organelle.
In Greek “lysis” means destruction or dissolution and “soma” means body.

WHAT ARE THEY?
It is roughly spherical or elongated, single membrane bound cell organelle and the size ranges from 0.1 to 1.2μm.
They are acidic, with a pH of 4.6 favouring the enzyme activity, which is maintained by pumping protons from the cytosol that has a pH of 7.2 through proton pumps.
They enclose various soluble hydrolytic enzymes. These are also called as “suicidal bags of the cell” and
also “little stomach of the cell”. The absence of a single enzyme leads to several
disorders in humans. These are present exclusively in animal cells (in plant and
fungal cells vacuoles perform similar function).

WHAT IS THE STRUCTURE OF THE LYSOSOME?
Glycoprotein rich membrane.
Lysosomal associated membrane proteins(lamp) and Lysosomal integral membrane proteins(limp)
Unusual lipids
lyso-bisphosphatidic acid, thought to protect lysosomal membrane lipids from action of lumenal lipases

Anushree, Chaitra M.C, Swetha Chenna 10
WHAT KIND OF ENZYMES ARE PRESENT IN
LYSOSOMES?
About 50 acid hydrolases have been found.
Acid nucleases such as ribonuclease II, deoxyribonuclease II and exonuclease hydrolyze nucleic acids to nucleosides.
Acid proteases such as cathepsin-L, cathepsin-D and carboxypeptidase-A hydrolyze proteins to amino acids and dipeptides.
Anushree, Chaitra M.C, Swetha Chenna 11
WHAT KIND OF ENZYMES ARE PRESENT IN
LYSOSOMES?
Acid glycosidases such as β-galactosidase, α-glucosidase and α-mannosidase hydrolyze polysaccharides to monosaccharides and disaccharides
Acid lipases such as phospholipase-A1 and triacylglycerol lipase hydrolyze lipids to fatty acids
Acid phosphatase hydrolyzes phosphate esters to inorganic phosphates
Arylsulfatase B hydrolyzes sulfur esters to inorganic sulfates
Anushree, Chaitra M.C, Swetha Chenna 12
HOW DOES THE LYSOSOME MAINTAIN ITS pH?
Anushree, Chaitra M.C, Swetha Chenna 13
ATP driven proton pumps in the lysosome membrane move H+ ions from the cytosol into the lumen of the lysosome, thus lowering internal pH.
V-type of Proton pumps are present in the lysosomes.
WHAT ARE THE FUNCTIONS OF LYSOSOMES?
1. Autophagy
2. Role in endocytosis and phagocytosis
3. Role in apoptosis
4. Role in fertilization
5. Role in repairing cell membrane
6. Exocytosis(secretion)
Anushree, Chaitra M.C, Swetha Chenna 14
1. WHAT IS AUTOPHAGY?
Anushree, Chaitra M.C, Swetha Chenna 15
WHAT IS THE NEED FOR AUTOPHAGY?
Autophagy is the intra cellular process, by which cell degrades its own components using lysosomal machinery and recycles the molecules.
Damaged macromolecules, malformed proteins, non-functional, damaged and old organelles are all broken down by the lysosomal enzymes and thus, helps in the organelle turnover, that is, the regulated destruction of the cell’s own organelles and their replacement.
During starvation or nutrient-limiting conditions, autophagy of normal organelles occurs, thus helping to maintain the level of nutrients required for the normal cellular processes.
Anushree, Chaitra M.C, Swetha Chenna 16
2. WHAT IS ENDOCYTOSIS?
Endocytosis is the process for the cellular uptake of foreign material.
"Endocytosis” came from the word “endo” which means “within”, “cyt” meaning “cell” and “-osis” meaning “process”.
Types of endocytosis
A. Phagocytosis
B. Receptor-mediated endocytosis
C. Potocytosis
D. Macropinocytosis

A. WHAT IS PHAGOCYTOSIS?
Anushree, Chaitra M.C, Swetha Chenna 19
B. WHAT IS RECEPTOR-MEDIATED
ENDOCYTOSIS?
Brings about the uptake of specific extracellular macromolecules (ligands) following their binding to receptors on the external surface of the plasma membrane.
Is an important process in exogenous antigen processing(endocytic pathway).

WHAT IS CLATHRIN?
Clathrin-coated vesicles are found in all eukaryotic cells.
Particularly enriched in the brain, where they play a major role in the formation of neurotransmitter-containing pre-synaptic vesicles required for synaptic nerve transmission.
Each clathrin protein molecule consists of three heavy chains and three light chains, joined together at the center to form a three-legged assembly called a triskelion.

ENDOCYTIC PATHWAY!
Anushree, Chaitra M.C, Swetha Chenna 24
C. POTOCYTOSIS
Potocytosis is a type of receptor-mediated endocytosis in which small molecules are transported across the plasma membrane of a cell.
The molecules are transported by caveolae(rather than clathrin-coated vesicles) and are deposited directly into the cytosol.
The ligand is usually of low molecular mass(e.g. vitamins), but some larger molecules (such as lipids) can also act as ligands
Anushree, Chaitra M.C, Swetha Chenna 25
D. WHAT IS MACROPINOCYTOSIS
Non-specific endocytosis of solute macromolecules.
It has been exploited by some pathogenic bacteria as a novel route for entry into cells.
Happens through actin-mediated membrane ruffling and blebbing.
Anushree, Chaitra M.C, Swetha Chenna 26
3. WHAT IS APOPTOSIS?
Anushree, Chaitra M.C, Swetha Chenna 27
WHAT IS THE ROLE OF LYSOSOME IN
APOPTOSIS?
Lysosomes can be used to kill cells when they are supposed to be destroyed.
some cells have to die for proper development in an organism.
ex: tadpole tail gets re-absorbed when it turns into a frog
ex: loss of webbing between your fingers during fetal development
Anushree, Chaitra M.C, Swetha Chenna 28

4. WHAT IS THE ROLE OF LYSOSOMES IN
FERTILIZATION?
During fertilization, the lysosomal contents of the sperm are released outside, in order to digest the limiting membrane around the egg, thus facilitating the fusion of sperm and egg.
Also helps in degradation of paternal(sperm) mitochondria.
Anushree, Chaitra M.C, Swetha Chenna 29
5. WHAT IS THE ROLE OF LYSOSOMES IN
MEMBRANE REPAIR?
The conditions of mechanical stress and pathogenic actions leads to the disruption of patches or formation of pores in the cell membrane.
The secretory lysosomes fuses near to the damaged part of membrane and releases hydrolases outside the cell, among which a special hydrolase called acid sphingomyelinase causes the internalisation of the damaged patch.
The fusion of the lysosome with the cell membrane provides extra lipids and prevents constriction of cellular boundary.
Anushree, Chaitra M.C, Swetha Chenna 30
THE PATCH HYPOTHESIS
A. Undisturbed cell
B. A large disruption of plasma occurs
C. The accumulating vesicles begin to fuse with one another to create large patch vesicles
D. Vesicle-vesicle fusion creates more and larger patch vesicles
E. A patch of internal membrane added is thereby added
F. Post-resealing polymerization of F-actin and its contraction mediated by myosin restores subcortical network continuity. Resealing is now complete
Anushree, Chaitra M.C, Swetha Chenna 31
6. ROLE AS A SECRETORY ORGANELLE
Secretory lysosomes are a combination of conventional lysosomes and secretory granules.
These secretory lysosomes package additional secretory products, respond to extracellular stimuli and fuse with the plasma membrane to release their contents.
Secretory lysosomes are found, although not exclusively, in cells of the immune system and melanocytes.
Anushree, Chaitra M.C, Swetha Chenna 32
DO LYSOSOMES SHOW ANY SPECIFICITY
FOR PROTEIN DEGRADATION?
KFERQ standing for lysine(K), phenylalanine (F), glutamate (E), arginine (R), and glutamine (Q) that cause the proteins bearing them to be selectively delivered to lysosomes for degradation.
It is possible that the KFERQ sequences attach these proteins to cytosolic organelles that are on the way to being autophagocytosed, thereby dragging the proteins into the lysosome indirectly.
Alternatively, there may be a specific transporter in the lysosomal membrane that recognizes these signals and transfers the proteins directly across the lysosomal membrane.
Anushree, Chaitra M.C, Swetha Chenna 33
WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THINGS GO WRONG
IN THE LYSOSOMES?
Occupational Diseases: Silicosis
Material made of Silica: Rose quartz, glass, digital watches, porcelain, beach sand.
Inhaled silica (silicon dioxide) dust enters lungs
Macrophage ingest & silica dust enter secondary lysosomes

WHAT ARE LYSOSOMAL STORAGE DISEASES?
Lysosomal storage diseases (LSD’S) are characterised by the presence of abnormally enlarged lysosomes containing accumulated undigested cellular components.
The components or macromolecules that accumulate depends on the specific enzyme that is dysfunctional.
Over 50 such diseases have been described, affecting approximately 1 in 8000 infants.
