Autophagy occurs in the following sequence of steps:

Induction by activation of mTOR complex 1

• Nucleation of autophagosome formation by ATG9

• Closure of the membrane cup to form autophagosome

• Fusion of the autophagosome with lysosomes, catalyzed by SNAREs.

• Digestion of the inner membrane and the lumenal contents of the autophagosome

Autophagy can be either

• Nonselective autophagy

• Selective autophagy

In nonselective autophagy, a bulk portion of cytoplasm is sequestered in autophagosomes

#Unit 2. Cellular Organization

In selective autophagy

specific cargo is packaged into autophagosomes that tend to contain little cytosol, mediates the degradation of worn out, or unwanted, mitochondria, peroxisomes, ribosomes, and ER; used to destroy invading microbes.

Sorting signal that directs lysosomal hydrolases from the TGN to the late endosome is- Mannose 6-phosphate (M6P).

#Unit 2. Cellular Organization

M6P residues are generated in the cis-Golgi by two Golgi-resident enzymes. 

1. N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) phosphotransferase
2. Phosphodiesterase
