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

The heavy chain is then expressed on the cell surface in combination with the surrogate light chain, which is made up of VpreB and λ5.

BAFF-R expression is first detected in T1 B cells and increases steadily there after.
Signaling through the BAFF/BAFF-R axis promotes survival of transitional B cells by inducing the synthesis of anti-apoptotic factors such as Bcl-2, Bcl-xl, and Mcl-1
