#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.

#Unit 2. Cellular Organization

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

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

#Unit 2. Cellular Organization

The M6P receptor protein binds to M6P at pH 6.5–6.7 in the TGN lumen and releases it at pH 6, in the lumen of endosomes.
