Lysosomes support cellular homeostasis by degrading macromolecules and recycling nutrients. In this issue, Johnson et al. (2016. J. Cell Biol. http://dx.doi.org/10.1083/jcb.201507112) reveal a heterogeneity in lysosomal pH and degradative ability that correlates with lysosome subcellular localization, raising questions about the functional implications and mechanisms underlying these observations.
溶酶体通过降解大分子和循环利用营养物质来维持细胞内稳态。在本期杂志中,约翰逊等人(2016年。《细胞生物学杂志》。http://dx.doi.org/10.1083/jcb.201507112)揭示了溶酶体pH值和降解能力的异质性,这种异质性与溶酶体的亚细胞定位相关,这引发了关于这些观察结果的功能意义和潜在机制的问题。
