Published evidence indicates that cystine-containing proteins have their disulphide bonds reduced during proteolysis in lysosomes. However, the intralysosomal accumulation of cystine in the cells of patients with cystinosis has been seen as evidence that protein cystine residues are not reduced. The data are reconcilable and fully in harmony if it is postulated that cysteine from the cytoplasm is the physiological reducing agent.
已发表的证据表明,含胱氨酸的蛋白质在溶酶体中的蛋白水解过程中其二硫键会被还原。然而,胱氨酸病患者细胞中溶酶体内胱氨酸的积累被视为蛋白质胱氨酸残基未被还原的证据。如果假定来自细胞质的半胱氨酸是生理还原剂,那么这些数据是可以调和且完全一致的。
