autolisosomas
Scope note: Clase de partículas citoplásmicas de los tejidos animales y vegetales, dotadas de una morfología heterogénea y caracterizadas por su contenido en enzimas hidrolíticas y por su latencia, vinculada a la estructura. Las funciones intracelulares de los lisosomas dependen de su potencial lítico. La unidad de membrana simple del lisosoma actúa como barrera entre las enzimas encerradas en el lisosoma y el sustrato externo. La actividad de las enzimas contenidas en los lisosomas es limitada o nula a menos que se rompa la vesícula que las engloba o que la vesícula experimente una FUSIÓN DE MEMBRANAS.

Scope note: A class of morphologically heterogeneous cytoplasmic particles in animal and plant tissues characterized by their content of hydrolytic enzymes and the structure-linked latency of these enzymes. The intracellular functions of lysosomes depend on their lytic potential. The single unit membrane of the lysosome acts as a barrier between the enzymes enclosed in the lysosome and the external substrate. The activity of the enzymes contained in lysosomes is limited or nil unless the vesicle in which they are enclosed is ruptured or undergoes MEMBRANE FUSION. (From Rieger et al., Glossary of Genetics: Classical and Molecular, 5th ed).
