autolysosome lumen

Definition

Target type: cellularcomponent

The volume that is enclosed within the autolysosome single-membrane. [GOC:krc, GOC:nhn, PMID:17182262, PMID:24657946, PMID:26382870, PMID:32047650]

The autolysosome lumen is a specialized compartment within eukaryotic cells that arises from the fusion of lysosomes with autophagosomes. It represents a dynamic environment where degradation of cellular components occurs through the action of various hydrolytic enzymes.

The lumen of the autolysosome is characterized by a complex and constantly evolving composition, reflecting the ongoing processes of cargo delivery, degradation, and recycling. It encompasses:

* **Degraded Cellular Components:** Autophagy delivers a variety of cellular materials, including damaged organelles, misfolded proteins, and invading pathogens, to the autolysosome for breakdown. These materials are progressively degraded by the action of hydrolytic enzymes, resulting in a heterogeneous mixture of breakdown products.
* **Hydrolytic Enzymes:** The lumen of the autolysosome is enriched with a diverse array of hydrolytic enzymes, such as proteases, lipases, nucleases, and glycosidases. These enzymes are responsible for the breakdown of proteins, lipids, nucleic acids, and carbohydrates, respectively. The activity of these enzymes is optimized within the acidic environment of the autolysosome lumen.
* **Membrane Vesicles:** The autolysosome lumen often contains membrane vesicles derived from autophagosomes and lysosomes. These vesicles contribute to the overall membrane composition of the lumen and may serve as carriers for specific substrates or enzymes.
* **Breakdown Products:** The enzymatic degradation of cellular components within the autolysosome generates a variety of breakdown products, including amino acids, fatty acids, sugars, and nucleotides. These products can be recycled back into the cytoplasm for reuse or further processed within the lysosome.

The autolysosome lumen is a dynamic and highly regulated compartment that plays a crucial role in cellular homeostasis. Its specialized environment facilitates the efficient degradation of cellular components, contributing to the recycling of cellular materials and the removal of unwanted or harmful substances.'
