Question

Do Lysosomes Contain DNA?

Answer 1

Lysosome: Lysosomes are called cell suicide bags because they contain proteins that break down waste.

1. Lysosomes, which have proteins that break down trash, are known as the cell's "suicide bags." Nearly fifty different degradative enzymes that can hydrolyze RNA, proteins, DNA, lipids, and polysaccharides are found in lysosomes.
2. Proton pumps and chloride ion channels work together to keep the pH of the lysosome constant. It is known that the lysosome contains more than fifty membrane proteins and over sixty distinct enzymes.
3. The rough endoplasmic reticulum produces the lysosome enzymes, which are then transported through the Golgi apparatus and finally packed into small vesicles that join with bigger acidic vesicles.
4. The transcription factor EB, which also encourages the transcription of some nuclear genes, regulates the synthesis of the enzymes.
5. As a result, the lysosome only contains the enzymes and proteins necessary to carry out its intended job.
