Abstract excerpt
A variety of lower eukaryotes and certain mammalian cells are known to constitutively secrete lysosomal hydrolases. Recent studies in Tetrahymena have shown that phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate regulates the proper secretion of lysosomal enzymes at the level of phagolysosome formation. We extend these findings by studying the secretion-deficient strain MS-1 of Tetrahymena thermophila, which possess...
