Autoignition=Mannose-6-phosphate (M6P) is a molecule bound by
lectin in theimmune system . M6P is converted tofructose 6-phosphate bymannose phosphate isomerase .M6P is a targeting signal for
acid hydrolase precursor proteins that are destined for transport tolysosome s. The M6P tag is added to such proteins in the "cis"-Golgi apparatus . Specifically, in a reaction involvinguridine diphosphate (UDP) andN-acetylglucosamine , the enzyme UDP-N-acetylglucosamine:N-acetylglucosaminyl-1-phosphotransferase catalyzes the "N"-linkedglycosylation ofasparagine residues with M6P. Once appropriately marked with the M6P targeting signal, these proteins are moved to the "trans"-Golgi. There, the M6Pmoiety is recognized bymannose 6-phosphate receptor (MPR) proteins.The MPRs traffic in vesicles to the lysosome via an
endosome .ee also
