(biosynthetic) processes. During starvation, lysosomes degrade autophagic material, recycling components to maintain cell survival.

Lysosomal degradation pathways

The lysosome is delivered material for degradation via transient interactions or complete fusion, forming endolysosomes and autolysosomes respectively. This way, the lysosomes act as reservoirs for acidic hydrolases, cycling through fusion and fission events with late endosomes and autophagosomes. The actual breakdown of endocytic
