Hydrolases

With regard to your second question: Since lysosomal hydrolases are only active in an acidic environment such as the lumen of lysosomes, they cannot degrade protein in other parts of the cell. If a lysosome were to rupture then those hydrolases would ...

... the cytosol, and therefore the rest of the cell, from the degradative enzymes within the lysosome. For this reason, should a lysosome's acid hydrolases leak into the cytosol, their potential to damage the cell will be reduced, because they will not be at their optimum pH. The constant pH ...

... that was 68 kDa in size. Analysis of the sequence indicated that the chitinase contained a catalytic domain belonging to family 18 of glycosyl hydrolases. Three putative binding domains, a chitin binding domain, a novel polycystic kidney disease (PKD) domain, and a fibronectin type III domain, ...
