text: This view of lysosomes as fusogenic organelles is consistent with other data showing that lysosomes can also fuse with phagosomes, autophagosomes and the plasma membrane under appropriate circumstances (Fig. 1b).
text: It has been suggested that the additional membrane that is required for the formation of phagosomal cups (when there is a high load of phagocytic particles) might be derived from lysosomes that fuse with the plasma membrane by a process that may be similar to the calcium- and synaptotagmin-VII-dependent exocytosis of lysosomes86.
text: There is now compelling evidence that lysosomes can fuse with late endosomes, the plasma membrane, phagosomes and autophagosomes.
text: Upon plasma membrane injury, lysosomes rapidly migrate to the damaged site and fuse with the plasma membrane to allow efficient resealing.
