Binding and Internalization of 1261 - ~ 2 - Macroglobulin by Cultured Fibroblasts
The binding and internalization of ''61-labeled a'macroglobulin ("'I-azM) was studied in cultured fibroblasts. Two classes of binding sites were detected on cell surfaces. One class corresponds to the previously described, high affinity and low capacity sites. The other class of binding sites may mediate uptake of high physiological blood levels of '251-a~M and has not been described previously...
متن کاملalpha 2-macroglobulin adsorbed to colloidal gold: a new probe in the study of receptor-mediated endocytosis
alpha 2-Macroglobulin (alpha 2 M) was adsorbed to colloidal gold and used as a new tool in the study of receptor-mediated endocytosis. alpha 2 M-gold is easy to prepare and is clearly visualized at the electron microscope level. When cells were incubated with alpha 2 M-gold at 0 degrees C, gold was visualized both diffusely over the cell surface and concentrated in coated pits. After cells to w...
متن کاملRecognition and receptor-mediated endocytosis of the lysosomal acid lipase secreted by cultured human fibroblasts.
We have studied the recognition and uptake of acid lipase by human fibroblasts in order to determine requirements for localization and function of the enzyme in lysosomes. Our approach was based on evidence that a number of acid hydrolases involved in mucopolysaccharide metabolism are secreted from cultured fibroblasts and endocytosed by a phosphomannosyl-dependent, receptor-mediated process. A...
متن کاملalpha 2 Macroglobulin binding to the plasma membrane of cultured fibroblasts. Diffuse binding followed by clustering in coated regions
Using transmission electron microscopy, we have studied the interaction of alpha 2 macroglobulin (alpha 2 M) with the surface of cultured fibroblasts. When cells were incubated for 2 h at 4 degrees C with ferritin-conjugated alpha 2 M, approximately 90% of the alpha 2 M was diffusely distributed on the cell surface, and the other 10% was concentrated in "coated" pits. A pattern of diffuse label...
متن کاملInsulin stimulates receptor-mediated uptake of apoE-enriched lipoproteins and activated alpha 2-macroglobulin in adipocytes.
The low density lipoprotein receptor-related protein (LRP) is a cell surface receptor that binds and internalizes several macromolecules including apolipoprotein E-enriched remnant lipoproteins and protease/antiprotease complexes such as activated alpha 2-macroglobulin. Its function has been studied primarily in cultured fibroblasts and in liver. In the current studies, we provide evidence that...
