Internalization and delivery to lysosomes of hydrazide horseradish peroxidase, a covalent membrane probe
B Storrie and AL Ferris
Hydrazide horseradish peroxidase, (hydHRP), a hydrazide derivative of the common cytochemical tracer HRP, was covalently coupled to the surface of periodate-treated Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells and used to study the distribution and internalization of plasma membrane glycoconjugates. The Schiff-base coupling of hydHRP to the cell surface at 4 degrees C had little effect on cell viability. After coupling, cells were washed at 4 degrees C and the subcellular distribution of hydHRP was determined immediately or after incubation at 37 degrees C. Within 1 hr, hydHRP was observed to cap over pseudopodal-like extensions and then accumulate over a 2.5 h period in a punctate to perinuclear staining pattern over the cell body. By electron microscopy, the pseudopodal-like regions were found to be areas of extensive cell surface invaginations, rich in microfilaments. HydHRP internalized over a 2.5 to 18 hr period was observed in smooth vesicles resembling pinosomes/endosomes, multivesicular bodies (lysosomes), and small perinuclear vesicles. Little, if any, hydHRP activity was detected in association with elements of Golgi apparatus. By cell fractionation in 10% Percoll gradients, hydHRP was found to have accumulated in prelysosomal endocytic vesicles and lysosomes. For cells that were first surface labeled with 125I at 4 degrees C and then conjugated with hydHRP, little, if any, cotransport of the 125I label with hydHRP was observed. Over the entire capping and internalization period, most hydHRP activity remained membrane associated. Overall, these results indicate that the dominant intracellular transport route for a covalent membrane probe, hydHRP glycoconjugate, is similar if not identical to that previously reported for the solute probe native HRP (16) in CHO cells. HydHRP internalization provides further evidence for the independent sorting of proteins in endocytic transport.
