Pre-lysosomal divergence of alpha 2-macroglobulin and transferrin: a kinetic study using a monoclonal antibody against a lysosomal membrane glycoprotein (LAMP-1)

We have used electron microscopic immunocytochemistry to compare the distribution of LAMP-1, a marker for lysosomal membranes, with the intracellular localization of alpha 2-macroglobulin (alpha 2-M) and transferrin at various time points after their endocytosis into cultured NIH 3T3 cells. The purposes of this study were (a) to determine how soon endocytic ligands reach lysosomal organelles, (b) to examine whether the intermediate endocytic vesicles gained lysosomal markers gradually or in a precipitous, discrete event, and (c) to examine the relationship, if any, between the pathway of recycling ligands and lysosomes. At early time points (0-5 min) after initiation of endocytosis, most structures containing alpha 2-M labeled with colloidal gold (receptosomes) were not labeled by anti-LAMP-1 detected using ferritin bridge or peroxidase immunocytochemistry. At late time points (greater than or equal to 15 min), the structures containing alpha 2-M (lysosomes) were strongly labeled by anti-LAMP-1. In contrast, transferrin that was directly labeled with ferritin was mostly located in LAMP-1-negative structures at all time points studied. The proportion of alpha 2-M-gold containing vesicles strongly labeled for LAMP-1 roughly paralleled the proportion of alpha 2-M-gold- containing structures positive for cytochemically detectable acid phosphatase. Our data indicate that ligands such as transferrin that are internalized through coated pits and receptosomes, but not delivered to lysosomes, do not traverse a lysosomal organelle compartment as marked by LAMP-1 content. Ligands such as alpha 2-M that are destined for lysosomal delivery reach a LAMP-1-positive organelle compartment only after they traverse LAMP-1-negative, non-lysosomal vesicles previously described as receptosomes.
