The presence of lysosomal acid phosphatase (LAP) in coated pits at the plasma membrane was investigated by immunocytochemistry in thymidine kinase negative mouse L-cells (Ltk-) and baby hamster kidney (BHK) cells overexpressing human LAP (Ltk-LAP and BHK-LAP cells). Double immunogold labeling showed that at various stages of invaginating coated pits LAP colocalized with clathrin and plasma membrane adaptors (HA-2 adaptors). Quantitation of the immunogold label showed similar density of wild-type LAP in coated over non-coated areas of the plasma membrane, whereas an internalization-deficient, truncated mutant of LAP which lacks the cytoplasmic tail was less efficiently included into coated pits. Internalization of anti-LAP antibodies into endosomal vesicles was accompanied by rapid dissociation of the coat proteins as shown by an immunofluorescence assay. The role of clathrin-coated vesicles in internalization of LAP was further corroborated by microinjecting monoclonal antibodies against clathrin or HA-2 adaptors into BHK-LAP cells. Internalization of LAP as detected by an immunofluorescence assay was transiently blocked by microinjected antibodies against clathrin or HA-2 adaptors, whereas unrelated antibodies did not affect internalization. These data suggest that LAP is included into clathrin-coated pits of the plasma membrane for rapid internalization. |
