  • Title: Cation-independent mannose 6-phosphate and 78 kDa receptors for lysosomal enzyme targeting are located in different cell compartments.

    Journal: Biochim Biophys Acta; 2005 Aug 15; 1745(1):7-19. PubMed ID: 16085051.
    Abstract:
    The distribution of the cation-independent mannose 6-phosphate and 78 kDa receptors was studied in postnuclear subcellular fractions from two rat liver cell lines. ELISA assays revealed that the mannose 6-phosphate receptor is enriched in the light buoyant Percoll fractions that contain Golgi structures and early endosomes. Most of the 78 kDa receptor is localized in a heavy fraction at the bottom of the Percoll gradient and smaller amounts in the endosomal fractions. The high-density compartment is denser than lysosomes, contains LAMP2 but not LIMPII or acid hydrolases, and is not disrupted with glycyl-l-phenylalanine 2-naphthylamide, a substrate for cathepsin C that selectively disrupts lysosomes. Immunofluorescence microscopy studies indicate no colocalization of the 78 kDa receptor with the mannose 6-phosphate receptor or LIMPII. Mannose 6-phosphate-independent endocytosed beta-glucuronidase was found in the lysosomal, the early and late endosomal fractions. These fractions were immunoadsorbed in columns containing antibodies against the 78 kDa receptor. Only the endocytosed beta-glucuronidase present in the early and late endosomal fractions is associated to immunoadsorbed vesicles. In these vesicles, LAMP2 was detected but no LIMPII or the mannose 6-phosphate receptor. Results obtained suggest that the 78 kDa receptor is found along the endocytic pathway, but in vesicles different from the cation-independent mannose 6-phosphate receptor.
