Microinjection of anticlathrin antibodies into fibroblasts does not interfere with the receptor-mediated endocytosis of alpha2-macroglobulin
J Wehland et al. Cell. 1981 Jul.
Abstract
Affinity-purified antibodies prepared against the major coat protein of brain coated vesicles, clathrin, were microinjected into cultured fibroblasts, and their intracellular distribution was followed by immunofluorescence microscopy and ultrastructural immunocytochemistry. Microinjected anticlathrin antibodies were concentrated on coated regions of the plasma membrane and the GERL apparatus. When an excess of anticlathrin antibodies was injected into the cytosol, coated pits on the plasma membrane were covered by anticlathrin antibody but still functioned to cluster an internalize alpha2-macroglobulin. These results are discussed in terms of the role of clathrin in the pathway of receptor-mediated endocytosis. Our data indicate that in cultured fibroblasts coated pits are stable elements permanently attached to the plasma membrane.
