Abstract
The distribution of surface proteins during phagocytosis by rabbit peritoneal polymorphonuclear leukocytes [PMN] was studied to determine whether the proteins of the phagocytic vesicles of these differentiated cells were representative of the entire set of plasma membrane proteins. Phagocytosis of bovine serum albumin-diisodecylphthalate emulsion by lactoperoxidase-iodinated rabbit neutrophils was linear over 15-20 min at a rate of 96 .mu.g oil/min per mg cell protein. This rate was similar to that of unlabeled cells. Incorporation of cell-associated free I by endogenous myeloperoxidase during phagocytosis was inhibited by 1 mM cyanide, which had no effect on the rate of particle uptake. The surface of intact neutrophils contained at least 13 iodinated proteins distinguishable by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis followed by autoradiography. Isolated phagosomes were deficient in 6 of these proteins. The plasma membrane fraction of these cells was missing 5 of these same proteins which, however, were enriched in a dense surface fraction. When experimental conditions were reversed, and the PMN were labeled after phagocytosis, these 5 proteins remained on the cell surface, while at least 3 of the major proteins found on resting cells were depleted. Incubating the cells with colchicine, which affects the distribution of some plasma membrane constituents during phagocytosis, had no effect on the distribution of surface proteins in this system. A nonrandom interiorization of lactoperoxidase-labeled surface proteins of PMN apparently occurs during phagocytosis.This publication has 34 references indexed in Scilit:
