title: Regulation of ANF receptor internalization: involvement of extracellular calcium.
abstract: Receptor mediated internalization of 125I-ANF (99-126) and the underlying mechanism was studied in PC12 cells. Phosphorylation of PC12 cell plasma membrane proteins at 0 degrees C or 37 degrees C was not altered in presence of ANF (99-126) or c-ANF (4-23). Exposure of cells to phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA, 100 ng/ml) did not alter the endocytic rate or extent of 125I-ANF (99-126) internalization. When cells were treated with a combination of PMA and the calcium ionophore A23187, internalization was not stimulated. Incubation with A23187 (10 microM) alone decreased 125I-ANF (99-126) internalization by 22% in Ca2+ containing medium. Cell surface binding increased 10% in the presence of Ca2+ compared to Ca2+ free medium, irrespective of the presence of A23187. Ca2+ appears to play an important role in the binding of ANF to the receptor and initiation of ligand-receptor complex internalization. Activation of protein kinase C or receptor phosphorylation is not an essential step in initiating ANF receptor internalization.
