title: [Demonstration of an intact complex of epidermal growth factor and its receptor in the endosomes of A-431 cells].
abstract: The compartmentalization of the epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptors in A-431 cells was studied using centrifugation of the microsomal fraction of these cells in continuous Percoll gradient. The existence of an intact (non-degraded) EGF receptor in plasma membrane and endosome fraction was demonstrated by electrophoretic analysis of in vitro phosphorylated Percoll fractions. No phosphorylated receptor was revealed in lysosomal fraction by this method. The existence of non dissociated EGF-receptor complexes in intracellular compartments 30 minutes after the start of internalization was proven using a synthesized photoreactive labeled EGF derivative (125I-EGF-SANAH). The removing of pH gradient in organellar membranes by 10 mkM of monensin did not affect dissociation from its receptor. The data obtained proved the existence of non-dissociated and non-degraded EGF-receptor complexes in the endosomal compartment of A-431 cells.
