title: Platelet-derived growth factor. III. Identification of a platelet-derived growth factor receptor by affinity labeling.
abstract: Two homobifunctional cross-linking reagents have been used to cross-link 125I-platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) to a cell surface component with an approximate Mr = 164,000 that has many characteristics of a specific PDGF receptor. Excess unlabeled PDGF competed for labeling of this component, while high concentrations of fibroblast growth factor, insulin, epidermal growth factor, low density lipoprotein or acetylated low density lipoprotein had no effect. Preincubation of cells with 125I-PDGF at 37 degrees C reduced specific 125I-PDGF binding (down regulation) and produced a parallel decrease in the amount of the 164,000-dalton receptor available for labeling. The 164,000-dalton component contains at least some protein that is accessible to trypsin in the extracellular medium. A complex of comparable Mr is seen on all PDGF-responsive cell types examined, but not on a nonresponsive cell type. 125I-PDGF does not become covalently cross-linked to this component in the absence of a cross-linking reagent.
