Using a direct conjugate of urokinase and ferritin, the binding has been followed at the plasma membrane and the internalization of urokinase into BALB/C-3T3 fibroblasts, cultured in plasminogen-free conditions. At 0 degree C, the conjugate was observed bound on both coated and uncoated cell surface regions as singlets, and small and large clusters. No binding was observed in the presence of excess native urokinase. The binding was impaired by preincubation of the conjugate with a competitive inhibitor of the catalytic site, suggesting an interaction between the receptor and the catalytic site of the enzyme. Within 1 min at 37 degrees C, urokinase clustered on coated regions of the plasma membrane. At 5 min after warming, ferritin was found on deeply indented coated pits and in both coated and uncoated vesicles close to the cell surface. By 10 min at 37 degrees C, ferritin particles were present in uncoated endosomes and in multivesicular bodies in the Golgi area. Within 10 min, the receptors on the surface strongly decreased. New receptors were observed on the membrane after 20 min at 37 degrees C. At this time, ferritin was observed both in endosomes or multivesicular bodies and in vesicles close to the plasma membrane.
