Plasma membrane glycoproteins recycle to the Golgi complex, but the route followed by these proteins is not known. To elucidate the pathway of transport, the involvement of clathrin-coated vesicles was tested. This was accomplished by comparing the traffic of wild type low density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR) and FH 683, a mutant receptor whose endocytosis from the cell surface in coated vesicles is reduced by 90-95%. Wild type LDLR traveled from the cell surface to the sialyltransferase compartment of the Golgi with a half-time of 2.5 h in K562 human leukemia cells expressing receptor from a transfected cDNA. In contrast, FH 683 LDLR recycled to the Golgi at 33% of the wild type rate, suggesting that wild type LDLR is largely transported to the Golgi by a pathway that involves clathrin-coated vesicles. Moreover, because clathrin-coated vesicles that bud from the plasma membrane are transported to endosomes, surface-to-Golgi transport probably involves an endosomal intermediate. Finally, because there was substantial transport of mutant LDLR to the Golgi even though its endocytosis in coated vesicles was greatly reduced, there may be a second pathway of surface-to-Golgi traffic. Our results suggest that wild type LDLR may move from plasma membrane to Golgi by two routes. Two-thirds of the traffic proceeds via a coated vesicle-mediated pathway while the remainder may follow a clathrin-independent pathway.
