Folate receptors targeted to clathrin-coated pits cannot regulate vitamin uptake
Abstract
Potocytosis is an endocytic process that is specialized for the internalization of small molecules. Recent studies on the uptake of 5-methyltetrahydrofolate by the folate receptor have suggested that the glycosyl-phosphatidylinositol anchor on this protein causes it to cluster and be internalized by caveolae instead of coated pits. To test this hypothesis directly, we have constructed a chimeric folate receptor that has the glycosyl-phosphatidylinositol anchor replaced with the transmembrane domain and cytoplasmic tail of the low density lipoprotein receptor. The cells with wild-type receptors delivered 5-methyltetrahydrofolate to the cytoplasm more rapidly than did cells expressing the chimeric receptor. This suggests that efficient delivery to the cytoplasm depends on caveolae. In sharp contrast to cells with wild-type folate receptors, cells internalizing folate by clathrin-coated pits were unable to decrease vitamin uptake when they were either folate replete or confluent.
