Differential arrival of newly synthesized apical and basolateral plasma membrane proteins in the epithelial cell line A6.

The labeling of specific cell surface proteins with biotin was used to examine both protein distribution and delivery of newly synthesized proteins to the apical and basolateral cell surface in A6 cells. Steady-state metabolic labeling with [35S]methionine followed by specific cell surface biotinylation demonstrated polarization of membrane proteins. The delivery of newly synthesized proteins to the apical or basolateral cell surface was examined by metabolic labeling with [35S]methionine using a pulse-chase protocol in combination with specific cell surface biotinylation. Newly synthesized biotinylated proteins at the apical cell surface reached a maximum after a 5 min chase, and then fell over the remainder of a 2 hr chase. The bulk flow of newly synthesized proteins to the basolateral membrane slowly rose to a maximum after 90 min. The detergent Triton X-114 was used to examine delivery of hydrophilic and hydrophobic proteins to the cell surface. Delivery of both hydrophilic and hydrophobic proteins to the apical cell surface reached a maximum 5 to 10 min into the chase period. The arrival of hydrophilic proteins at the basolateral surface showed early delivery and a maximum peak delivery at 120 min into the chase period. In contrast, only an early peak of delivery of newly synthesized hydrophobic proteins to the basolateral membrane was observed.
