nalized material to dense compartments at the nonpermissive temperature and that the defect is partially expressed at permissive temperatures. During the Percoll density gradient analysis, we found that TfT1.11 cells, in addition to expressing a defect in thetransfer of internalized material to dense lysosomes, also lost P-galactosidase activity from dense lysosomes after incubation at 41 "C (Fig. 2 E ) . This loss was associated with both an increase in the activity found in more buoyant compartments and a decrease in total activity. The vast majority of p-galactosidase activity from WTB cells was observed to sediment in the dense region of 17% Percoll gradients, consistent with localization in late endosomes and dense lysosomes (Fig. 2 F ) . Only a small peak of activity was seen in the buoyant region where early endosomes sediment. For TfT1.ll cells at the nonpermissive temperature, a dramatic increase in activity in the buoyant region was observed, with a corresponding decrease in the dense region. A similar redistribution and loss of activity was observedforP-hexosaminidase (data not shown).Since the time of temperature shift is short relative to the half-lives of lysosomal enzymes,the resultsindicate that mature lysosomal enzymes in TfT1.ll can redistribute from dense lysosomes to compartments with densities corresponding to those of both early and late endosomes. TfTl.11 Cells Fail to Accumulate Dextran at the Restrictive Temperature-The failure of TfT1.ll, following incubation at the nonpermissive temperature, to transfer internalized horseradish peroxidase to dense compartments and to accumulate horseradish peroxidase activity indicated that fluid-phase endocytosis is defective in TfT1.ll. To characterize this defect further, cells were labeled with XRITC-dextran, a fluid-phase marker, for various periods of time and analyzed by flow cytometry for cell-associated XRITC-dextranfluorescence. At 33 "C, both WTB and TfT1.11 accumulated XRITC-dextran at
and TfT1.ll cells regardless of whether they had been preincubated a t 41 "C for 4 h, although a slight increase in buoyant density of transferrin-containing compartments was observed in TfT1.ll after incubation at the nonpermissive temperature. These results indicate that the decreased rate of externalization of transferrin in TfT1.ll at the restrictive temperature does not result from mislocalization of transferrin into late endosomes and dense lysosomes. Incubation at the Restrictive Temperature Results ina Redistribution of p-Galactosidase and Inhibition of Dansferof Znternalized Horseradish Peroxidase to Dense Lysosomes-Since many treatments that inhibit or alter receptor recycling also inhibit or alter the transfer of internalized material to dense we considered the possibility that this corlysosomes (14, 151, relation might hold for TfTl.11. We therefore examined, for TfT1.ll and WTB at the permissive and nonpermissive temperatures, the distribution on both types of Percoll gradients of compartments containing an internalized fluid-phase marker, horseradish peroxidase (Fig. 2). For WTB, endocytosed horseradish peroxidase was found primarily in dense lysosomes at both temperatures. While the total horseradish peroxidase activity present in the gradient increased for WTB at the higher temperature, the fraction of activity in the dense region remained the same. For TfT1.ll at the permissive temperature, endocytosed horseradish peroxidase was also found in dense compartments, although the fraction was somewhat lower than for WTB (Fig. 2A). However, at the nonpermissive temperature, horseradish peroxidase activity was completely absent from the dense lysosome region of 27% Percoll gradients in TfT1.ll (Fig. 2 B ) . The defect appears to be in transferofhorseradish peroxidase out of early endosomes (to late endosomes), since horseradish peroxidase activity was also absent from the dense region of a 17% Percoll gradient (Fig. 2C). These results indicate that TfT1.11 exhibits a defect in the transferof inter-

by TfT1.ll was greatly diminished and reached saturation after 40 min. The similar initial internalization rate combined with the decreased extent of accumulation suggest that the defect in TfT1.ll is not in internalization, but rather that at the nonpermissive temperature almost all internalized XRITCdextran is rapidly lost from the cells. To determine the kinetics of expression of this defect, cells were shifted to the restrictive temperature for various times, incubated with XRITC-dextran for 30 min, and then analyzed (Fig. 4). Consistent with the results for horseradish peroxidase (Fig. 2),WTB has an increased accumulation of the fluid-phase while the ability of marker at therestrictivetemperature TfT 1.11to accumulate XRITC-dextran during a 30-min pulseis reduced to 35%of WTB at that temperature. Thefull expression of the defect was observed after 2 h at the nonpermissive temperature. TfTl.11 Cells Exhibit a Rapid Eflux of Internalized Dextran a t the Restrictive Temperature-The difference in accumulation of XRITC-dextran between WTB and TfT1.11 is presumably due toa difference in the rate of dextran efflux since the initial extent of accumulation of XRITC-dextran is very similar between the two cell lines. To demonstrate that TfT1.11 has an enhanced efflux of XRITC-dextran at the restrictive temperature, cells were incubated for 4 h at 41 "C, and then for either 5 or 60 min with XRITC-dextran. The cells were washed, incubated in the absence of XRITC-dextran for up to 90 min, and then analyzed for the amount of XRITC-dextran fluorescence retained (Fig. 5). WTB cells labeled for 5 min displayed a n initial rapid loss of 60%of the cell-associated fluorescence followed by a much slower efflux; WTB cells labeled for 60 min displayed a slow loss of cell-associated fluorescence and retained greater than 80% of the XRITC-dextran at 90 min. These results are consistent with the concept that in normal cells fluid is rapidly lost from early endosomes but only slowly lost from later endocytic compartments. In contrast, TfT1.ll labeled for 5 min displayed a n increased loss (80%)of the initial cell-associated fluorescence during the first 10 min of incubation without dextran andlost essentially allfluorescence by 90 min. Also in contrast toWTB, TfT1.11 cells labeled for 60 min lostapproximately 40%of the internalized XRITC-dextran

cycling vesicles and late endosomes, thus requiring only one type of fission event. This model has received strong support from complementary experimental approaches (24, 25). Current data strongly suggest that receptor recycling and the delivery of endocytosed material to dense lysosomes are intimately linked. For example, incubation in the presence of weak bases or ionophores (treatments that increase intravesicular pH) inhibit receptor recycling (26-32) and inhibitdelivery of material to dense lysosomal compartments (20, 33, 34). In addition, incubations with weak bases or ionophores also DISCUSSION inhibit fluid-phase pinocytosis (281, and enhance thesecretion of lysosomal enzymes (26). Vanadate has also been shown to Receptor Recycling and lFafic to Lysosomes Are Linked-A central concept in many currentviews of endocytic membrane block receptor recycling and transport to dense lysosomes (35). traffic is a distinction between a t least two classes of acidic Similarly, temperatures below 22 "C inhibit receptor recycling (32,36-38), ligand dissociation (391, and delivery of material to organelles, endosomes and lysosomes.

These and that endosomes contain significant hydrolase activity (for agents do inhibit receptor-ligand segregation (39) anddelivery processes can be inhibreview, see Ref. 5). These observations led to the proposal of to lysosomes (45), indicating that these new models to explain how endocytosed material is transported ited without affecting recycling. The converse does not appear from early endosomes to dense lysosomes (reviewed in Refs. 3 to be true, however, since inhibition of recycling is associated and 23).

The transient compartment or maturation to late endosomes and dense lysosomes. The simplest explanamodel, on the other hand, postulates that endosomes are gen- tion (model 1)is that TfT1.11cells are defective in a component erated by the coalescence of primary endocytic vesicles (and required for proper removal of recycling material (a fission vesicles carrying hydrolases) andconsumed by fission into re- process) and that this removal is requiredfor the generationof a late endosome (which is required for appearance of endocytosed material in lysosomes). This correlation is embodied in the transient compartment model. It is difficult to reconcile with stable compartment models, which postulate two distinct types of fission processes. Therefore, the inhibition of receptor recycling and the loss of transport of material to dense lysosomes in TfT1.ll upon incubation at the nonpermissive temperature provide further evidence that post-sorting compartments andrecycling vesicles are generatedby at least a coupled mechanism if not the samemechanism. Other mutants with defects in lysosome biogenesis have been described previously. The CHO cell mutant, V.24.1, in the End4 complementation group is defective in secretion and lysosome biogenesis but can recycle transferrin normally (46); TfT1.11 and V.24.1 are indifferent complementation group^.^ ADictyostelium discoideum mutant, HMW570, with a defect in fluidphase endocytosis also fails to deliver lysosomal enzyme activitytodense lysosomes (47);whether endosomal recycling occurs in the mutant is unknown.
