Previous experiments on MDCK cells have demonstrated that the polarized appearance of a 135 kDa glycoprotein (gp135) on the apical plasma membrane can occur through the insertion of both newly synthesized gp135 as well as a pre-existing gp135 intracellular pool. In this study, anticytoskeletal drugs were utilized to determine the role of the cytoskeleton in the polarized delivery of gp135. Colchicine and nocodazole produced a 15-20% inhibition in the apical surface accumulation of newly synthesized gp135 and inhibited the appearance of the gp135 pool by approximately 33%, while cytochalasin D had no affect on the apical accumulation of either newly synthesized gp135 or the gp135 pool. These results indicate that microtubules, but not microfilaments, are involved in the intracellular targeting of gp135. Quantitative immunogold electron microscopy of nocodazole-treated cells demonstrated that gp135 was not mistargeted to the basolateral membrane, suggesting the possibility that some vesicles containing gp135 did not fuse with the apical membrane and remained in the cells. These experiments demonstrate that microtubules are an important component of gp135 insertion into the apical membrane. They also suggest that gp135 resides within vesicles which have an apical membrane recognition signal and cannot fuse with the basolateral membrane. The possibility that these data, and those of others, could support a hypothesis for the presence of two constitutive apical transport pathways is discussed.
