The plasma membrane proteins of Dictyostelium discoideum were characterized with respect to their partitioning into the Triton-insoluble cytoskeleton fraction of the cell during concanavalin A-induced capping. Two fractions of plasma membrane-associated concanavalin A were identified; one that immediately associated with the cytoskeleton fraction via cell surface glycoproteins, and one that partitioned with the cytoskeleton only after extensive cell surface glycoprotein cross-linking. Three major classes of polypeptides were found in the plasma membrane that differed with respect to their partitioning properties into the cytoskeleton fraction. The temporal order of association of the polypeptides with the cytoskeleton during concanavalin A-induced capping corresponded to the strength of their association with the cytoskeleton fraction as determined by pH and ionic strength elution from unligated cytoskeletons.
