The subcellular localization of 3H-labelled 59Fe-loaded transferrin accumulated by the liver has been studied by means of cell fractionation techniques. More than 96% of the 59Fe present in the liver of rats perfused with 59Fe-labelled transferrin is recovered in the parenchymal cells. Rat livers were perfused with 10 micrograms/ml 3H-labelled 59Fe-saturated transferrin, homogenized separated in nuclear (N), mitochondrial (M), light mitochondrial (L), microsomal (P) and supernatant (S) fractions; M, L and P fractions were further analysed by isopycnic centrifugation in sucrose gradients. 3H label distributes essentially around densities of 1.13-1.14 g/ml overlapping to a large extent with the distribution of galactosyltransferase, the marker enzyme of the Golgi complex. However, after treatment with low concentrations of digitonin the 3H label dissociates from galactosyltransferase and is shifted to higher densities, suggesting an association of transferrin with cholesterol-rich endocytic vesicles which could derive from the plasma membrane. 59Fe is mostly found in the supernatant fraction largely in the form of ferritin, as indicated by its reaction with antiferritin antibodies. In the mitochondrial fraction the density distribution of 59Fe suggests an association with lysosomes and/or mitochondria. In contrast to the lysosomal enzyme cathepsin B, the density distribution of 59Fe was only slightly affected by pretreatment of the rats with Triton WR 1339, suggesting its association with the mitochondria. At 15 degrees C, 59Fe and 3H labels are recovered together in low-density endocytic vesicles. On the basis of our results we suggest that, at low extracellular transferrin concentration, iron uptake by the liver involves endocytosis of the transferrin protein. The complex is interiorized in low-density acidic vesicles where iron is released. The iron passes into the cytosol, where it is incorporated into ferritin and into the mitochondria. The iron-depleted transferrin molecule would then be returned to the extracellular medium during the recycling of the plasma membrane.
