Iodinated interleukin-3 (IL-3) can be covalently cross-linked to three specific surface glycoproteins with net molecular masses of 170, 140, and 65-70 kDa under conditions in which ligand internalization and degradation do not occur. These three proteins plus two additional non- ligand-binding proteins of 90 and 55 kDa can be purified by IL-3 affinity chromatography. Comparative two-dimensional analysis of the tryptic digests of these five proteins indicates that the ligand- binding proteins are highly related at the peptide level. Incubation of cells with 125I-IL-3 at 37 degrees C results in rapid time- and energy- dependent internalization and degradation of ligand. Under these conditions only the 140- and 65-70-kDa binding proteins, which can recycle to the surface after internalization, can be identified. The lability of the 170-kDa protein indicates that it may not recycle. Thus, an energy-dependent mechanism is responsible for internalization and may be necessary for any potential interconversion of the higher 170- or 140-kDa proteins to the lower 140- and/or 65-70-kDa binding proteins.
