From the Clara cell secretory protein (CCSP) is a
transport protein for lipophilic substances in bronchio-alveolar fluid,
plasma, and uterine secretion. It acts as a carrier for steroid
hormones and polychlorinated biphenyl metabolites. Previously,
the existence of receptors for uptake of CCSP·ligand complexes into
the renal proximal tubules had been suggested. Using surface
plasmon resonance analysis, we demonstrate that CCSP binds to cubilin,
a peripheral membrane protein on the surface of proximal tubular cells.
Binding to cubilin results in uptake and lysosomal degradation of CCSP in cultured cells. Surprisingly, internalization of CCSP is blocked not
only by cubilin antagonists but also by antibodies directed against
megalin, an endocytic receptor that does not bind CCSP but associates
with cubilin. Consistent with a role of both receptors in renal uptake
of CCSP in vivo, patients deficient for cubilin or mice
lacking megalin exhibit a defect in tubular uptake of the protein and
excrete CCSP into the urine. These findings identify a cellular pathway
consisting of a CCSP-binding protein (cubilin) and an endocytic
coreceptor (megalin) responsible for tissue-specific uptake of CCSP and
associated ligands.
