    • Abstract:
      Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) are members of the transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) superfamily capable of inducing bone and cartilage formation in ectopic extraskeletal sites and transducing their effects through binding to serine-threonine kinase receptors. In this study, the fate of 125I-labelled native BMP after binding to cell surface receptors on L6-myoblasts was examined with both continuous and intermittent exposure of the ligand. BMP was readily internalized in L6 cells at +37 degrees C, and the internalization reached a plateau in 2 h. Intracellular degradation of 125I-labelled BMP was established, and degradation products were also detected in binding buffer, indicating exocytosis of the processed ligands. BMP receptors were shown to be subject to acute down-regulation by the ligand, and receptors were completely recycled in 3 h. Hence, we conclude that BMP receptors, like receptors for various other polypeptide ligands, have the ability to mediate intracellular delivery and degradation of the ligand.
