After internalization of hemoglobin-haptoglobin complex (Hb-Hp) via receptor-mediated endocytosis (RME) into liver parenchymal cells, organelles containing the complex distribute in the microsome fraction (Ms). Prior to the catabolism, Hb-Hp dissociates symmetrically into two 82000-dalton (82 kDa) subunits. In the present investigation, the first event of Hb-Hp metabolism in Ms were further examined after [^3H-heme, ^<14>C-globin]Hb-Ho or [^<125>I-Hb]Hp injection to rats. Shortly after the internalization of Hb-Hp, this complex in Ms was intact. At 60 min after injection, radioactive materials of Ms extracted by freezing and thawing (F&T) with yield of 15% were composed of Hb-Hp, 82 kilodaltons (kDa) subunits and Hb metabolites with a ratio of 1 : 6 : 13. The heme metabolites were identified as [^3H]bilirubin by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The ratio of Hb-Hp/82 kDa subunits/Hb metabolites in microsome residue of the F&T was 40 : 8 : 1. The radioactivity in Ms at 60 min localized microsome subfraction except Golgi light fraction. In electron microscope radioautography of microsome subfraction using [^<125>I]Hb-Hp, silver grains were observed over or within morphologically heterogenous vesicles, e.g. vesicles containing very low density lipoprotein (VLDL) particles with appendage like multi-vesicular body (MVB) or compartment of uncoupling of receptor and ligand (CURL) in Goligi light and intermediate fractions.These studies suggest that Hb-Hp internalized by RME is dissociated symmetrically into two 82 kDa subunits in organelles of Ms, and that organelles with MVB or CURL-like structures are associated with Hb-Hp metabolism.
