The association of Pseudomonas exotoxin A (PE) with mouse LM fibroblasts was visualized by using biotinyl-PE and avidin-gold. Movement of PE into coated regions occurred within 30 s of warming monolayers to 37.degree. C. This clustering was stopped by the primary amines CH3NH2 and NH4Cl but was not altered by the tertiary amine chloroquine. Toxin internalization was rapid, with a half-time of .apprx. 5 min. Although primary amines stopped clustering, they did not alter the rate of toxin internalization; they did alter the route followed after entry. Methylamine possibly protects cells from the lethal action of PE, at least in part, by blocking clustering; receptor-mediated endocytosis may be required for efficient expression of PE toxicity.
