The biological function of receptors is determined by their appropriate trafficking through the endosomal pathway. Following internalization, the transferrin (Tf) receptor quantitatively recycles to the plasma membrane, while the epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor undergoes degradation. To determine how Tf and EGF engage these two different pathways we imaged their binding and early endocytic pathway in live cells using TIRF-M (Total Internal Reflection Fluorescence Microscopy). We find that EGF and Tf bind to distinct plasma membrane regions, and are incorporated into different endocytic vesicles. After internalization both EGF-enriched and Tf-enriched vesicles interact with endosomes containing EEA1 (Early Endosome Antigen-1). EGF is incorporated and retained in these endosomes, while Tf-containing vesicles rapidly dissociate and move to a juxtanuclear compartment. Endocytic vesicles carrying EGF recruit more Rab5 GTPase than those carrying Tf, which by strengthening their association with EEA1-enriched endosomes may provide a mechanism for the observed cargo-specific sorting. These results reveal pre-endocytic sorting of Tf and EGF, a specialized role for EEA1-enriched endosmes in EGF trafficking, and a potential mechanism for cargo-specified sorting of endocytic vesicles by these endosomes.
