The endodermally differentiated mouse embryonal carcinoma cell line M1536-B3 produces the basement membrane-associated glycoproteins entactin and GP-2 in cell culture. Immunological techniques coupled with light and electron microscopy were used to study the intracellular distribution and fate of these molecules. The two proteins were localized in cisternae of rough endoplasmic reticulum and in discrete membrane-bound vesicles. There was no evidence for their presence in the Golgi apparatus. The membrane-bound vesicles appeared to fuse with the plasma membrane and thereby transfer their contents to discrete foci on the cell surface. These foci became apparent as cell-to-cell contact was made and were prominent at cell-cell contact sites. They eventually coalesced into continuous densely stained extracellular bands of amorphous material. These bands formed a honeycomb of spaces lined by cells. It appeared that production of the extracellular matrix was probably stimulated by cell-cell contact, and that cell density rather than age of the cell cultures dictated the pattern of extracellular distribution. These results support the hypothesis that these molecules are involved in cell adhesion and multicellular organization.
