1. The polypeptides of the three endosomal fractions isolated from livers of oestradiol-treated rats were analysed by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis. Silver-stained gels revealed that although the three endosomal fractions shared a generally similar pattern of approx. 120 components, qualitative and quantitative differences between the three endocytic fractions could be demonstrated. 2. The 'early' endosomes [compartment of uncoupling of receptors and ligands (CURL)] comprised the most complex fraction and contained most of the polypeptides found in the 'late' endosomes [multivesicular bodies (MVBs)] and the receptor recycling compartment (RRC). When CURL was analysed by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis after partition with Triton X-114, it showed the largest number of integral membrane polypeptides. 3. Some of the major receptors (polymeric immunoglobulin receptor, transferrin receptor, low-density lipoprotein receptor, asialoglycoprotein receptor, beta1-integrin, mannose 6-phosphate receptor, epidermal growth factor receptor and AGp110) and internalized ligands (IgA, IgG, albumin, haptoglobin, transferrin and alpha2-macroglobulin) were further studied by Western blotting. 4. The distribution of the identified receptors and ligands among the three endosomal fractions was in agreement with their expected functionalities. 5. The polypeptide composition of the bile was also examined and compared with ligands and proteins identified in the different endocytic fractions. 6. Finally, an electron microscopy study confirms the distinctive physical and ultrastructural features of the three isolated endosomal fractions.
