To better understand how the folate receptor (also known as the membrane folate binder) is able to deliver 5-methyltetrahydrofolic acid to the cytoplasm of folate-depleted MA104 cells, we have examined the kinetics of movement from the cell surface into the cytoplasm. Bound 5-methyltetrahydrofolic acid was transferred into an acid-resistant membrane compartment at the rate of 0.9-1.0 pmol/106 cells per h. This folate appeared in the cytoplasm at the same rate. Furthermore, cytoplasmic 5-methyltetrahydrofolic acid became polyglutamated at the rate of 0.6-0.7 pmol/106 cells per h. As soon as intracellular 5-methyltetrahydrofolate reached 5-7 pmol/106 cells, however, cytoplasmic accumulation was markedly inhibited even though the folate receptor remained functional. Therefore, the acute regulation of 5-methyltetrahydrofolic acid accumulation appears to be achieved by controlling the movement of the vitamin from the receptor into the cytoplasm of the cell.
