We have found the existence of specific receptors for the plasminogen activator, urokinase, in A431 human epidermoid carcinoma cells, cultures in plasminogen-free conditions. Two subsets of receptors have been recognized on the basis of 125I-labelled urokinase binding analysis: about 1 X 10(3) high-affinity (Kd = 5.0 X 10(-11) M) and 1 X 10(5) low-affinity (Kd = 9 X 10(-9) M) receptors per cell. The electron microscopic observation of a urokinase: ferritin conjugate has shown single and clustered receptors at the cell surface. Down-regulation of the receptors (T1/2 = 3.77 h) follows the binding of urokinase. The binding does not involve an intact catalytic site and is inhibited by a monoclonal antibody against the Mr 17500 proteolytic fragment of the A chain of urokinase.
