Abstract

The binding of tritium‐labelled cytochalasin B (^3^H‐CB) to a variety of mammalian cells was investigated. Binding studies revealed near‐equilibrium binding of ^3^H‐CB within 5 to 10 minutes, but the equilibrium level was influenced by ^3^H‐CB concentration. Binding kinetics revealed strong temperature dependence. Rapid release of up to 70% of cell‐bound ^3^H‐CB molecules occurred when cells were washed and returned to fresh medium without CB. The remaining 30% of cell‐bound ^3^H‐CB molecules dissociated more slowly. Equilibrium binding studies on a variety of diploid, heteroploid and transformed cells treated with 1 μg/ml ^3^H‐CB revealed between 1.7 X 10^7^ to 5.3 X 10^7^ ^3^H‐CB binding sites per cell. Cellular binding of ^3^H‐CB was not affected by inhibition of cellular energy metabolism, RNA or protein synthesis. Modification of the cell surface by proteases, neuraminidase, hyaluronidase, ribonuclease, or occupation of cell surface saccharide residues by a variety of plant lectins did not significantly alter the pattern of ^3^H‐CB binding. Surface pressure measurements on CB‐treated lipid monolayers indicated that CB can interact with lipid molecules. The partition of CB in hydrophobic lipid regions of cell membrane systems as a possible mechanism of cellular binding of CB is discussed. Fractionation of ^3^H‐CB‐treated cells revealed binding of ^3^H‐CB to both the plasma membrane and by intracellular membranes.

## Abstract Cytochalasin B (CB) was able to compete with tritiated cytochalasin D (^3H^‐CD) for binding sites in HEp‐2 cells. The pattern of inhibition suggested that CB associates with a low affinity class of CD binding sites. Glucose and maltose did not inhibit binding of ^3^H‐CD to isolated HEp‐
