Chloride binding site of neurotransmitter sodium symporters.
Neurotransmitter:sodium symporters (NSSs) play a critical role in signaling by reuptake of neurotransmitters. Eukaryotic NSSs are chloride-dependent, whereas prokaryotic NSS homologs like LeuT are chloride-independent but contain an acidic residue (Glu290 in LeuT) at a site where eukaryotic NSSs have a serine. The LeuT-E290S mutant displays chloride-dependent activity. We show that, in LeuT-E29...
متن کاملSodium-coupled neurotransmitter transporters.
Sodium-coupled neurotransmitter transporters are located in the plasma membranes of neurons and glia, where they are present at high density in those areas of the cell membrane that face the synapse (Figure 1). They serve to keep the extracellular neurotransmitter concentrations sufficiently low, so that the postsynaptic receptors are able to detect signaling by the presynaptic nerve cell in th...
متن کاملSodium chloride
Human toxicity High NaCl intake without corresponding intake of water can lead to hypernatremia: the ratio of sodium to water exceeds normal, and both the plasma sodium concentration and the total body sodium increase. Consequently, the balance of extracellular and intracellular osmolality is disturbed, which can result in several clinical symptoms, like excessive thirst, weakness, headache, ir...
متن کاملEffect of sodium chloride on the binding of polyaromatic hydrocarbon guests with sodium cholate aggregates.
Sodium cholate aggregates are adaptable host systems. The effect of changing the ionic strength with the addition of NaCl on the properties for guest binding to sodium cholate aggregates was investigated by using pyrene, perylene and 1-ethylnaphthalene as guests. Fluorescence, anisotropy and laser flash photolysis studies provided information on the protection efficiency of the aggregate bound ...
متن کاملSodium-Assisted Formation of Binding and Traverse Conformations of the Substrate in a Neurotransmitter Sodium Symporter Model
Therapeutics designed to increase synaptic neurotransmitter levels by inhibiting neurotransmitter sodium symporters (NSSs) classify a strategic approach to treat brain disorders such as depression or epilepsy, however, the critical elementary steps that couple downhill flux of sodium to uphill transport of neurotransmitter are not distinguished as yet. Here we present modelling of NSS member ne...
