Dopamine transporter site-directed mutations differentially alter substrate transport and cocaine binding.
Polar amino acids lying within three hydrophobic regions of the dopamine transporter (DAT) are analogous to those important for ligand recognition by catecholamine receptors. Possible functional significance of these amino acids was examined by expressing DAT cDNAs mutated in these polar residues. Replacement of aspartate at position 79 with alanine, glycine, or glutamate dramatically reduced u...
متن کاملDopamine, norepinephrine and serotonin transporter gene deletions differentially alter cocaine-induced taste aversion.
Although cocaine is primarily known for its powerful hedonic effects, there is evidence that its affective experience has a notable aversive component that is less well understood. A variety of pharmacological and molecular approaches have implicated enhanced monoamine (MA) neurotransmission in the aversive effects of cocaine. Although numerous studies have yielded data supportive of the role o...
متن کاملSite-directed mutations near transmembrane domain 1 alter conformation and function of norepinephrine and dopamine transporters.
The human dopamine and norepinephrine transporters (hDAT and hNET, respectively) control neurotransmitter levels within the synaptic cleft and are the site of action for amphetamine (AMPH) and cocaine. We investigated the role of a threonine residue within the highly conserved and putative phosphorylation sequence RETW, located just before transmembrane domain 1, in regulating hNET and hDAT fun...
متن کاملPhosphorylation of dopamine transporter serine 7 modulates cocaine analog binding.
As an approach to elucidating dopamine transporter (DAT) phosphorylation characteristics, we examined in vitro phosphorylation of a recombinant rat DAT N-terminal peptide (NDAT) using purified protein kinases. We found that NDAT becomes phosphorylated at single distinct sites by protein kinase A (Ser-7) and calcium-calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (Ser-13) and at multiple sites (Ser-4, Se...
متن کاملDopamine transporter: transmembrane phenylalanine mutations can selectively influence dopamine uptake and cocaine analog recognition.
Cocaine blocks the normal role of the dopamine transporter (DAT) in terminating dopamine signaling through molecular interactions that are only partially understood. Cocaine analog structure-activity studies have suggested roles for both cationic and aromatic interactions among DAT, dopamine, and cocaine. We hypothesized that phenylalanine residues lying in putative DAT transmembrane (TM) domai...
