The neuronal glutamate transporter, EAAC1 (excitatory amino acid carrier 1), undergoes rapid regulation after treatment with platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) or phorbol ester in C6 glioma cells and neurons. A large intracellular pool of EAAC1 exists, from which transporters are redistributed to the cell surface in response to these signals. Here we show that PDGF had no effect on subcellular localization of the glial glutamate transporter, GLT-1, after transfection into C6 glioma cells. Chimeras consisting of domains from EAAC1 or GLT-1 were used to investigate structural motifs involved in PDGF-dependent redistribution of EAAC1. PDGF did not induce trafficking of an EAAC1 chimera containing the carboxyl-terminal domain of GLT-1; however, it did induce trafficking of a GLT-1 chimera containing the carboxyl-terminal domain of EAAC1. A truncated mutant of EAAC1 lacking 10 carboxyl-terminal amino acids was responsive to PDGF, whereas a mutant lacking 20 residues was not. Alanine substitution mutagenesis in this region revealed a short motif, (502)YVN(504), necessary for regulated trafficking. This motif was also involved in protein kinase C-dependent trafficking, as mutant transporters exhibited an attenuated response to phorbol ester. Interestingly, the presence of YVN in the homologous region of a nonresponsive chimera was not sufficient to confer regulated trafficking; however, the presence of a 12-amino acid motif starting at this Tyr residue was sufficient to confer responsiveness to PDGF. These studies identify a novel motif within the carboxyl terminus of EAAC1 which is required for regulated trafficking. The possibility that this motif targets EAAC1 to an intracellular, "regulated pool" is discussed. 相似文献

Many of the sodium‐dependent neurotransmitter transporters are rapidly (within minutes) regulated by protein kinase C (PKC), with changes in activity being correlated with changes in transporter trafficking to or from the plasma membrane. Our recent studies suggest that one of the classical subtypes of PKC, PKCα, may selectively mediate redistribution of the neuronal glutamate transporter, excitatory amino acid carrier (EAAC)1, and show that PKCα can be co‐immunoprecipitated with EAAC1. When the glial glutamate transporter GLT‐1a is transfected into C6 glioma cells, this transporter is internalized in response to activation of PKC, but the PKC subtype involved in this regulation is unknown. In the present study, expression of the phorbol ester‐activated subtypes of PKC was examined in C6 glioma transfected with GLT‐1. Of the classical subtypes, only PKCα was detected, and of the non‐classical subtypes, PKCδ and PKCε were detected. In this system, phorbol ester‐dependent internalization of GLT‐1 was blocked by a general inhibitor of PKCs (bisindolylmaleimide II) and by concentrations of Gö6976 that selectively block classical PKCs, but not by an inhibitor of PKCδ (rottlerin). PKCα immunoreactivity was found in GLT‐1 immunoprecipitates obtained from transfected C6 cells and from crude rat brain synaptosomes, a milieu that better mimics in vivo conditions. The amount of PKCα in both types of immunoprecipitate was modestly increased by phorbol ester, and this increase was blocked by a PKC antagonist. These studies suggest that PKCα may be required for the regulated redistribution of GLT‐1. 相似文献

Na(+)-dependent glutamate transporters are the primary mechanism for removal of excitatory amino acids (EAAs) from the extracellular space of the central nervous system and influence both physiologic and pathologic effects of these compounds. Recent evidence suggests that the activity and cell surface expression of a neuronal subtype of glutamate transporter, EAAC1, are rapidly increased by direct activation of protein kinase C and are decreased by wortmannin, an inhibitor of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3-K). We hypothesized that this regulation could be analogous to insulin-induced stimulation of the GLUT4 subtype of glucose transporter, which is dependent upon activation of PI3-K. Using C6 glioma, a cell line that endogenously and selectively expresses EAAC1, we report that platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) increased Na(+)-dependent L-[(3)H]-glutamate transport activity within 30 min. This effect of PDGF was not due to a change in total cellular EAAC1 immunoreactivity but was instead correlated with an increase cell surface expression of EAAC1, as measured using a membrane impermeant biotinylation reagent combined with Western blotting. A decrease in nonbiotinylated intracellular EAAC1 was also observed. These studies suggest that PDGF causes a redistribution of EAAC1 from an intracellular compartment to the cell surface. These effects of PDGF were accompanied by a 35-fold increase in PI3-K activity and were blocked by the PI3-K inhibitors, wortmannin and LY 294002, but not by an inhibitor of protein kinase C. Other growth factors, including insulin, nerve growth factor, and epidermal growth factor had no effect on glutamate transport nor did they increase PI3-K activity. These studies suggest that, as is observed for insulin-mediated translocation of GLUT4, EAAC1 cell surface expression can be rapidly increased by PDGF through activation of PI3-K. It is possible that this PDGF-mediated increase in EAAC1 activity may contribute to the previously demonstrated neuroprotective effects of PDGF. 相似文献

The sodium-dependent glutamate transporter, excitatory amino acid carrier 1 (EAAC1), has been implicated in the regulation of excitatory signaling and prevention of cell death in the nervous system. There is evidence that EAAC1 constitutively cycles on and off the plasma membrane and that under steady state conditions up to 80% of the transporter is intracellular. As is observed with other neurotransmitter transporters, the activity of EAAC1 is regulated by a variety of molecules, and some of these effects are associated with redistribution of EAAC1 on and off the plasma membrane. In the present study we tested the hypothesis that a structural component of lipid rafts, caveolin-1 (Cav-1), may participate in EAAC1 trafficking. Using C6 glioma cells as a model system, co-expression of Cav-1 S80E (a dominant-negative variant) or small interfering RNA-mediated knock-down of caveolin-1 reduced cell surface expression of myc epitope-tagged EAAC1 or endogenous EAAC1, respectively. Cav-1 S80E slowed the constitutive delivery and endocytosis of myc-EAAC1. In primary cultures derived from caveolin-1 knock-out mice, a similar reduction in delivery and internalization of endogenous EAAC1 was observed. We also found that caveolin-1, caveolin-2, or Cav-1 S80E formed immunoprecipitable complexes with EAAC1 in C6 glioma and/or transfected HEK cells. Together, these data provide strong evidence that caveolin-1 contributes to the trafficking of EAAC1 on and off the plasma membrane and that these effects are associated with formation of EAAC1-caveolin complexes. 相似文献

The neuronal glutamate transporter, excitatory amino acid carrier 1 (EAAC1), has a diverse array of physiologic and metabolic functions. There is evidence that there is a relatively large intracellular pool of EAAC1 both in vivo and in vitro, that EAAC1 cycles on and off the plasma membrane, and that EAAC1 cell surface expression can be rapidly regulated by intracellular signals. Despite the possible relevance of EAAC1 trafficking to both physiologic and pathologic processes, the cellular machinery involved has not been defined. In the present study, we found that agents that disrupt clathrin-dependent endocytosis or plasma membrane cholesterol increased steady-state levels of biotinylated EAAC1 in C6 glioma cells and primary neuronal cultures. Acute depletion of cholesterol increased the V(max) for EAAC1-mediated activity and had no effect on Na(+)-dependent glycine transport in the same system. These agents also impaired endocytosis as measured using a reversible biotinylating reagent. Co-expression with dominant-negative variants of dynamin or the clathrin adaptor, epidermal growth factor receptor pathway substrate clone 15, increased the steady-state levels of biotinylated myc-EAAC1. EAAC1 immunoreactivity was found in a subcellular fraction enriched in early endosome antigen 1 (EEA1) isolated by differential centrifugation and partially co-localized with EEA1. Co-expression of a dominant-negative variant of Rab11 (Rab11 S25N) reduced steady-state levels of biotinylated myc-EAAC1 and slowed constitutive delivery of myc-EAAC1 to the plasma membrane. Together, these observations suggest that EAAC1 is constitutively internalized via a clathrin- and dynamin-dependent pathway into early endosomes and that EAAC1 is trafficked back to the cell surface via the endocytic recycling compartment in a Rab11-dependent mechanism. As one defines the machinery required for constitutive trafficking of EAAC1, it may be possible to determine how intracellular signals regulate EAAC1 cell surface expression. 相似文献

A family of high-affinity transporters controls the extracellular concentration of glutamate in the brain, ensuring appropriate excitatory signaling and preventing excitotoxicity. There is evidence that one of the neuronal glutamate transporters, EAAC1, is rapidly recycled on and off the plasma membrane with a half-life of no more than 5-7 min in both C6 glioma cells and cortical neurons. Syntaxin 1A has been implicated in the trafficking of several neurotransmitter transporters and in the regulation of EAAC1, but it has not been determined if this SNARE protein is required for EAAC1 trafficking. Expression of two different sets of SNARE proteins was examined in C6 glioma with Western blotting. These cells did not express syntaxin 1A, vesicle-associated membrane protein-1 (VAMP1), or synaptosomal-associated protein of 25 kDa (SNAP-25), but did express a family of SNARE proteins that has been implicated in glucose transporter trafficking, including syntaxin 4, vesicle-associated membrane protein-2 (VAMP2), and synaptosomal-associated protein of 23 kDa (SNAP-23). cDNAs encoding variants of SNAP-23 were co-transfected with Myc-tagged EAAC1 to determine if SNAP-23 function was required for maintenance of EAAC1 surface expression. Expression of a dominant-negative variant of SNAP-23 that lacks a domain required for SNARE complex assembly decreased the fraction of EAAC1 found on the cell surface and decreased total EAAC1 expression, while two control constructs had no effect. The dominant-negative variant of SNAP-23 also slowed the rate of EAAC1 delivery to the plasma membrane. These data strongly suggest that syntaxin 1A is not required for EAAC1 trafficking and provide evidence that SNAP-23 is required for constitutive recycling of EAAC1. 相似文献

The possible modulation of the glutamate transporter EAAC1 by a class A G protein-coupled receptor was studied in transfected C6 glioma cells stably expressing the high-affinity neurotensin receptor NTS1. Brief exposure (5 min) to neurotensin increased Na(+)-dependent D-[(3)H]aspartate uptake by about 70%. The effect of neurotensin was found to result from an increase in cell surface expression of EAAC1 and accordingly, cytochalasin D and colchicine were shown to block the effect of neurotensin on aspartate uptake, suggesting that the cytoskeleton participates in this regulation. Neither protein kinase C nor phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase activities, two intracellular signaling pathways known to modulate EAAC1, was required for EAAC1-mediated aspartate transport regulation by neurotensin. Together, these results provide evidence for an acute regulation of EAAC1 trafficking after activation of a G protein-coupled receptor. 相似文献

Neutral and basic amino acid transporter B(0,+) belongs to a Na,Cl-dependent superfamily of proteins transporting neurotransmitters, amino acids and osmolytes, known to be regulated by protein kinase C (PKC). The present study demonstrates an increased phosphorylation of B(0,+) on serine moiety after treatment of rat astrocytes with phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate, a process correlated with an augmented activity of l-leucine transport and an enhanced presence of the transporter at the cell surface. After solubilization with Triton X-100 and sucrose gradient centrifugation, B(0,+) was detected in non-raft as well as in detergent-resistant raft fractions under control conditions, while phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate treatment resulted in a complete disappearance of the transporter from the raft fraction. B(0,+) was observed to interact with caveolin-1 and flotillin-1 (reggie-2) proteins, the markers of detergent-resistant microdomains of plasma membrane. As verified in immunocytochemistry and immunoprecipitation experiments, modification of PKC activity did not affect these interactions. It is proposed that PKC reveals different effects on raft and non-raft subpopulations of B(0,+). Phorbol ester treatment results in trafficking of the transporter from the intracellular pool to non-raft microdomains and increased activity, while B(0,+) present in raft microdomains undergoes either internalization or is transferred laterally to non-raft domains. 相似文献

The dopamine transporter (DAT) removes dopamine from the extracellular milieu and is potently inhibited by number of psychoactive drugs, including cocaine, amphetamines, and methylphenidate (Ritalin). Multiple lines of evidence demonstrate that protein kinase C (PKC) down-regulates dopamine transport, primarily by redistributing DAT from the plasma membrane to endosomal compartments, although the mechanisms facilitating transporter sequestration are not defined. Here, we demonstrate that DAT constitutively internalizes and recycles in rat pheochromocytoma (PC12) cells. Temperature blockades demonstrated basal internalization and reliance on recycling to maintain DAT cell surface levels. In contrast, recycling blockade with bafilomycin A1 significantly decreased transferrin receptor (TfR) surface expression but had no effect on DAT surface levels, suggesting that DAT and TfR traffic via distinct endosomal mechanisms. Kinetic analyses reveal robust constitutive DAT cycling to and from the plasma membrane, independent of transporter expression levels. In contrast, phorbol ester-mediated PKC activation accelerated DAT endocytosis and attenuated transporter recycling in a manner sensitive to DAT expression levels. These data demonstrate constitutive DAT trafficking and that PKC-mediated DAT sequestration is achieved by a combination of accelerated internalization and reduced recycling. Additionally, the differential sensitivity to expression level exhibited by constitutive and regulated DAT trafficking suggests that these two processes are mediated by independent cellular mechanisms. 相似文献

The neuronal transporter excitatory amino acid carrier 1 (EAAC1) is enriched in perisynaptic regions, where it may regulate synaptic spillover of glutamate. In this study we examined potential interactions between EAAC1 and ionotropic glutamate receptors. N-Methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor subunits NR1, NR2A, and NR2B, but not the alpha-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazole propionic acid receptor subunit GluR2, were co-immunoprecipitated with EAAC1 from neuron-enriched hippocampal cultures. A similar interaction was observed in C6 glioma and human embryonic kidney cells after co-transfection with Myc epitope-tagged EAAC1 and NMDA receptor subunits. Co-transfection of C6 glioma with the combination of NR1 and NR2 subunits dramatically increased (approximately 3-fold) the amount of Myc-EAAC1 that can be labeled with a membrane-impermeable biotinylating reagent. In hippocampal cultures, brief (5 min), robust (100 microM NMDA, 10 microM glycine) activation of the NMDA receptor decreased biotinylated EAAC1 to approximately 50% of control levels. This effect was inhibited by an NMDA receptor antagonist, intracellular or extracellular calcium chelators, or hypertonic sucrose. Glutamate, alpha-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazole propionic acid with cyclothiazide, and thapsigargin mimicked the effects of NMDA. These studies suggest that NMDA receptors interact with EAAC1, facilitate cell surface expression of EAAC1 under basal conditions, and control internalization of EAAC1 upon activation. This NMDA receptor-dependent regulation of EAAC1 provides a novel mechanism that may shape excitatory signaling during synaptic plasticity and/or excitotoxicity. 相似文献

Dopamine levels in the brain are controlled by the plasma membrane dopamine transporter (DAT). The amount of DAT at the cell surface is determined by the relative rates of its internalization and recycling. Activation of protein kinase C (PKC) leads to acceleration of DAT endocytosis. We have recently demonstrated that PKC activation also results in ubiquitylation of DAT. To directly address the role of DAT ubiquitylation, lysine residues in DAT were mutated. Mutations of each lysine individually did not affect ubiquitylation and endocytosis of DAT. By contrast, ubiquitylation of mutants carrying multiple lysine substitutions was reduced in cells treated with phorbol ester to the levels detected in nonstimulated cells. Altogether, mutagenesis data suggested that Lys19, Lys27, and Lys35 clustered in the DAT amino-terminus are the major ubiquitin-conjugation sites. The data are consistent with the model whereby at any given time only one of the lysines in DAT is conjugated with a short ubiquitin chain. Importantly, cell surface biotinylation, immunofluorescence and down-regulation experiments revealed that PKC-dependent internalization of multilysine mutants was essentially abolished. These data provide the first evidence that the ubiquitin moieties conjugated to DAT may serve as a molecular interface of the transporter interaction with the endocytic machinery. 相似文献

The dopamine transporter plays an essential role in the modulation of dopaminergic neurotransmission by mediating the reuptake of dopamine into presynaptic neurons. In cells expressing the dopamine transporter, activation of protein kinase C by phorbol esters results in a significant reduction in dopamine uptake. This phorbol ester-mediated inhibition of dopamine transport is associated with a decrease in V(max), although the apparent affinity of the transporter for dopamine remains unchanged. Using a green fluorescent protein-tagged dopamine transporter stably expressed in Madin-Darby canine kidney cells, we show in live cells that the decrease in transporter activity is caused by the rapid internalization of carriers from the plasma membrane. This redistribution of the transporter is specific to phorbol ester activation and is unaffected by the presence of either substrates or inhibitors of the carrier. Upon the addition of phorbol esters, transporters at the cell surface are rapidly endocytosed through a clathrin-mediated and dynamin-dependent mechanism into early endosomes, where they colocalize with transferrin. The internalized carrier is targeted to the endosomal/lysosomal pathway and is completely degraded within 2 h of protein kinase C activation. Phorbol ester-mediated alterations in the trafficking of the dopamine transporter may serve as a mechanism for controlling extracellular dopamine levels in the central nervous system. 相似文献

Excitatory amino acid transporters (EAATs) are the primary regulators of extracellular glutamate concentrations in the central nervous system. Their dysfunction may contribute to several neurological diseases. To date, five distinct mammalian glutamate transporters have been cloned. In brain, EAAC1 (excitatory amino acid carrier 1) is the primary neuronal glutamate transporter, localized on the perisynaptic membranes that are near release sites. Despite its potential importance in synaptic actions, little is known concerning the regulation of EAAC1 trafficking from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) to the cell surface. Previously, we identified an EAAC1-associated protein, GTRAP3-18, an ER protein that prevents ER exit of EAAC1 when induced. Here we show that RTN2B, a member of the reticulon protein family that mainly localizes in the ER and ER exit sites interacts with EAAC1 and GTRAP3-18. EAAC1 and GTRAP3-18 bind to different regions of RTN2B. Each protein can separately and independently form complexes with EAAC1. RTN2B enhances ER exit and the cell surface composition of EAAC1 in heterologous cells. Expression of short interfering RNA-mediated knockdown of RTN2B decreases the EAAC1 protein level in neurons. Overall, our results suggest that RTN2B functions as a positive regulator in the delivery of EAAC1 from the ER to the cell surface. These studies indicate that transporter exit from the ER controlled by the interaction with its ER binding partner represents a critical regulatory step in glutamate transporter trafficking to the cell surface. 相似文献

Phosphorylation of membrane glycoproteins has often been invoked as a determinant of receptor internalization and receptor trafficking in a more general sense. Here we have studied the trafficking of major histocompatibility complex (MHC) Class I molecules and transferrin receptor (Tfr) related to their phosphorylation status in the human lymphoblastoid cell line JY. High resolution isoelectric focusing (IEF) allows the visualization of phosphorylated and non-phosphorylated protein species simultaneously, using protein backbone-labeling. Analysis on IEF was combined with a neuraminidase protection assay, in which sialic acid modification of the N-linked glycans present on Tfr and Class I molecules is used as a reporter group for cell surface expression. Phosphorylation of Class I heavy chains and Tfr was induced by exposure of cells to the phorbol ester tetradecanoyl phorbol acetate. We show that 1) phosphorylation of MHC Class I molecules is restricted to the cell surface fraction, 2) phosphorylation of MHC Class I molecules by protein kinase C (PKC) is not correlated with their internalization, as no internalization of Class I molecules, phosphorylated or non-phosphorylated, could be detected, 3) the initial rate, but not the final extent of the internalization of Tfr is affected by activation of PKC, and 4) phosphorylated Tfr behaves in a manner identical to non-phosphorylated Tfr in terms of internalization. The effect of activation of PKC on internalization of Tfr therefore most likely takes place at the level of the internalization machinery. Our data concerning the internalization of MHC Class I molecules contrast with earlier studies describing constitutive internalization in the B lymphoblastoid cell line A 46 and in HPB-ALL cells. 相似文献

Na(+)-dependent glutamate transporters are required for the clearance of extracellular glutamate and influence both physiological and pathological effects of this excitatory amino acid. In the present study, the effects of a protein kinase C (PKC) activator on the cell surface expression and activity of the GLT-1 subtype of glutamate transporter were examined in two model systems, primary co-cultures of neurons and astrocytes that endogenously express GLT-1 and C6 glioma cells transfected with GLT-1. In both systems, activation of PKC with phorbol ester caused a decrease in GLT-1 cell surface expression. This effect is opposite to the one observed for the EAAC1 subtype of glutamate transporter (Davis, K. E., Straff, D. J., Weinstein, E. A., Bannerman, P. G., Correale, D. M., Rothstein, J. D., and Robinson, M. B. (1998) J. Neurosci. 18, 2475-2485). Several recombinant chimeric proteins between GLT-1 and EAAC1 transporter subtypes were generated to identify domains required for the subtype-specific redistribution of GLT-1. We identified a carboxyl-terminal domain consisting of 43 amino acids (amino acids 475-517) that is required for PKC-induced GLT-1 redistribution. Mutation of a non-conserved serine residue at position 486 partially attenuated but did not completely abolish the PKC-dependent redistribution of GLT-1. Although we observed a phorbol ester-dependent incorporation of (32)P into immunoprecipitable GLT-1, mutation of serine 486 did not reduce this signal. We also found that chimeras containing the first 446 amino acids of GLT-1 were not functional unless amino acids 475-517 of GLT-1 were also present. These non-functional transporters were not as efficiently expressed on the cell surface and migrated to a smaller molecular weight, suggesting that a subtype-specific interaction is required for the formation of functional transporters. These studies demonstrate a novel effect of PKC on GLT-1 activity and define a unique carboxyl-terminal domain as an important determinant in cellular localization and regulation of GLT-1. 相似文献

Human organic anion transporter 3 (hOAT3) belongs to a family of organic anion transporters that play critical roles in the body disposition of numerous clinically important drugs. Therefore, understanding the regulation of this transporter has profound clinical significance. In the current study, we investigated the short-term and long-term regulation of hOAT3 by protein kinase C (PKC). We showed that short-term activation of PKC by phobol 12-Myristate 13-Acetate (PMA) inhibited hOAT3 activity through accelerating its internalization from cell surface to intracellular recycling endosomes. The colocalization of hOAT3 with EEA1-positive recycling endosomes was demonstrated by immunolocalization with confocal microscopy. Furthermore, we showed that long-term activation of PKC resulted in the enhanced degradation of cell surface hOAT3. The pathways for hOAT3 degradation were further examined using proteasomal and lysosomal inhibitors. Our results showed that both proteasomal inhibitors and the lysosomal inhibitors significantly blocked hOAT3 degradation. These results demonstrate that PKC plays critical roles in the trafficking and the stability of hOAT3. 相似文献

Rat C6 glioma cells were used as a model system to study the biosynthesis, intracellular targeting, and degradation of the EAAC1 transporter, a sodium-dependent glutamate/aspartate transport protein that encodes System X(-)A,G activity. At steady state, nearly 70% of the EAAC1 transporter was located at the cell surface. The newly synthesized EAAC1 protein was co-translationally N-glycosylated with high mannose oligosaccharide chains that were processed into complex-type sugar chains as the protein matured. The final maturation steps for EAAC1 protein coincided with its plasma membrane arrival, which was first detected at about 45 min after the initial synthesis. The newly synthesized EAAC1 protein was protected from degradation during the maturation and targeting process, as well as during the first 5 h after plasma membrane arrival. After this initial lag period, both the newly synthesized transporter and the total cellular EAAC1 pool were degraded by first order kinetics with a half-life of 6 h. These results represent the first analysis of the synthesis and degradation of the EAAC1 amino acid transporter. 相似文献

The neuronal glycine transporter GLYT2 controls the availability of the neurotransmitter in glycinergic synapses, and the modulation of its function may influence synaptic transmission. The active transporter is located in membrane rafts and reaches the cell surface through intracellular trafficking. In the present study we prove that GLYT2 constitutively recycles between the cell interior and the plasma membrane by means of a monensin-sensitive trafficking pathway. Also, a regulated trafficking can be triggered by PMA. We demonstrate that PMA inhibits GLYT2 transport by causing net accumulation of the protein in internal compartments through an increase of the internalization rate. In addition, a small increase of plasma membrane delivery and a redistribution of the transporter to non-raft domains is triggered by PMA. A previously identified phorbol-ester-resistant mutant (K422E) displaying an acidic substitution in a regulatory site, exhibits constitutive traffic but, in contrast with the wild-type, fails to show glycine uptake inhibition, membrane raft redistribution and trafficking modulation by PMA. We prove that the action of PMA on GLYT2 involves PKC (protein kinase C)-dependent and -independent pathways, although an important fraction of the effects are PKC-mediated. We show the additional participation of signalling pathways triggered by the small GTPase Rac1 on PMA action. GLYT2 inhibition by PMA and monensin also take place in brainstem primary neurons and synaptosomes, pointing to a GLYT2 trafficking regulation in the central nervous system. 相似文献

Organic anion transporter 1 (OAT1) mediates the body disposition of a diverse array of environmental toxins and clinically important drugs. Therefore, understanding the regulation of this transporter has profound clinical significance. We previously demonstrate that OAT1 activity was down-regulated by activation of protein kinase C (PKC), kinetically revealed as a decrease in the maximum transport velocity V(max) without significant change in the substrate affinity K(m) of the transporter. In the current study, we showed that OAT1 constitutively internalized from and recycled back to the plasma membrane, and PKC activation accelerated OAT1 internalization without affecting OAT1 recycling. We further showed that treatment of OAT1-expressing cells with concanavalin A, depletion of K(+) from the cells, or transfection of dominant negative mutants of dynamin-2 or Eps15 into the cells, all of which block the clathrin-dependent endocytotic pathway, significantly blocked constitutive and PKC-regulated OAT1 internalization. We finally showed that OAT1 colocalized with transferrin, a marker for clathrin-dependent endocytosis, at the cell surface and in the EEA1-positive early endosomes. Together, our findings demonstrated for the first time that (i) OAT1 constitutively traffics between plasma membrane and recycling endosomes, (ii) PKC activation down-regulates OAT1 activity by altering already existent OAT1 trafficking, and (iii) OAT1 internalization occurs partly through a dynamin- and clathrin-dependent pathway. 相似文献

At the glutamatergic synapse the neurotransmitter is removed from the synaptic cleft by high affinity amino acid transporters located on neurons (EAAC1) and astrocytes (GLAST and GLT1), and a coordinated action of these cells is necessary in order to regulate glutamate extracellular concentration. We show here that treatment of neuronal cultures with glial soluble factors (GCM) is associated with a redistribution of EAAC1 and GLAST to the cell membrane and we analysed the effect of membrane cholesterol depletion on this regulation. In enriched neuronal culture (90% neurons and 10% astrocytes), GCM treatment for 10 days increases EAAC1 and GLAST cell surface expression with no change in total expression. In opposite, GLT1 surface expression is not modified by GCM but total expression is increased. When cholesterol is acutely depleted from the membrane by 10 mM methyl-beta-cyclodextrin (β5-MCD, 30 min), glutamate transport activity and cell surface expressions of EAAC1 and GLAST are decreased in the enriched neuronal culture treated by GCM. In pure neuronal culture addition of GCM also increases EAAC1 cell membrane expression but surprisingly acute treatment with β5-MCD decreases glutamate uptake activity but not EAAC1 cell membrane expression. By immunocytochemistry a modification in the distribution of EAAC1 within neurons was undetectable whatever the treatment but we show that EAAC1 was no more co localized with Thy-1 in the enriched neuronal culture treated by GCM suggesting that GCM have stimulated polarity formation in neurons, an index of maturation. In conclusion we suggest that different regulatory mechanisms are involved after GCM treatment, glutamate transporter trafficking to and from the plasma membrane in enriched neuronal culture and modulation of EAAC1 intrinsic activity and/or association with regulatory proteins at the cell membrane in the pure neuronal culture. These different regulatory pathways of EAAC1 are associated with different neuronal maturation stages. 相似文献
