Crystal structure of a bacterial homologue of Na+/Cl--dependent neurotransmitter transporters.

  ABSTRACT  
 
Na+/Cl--dependent transporters terminate synaptic transmission by using electrochemical gradients to drive the uptake of neurotransmitters, including the biogenic amines, from the synapse to the cytoplasm of neurons and glia. These transporters are the targets of therapeutic and illicit compounds, and their dysfunction has been implicated in multiple diseases of the nervous system. Here we present the crystal structure of a bacterial homologue of these transporters from Aquifex aeolicus, in complex with its substrate, leucine, and two sodium ions. The protein core consists of the first ten of twelve transmembrane segments, with segments 1-5 related to 6-10 by a pseudo-two-fold axis in the membrane plane. Leucine and the sodium ions are bound within the protein core, halfway across the membrane bilayer, in an occluded site devoid of water. The leucine and ion binding sites are defined by partially unwound transmembrane helices, with main-chain atoms and helix dipoles having key roles in substrate and ion binding. The structure reveals the architecture of this important class of transporter, illuminates the determinants of substrate binding and ion selectivity, and defines the external and internal gates.

Connolly surface of LeuT[Aa] is shown in beige. l-Leucine, Tyr 108, Phe 253 and the two charged pairs (Arg 30 -Asp 404 and Arg 5 -Asp 369) are depicted as stick models in yellow for leucine, purple for aromatic residues, blue for arginines and red for aspartates. b, c, Key interacting residues at the extracellular (b) and at the cytoplasmic (c) gate.

Figure 6: Speculative transport mechanism. Schematic drawing of a possible conformational change upon substrate/sodium ion transport. The left panel shows the outward-facing state. TM1a and TM6b assume the closed arrangement, whereas TM1b and TM6a adopt the open one. The middle panel shows the substrate-occluded state, which corresponds to the current crystal structure. TM1a and TM6b assume the closed arrangement, whereas TM1b and TM6a adopt a partially open one with some residues blocking the permeation pathway. The right panel shows the inward-facing state. TM1b and TM6a assume the closed arrangement, whereas TM1a and TM6b adopt the closed one, to open the pathway to the cytoplasm.
