Recent evidence indicates that several members of the
Na+-coupled transporter family are regulated, and this
regulation in part occurs by redistribution of transporters between
intracellular locations and the plasma membrane. We elucidate
components of this process for both wild-type and mutant GABA
transporters (GAT1) expressed in Xenopus oocytes using a
combination of uptake assays, immunoblots, and electrophysiological
measurements of membrane capacitance, transport-associated currents,
and GAT1-specific charge movements. At low GAT1 expression levels,
activators of protein kinase C (PKC) induce redistribution of GAT1 from
intracellular vesicles to the plasma membrane; at higher GAT1
expression levels, activators of PKC fail to induce this
redistribution. However, coinjection of total rat brain mRNA with GAT1
permits PKC-mediated modulation at high transporter expression levels.
This effect of brain mRNA on modulation is mimicked by coinjection of
syntaxin 1a mRNA and is eliminated by injecting synaptophysin or
syntaxin antisense oligonucleotides. Additionally, botulinum toxins,
which inactivate proteins involved in vesicle release and recycling, reduce basal GAT1 expression and prevent PKC-induced translocation. Mutant GAT1 proteins, in which most or all of a leucine heptad repeat
sequence was removed, display altered basal distribution and lack
susceptibility to modulation by PKC, delineating one region of GAT1
necessary for its targeting. Thus, functional regulation of GAT1 in
oocytes occurs via components common to transporters and to trafficking
in both neural and non-neural cells, and suggests a relationship
between factors that control neurotransmitter secretion and the
components necessary for neurotransmitter uptake.
