Abstract excerpt
All creatine transporters contain a cysteine residue (Cys(144)) in the third transmembrane domain that is not present in other members of the Na+,Cl(-)-dependent family of neurotransmitter transporters. Site-directed mutagenesis and reaction with methane thiosulfonates were used to investigate the importance of Cys(144) for transporter function. Replacement of Cys(144) with Ser did not significantly affect the...
