Abstract excerpt
Residues 386-423 of the rat brain serotonin transporter (SERT) are predicted to form a hydrophilic loop connecting transmembrane spans 7 and 8 (extracellular loop 4 or EL4). EL4 has been hypothesized to play a role in conformational changes associated with substrate translocation. To more fully investigate EL4 structure and function, we performed cysteine-scanning mutagenesis and methanethiosulfonate (MTS)...
