Abstract excerpt
Glutamate transporters (excitatory amino acid transporter (EAATs)) are critical for normal excitatory signaling and maintaining subtoxic glutamate concentrations in mammalian central nervous system. Recently, a crystal structure for a homologous transporter in bacteria was reported. Still, little is understood regarding the mechanism of substrate uptake. In transmembrane domain 4, the mammalian EAATs contain a...
