Abstract excerpt
The sodium-dependent transporters for dopamine, norepinephrine, and serotonin that regulate neurotransmission, also translocate the neurotoxin 1-methyl-4-phenylpyridinium (MPP(+)). Previous studies implicated residues in transmembrane helix (TMH) XI of DAT as important sites for MPP(+) transport. We examined the importance of TMH XI residues F551 and F556 for MPP(+) translocation by human SERT. Mutations at hSERT...
