N-terminus regulation of VMAT2 mediates methamphetamine-stimulated efflux.
Neuroscience - 14 Feb 2014
Torres B, Ruoho A E
Abstract excerpt
The 20 amino acid (AA) N-terminus of the vesicular monoamine transporter 2 (VMAT2) was examined as a regulator of VMAT2 function. Removal of the first 16 or 19 AAs of the N-terminus resulted in a molecule with reduced ability to sequester [(3)H]-5HT. A glutathione-S-transferase-construct of the N-terminus underwent phosphorylation in the presence of PKC at serines 15 and 18. These putative phosphorylation sites...
