Abstract

Neurotransmitter transporters, which remove neurotransmittesr from the synaptic cleft, are regulated by second messenger such as protein kinases and binding proteins. Neuronal ${\gamma}-aminobutyric$ acid transporters (GATs) are responsible for removing the inhibitory neurotransmitter ${\gamma}-aminobutyric$ acid (GABA) from the synaptic cleft. ${\gamma}-aminobutyric$ acid transporters 2 (GAT2/BGT1) is involved in regulating neurotransmitter recycling, but the mechanism how they are stabilized and regulated by the specific binding protein has not yet been elucidated. Here, we used the yeast two-hybrid system to identify the specific binding protein(s) that interacts with the C-terminal region of GAT2 and found a specific interaction with the mammalian LIN-7b (MALS-2). MALS-2 protein bound to the tail region of GAT2 but not to other GAT members in the yeast two-hybrid assay. The "T-X-L" motif at the C-terminal end of GAT2 is essential for interaction with MALS-2. In addition, this protein showed specific interactions in the glutathione S-transferase (GST) pull-down assay. An antibody to GAT2 specifically co-immunoprecipitated MALS associated with GAT2 from mouse brain extracts. These results suggest that MALS may stabilize GAT2 in brain.

신경전달물질을 수송하는 신경전달물질 수송체는 연접전막에서 신경전달물질의 농도를 조절한다. 신경세포에 발현하는 GATs들은 연접에서 억제성 신경전달물질인 GABA의 재흡수에 관여한다. GAT2/BGT1가 어떻게 연접전막에 안정적으로 존재하는지, 어떤 결합단백질과 결합하여 조절을 받는지는 알려져 있지 않다. 본 연구에서 효모 two-hybrid system을 사용하여 GAT2의 C-말단과 특이적으로 결합하는 mammalian Lin-7 (MALS)-2을 분리하였다. GAT2의 C-말단에 존재하는 "T-X-L"아미노산 배열이 MALS-2와의 결합에 필수적으로 관여하였다. 또한 이 단백질간의 결합을 pull-down assay로 확인한 결과 MALS는 glutathione S-transferase (GST)와는 결합하지 않으나 GST-GAT2와는 결합하였다. 또한 생쥐의 뇌 균질액에서 GAT2는 MALS와 함께 침강함을 면역침강으로 확인하였다. 이러한 결과들은 MALS가 GAT2와 결합하여 GAT2를 연접전막에서 안정화시키는 역할을 함을 시사한다.
