pubmed:abstractText
Active accumulation of neurotransmitters by synaptic vesicles is an essential component of the synaptic transmission cycle. Isolated vesicles show energy-dependent uptake of several transmitters by processes which are apparently mediated by a proton electrochemical potential across the vesicle membrane. Although this energy gradient is probably generated by a proton ATPase, the functional separation of ATP cleavage and transmitter uptake activity has only been shown clearly for monoamine transport. We report here that the light-driven proton pump, bacteriorhodopsin, can replace the endogenous proton ATPase in proteoliposomes reconstituted from vesicular detergent extracts. The system shows light-dependent uptake of glutamate with properties very similar to those observed in intact vesicles, e.g. chloride dependence or stimulation by NH4+. Our experiments show that the proton pump and the glutamate transporter are separate entities and provide a powerful tool for further characterization of the glutamate carrier.
