ATP-dependent uptake of glutamate into synaptic vesicles has been well documented. Stimulation of glutamate uptake into synaptic vesicles by other high-energy phosphates has not been described. In this paper, we examine the stimulation of phosphocreatine (PCr)-induced glutamate uptake and determine whether this stimulation is secondary to conversion of PCr to ATP. We found the following. 1) PCr stimulates glutamate uptake into synaptic vesicles in the absence of added ATP. 2) At a glutamate concentration of 50 microM, no concentration of added ATP could produce the degree of stimulation seen in the presence of PCr. 3) 0.5 mM iodoacetamide completely inhibits synaptic vesicle creatine kinase activity but does not inhibit PCr-stimulated glutamate uptake. 4) PCr-dependent glutamate uptake, unlike ATP-dependent uptake, is not magnesium- or chloride-dependent. 5) 0.5 mM N-ethylmaleimide, a selective H+-ATPase inhibitor, completely inhibits ATP-dependent glutamate uptake but only slightly inhibits PCr-dependent glutamate uptake. 6) PCr-dependent glutamate uptake is sensitive to valinomycin, a K+/H+ translocator, whereas the ATP-dependent uptake is not. Therefore, it appears that in addition to the well-known ATP-dependent glutamate uptake system, there is a previously unreported PCr-dependent glutamate uptake system in synaptic vesicles. The total glutamate uptake by synaptic vesicles is likely the sum of both ATP- and PCr-dependent glutamate uptake.
