The binding affinity of the cocaine analog
[3H]2 -carbomethoxy-3 -(4-fluorophenyl) tropane
(WIN) for the dopamine transporter (DAT) is increased by the reaction
of Cys-90, at the extracellular end of the first transmembrane segment,
with methanethiosulfonate (MTS) reagents. Cocaine enhances the reaction
of Cys-90 with the sulfhydryl reagents, thereby augmenting the increase
in binding. In contrast, cocaine decreases the reaction of Cys-135 and
Cys-342, endogenous cysteines in cytoplasmic loops, with MTS reagents. Because this reaction inhibits [3H]WIN binding, cocaine
protects against the loss of binding caused by reaction of these
cysteines. In the present work, we compare the abilities of DAT
inhibitors and substrates to affect the reaction of Cys-90, Cys-135,
and Cys-342 with MTS ethyltrimethylammonium (MTSET). The results
indicate that the different abilities of compounds to protect against
the MTSET-induced inhibition of binding are attributable to
differences in their abilities to attenuate the inhibitory effects of
modification of Cys-135 and Cys-342 as well as to enhance the reaction
with Cys-90 and the resulting potentiation of binding. The inhibitor
benztropine was unique in its inability to protect Cys-135. Moreover,
whereas cocaine, WIN, mazindol, and dopamine enhanced the reaction of
Cys-90 with MTSET, benztropine had no effect on this reaction. These
two features combine to give benztropine its weak potency in protecting
ligand binding to wild-type DAT from MTSET. These results indicate that different inhibitors of DAT, such as cocaine and benztropine, produce
different conformational changes in the transporter. There are
differences in the psychomotor stimulant-like effects of these compounds, and it is possible that the different behavioral effects of
these DAT inhibitors stem from their different molecular actions on
DAT.
