The human dopamine transporter (hDAT) contains an
endogenous high affinity Zn2+ binding site with three
coordinating residues on its extracellular face (His193,
His375, and Glu396). Upon binding to
this site, Zn2+ causes inhibition of
[3H]1-methyl-4-phenylpyridinium
([3H]MPP+) uptake. We investigated the effect
of Zn2+ on outward transport by superfusing hDAT-expressing
HEK-293 cells preloaded with [3H]MPP+.
Although Zn2+ inhibited uptake, Zn2+
facilitated [3H]MPP+ release induced by
amphetamine, MPP+, or K+-induced depolarization
specifically at hDAT but not at the human serotonin and the
norepinephrine transporter (hNET). Mutation of the Zn2+
coordinating residue His193 to Lys (the corresponding
residue in hNET) eliminated the effect of Zn2+ on efflux.
Conversely, the reciprocal mutation (K189H) conferred Zn2+
sensitivity to hNET. The intracellular
[3H]MPP+ concentration was varied to generate
saturation isotherms; these showed that Zn2+ increased
Vmax for efflux (rather than
KM-Efflux-intracellular). Thus, blockage of inward
transport by Zn2+ is not due to a simple inhibition of the
transporter turnover rate. The observations provide evidence against
the model of facilitated exchange-diffusion and support the concept
that inward and outward transport represent discrete operational modes
of the transporter. In addition, they indicate a physiological role of
Zn2+, because Zn2+ also facilitated transport
reversal of DAT in rat striatal slices.
