1 In order to delineate structural motifs regulating substrate affinity and recognition for the human dopamine transporter (DAT), we assessed [3H]dopamine uptake kinetics and [3H]CFT binding characteristics of COS-7 cells transiently expressing mutant DATs in which the COOH terminus was truncated or substituted.

5 Complete truncation of the carboxyl tail from Ser582 allowed for the expression of biphasic [3H]dopamine uptake kinetics displaying both a low capacity (Vmax approximately 0.4 pmol/10(5) cells/min) high affinity (Km approximately 300 nM) component and one exhibiting low affinity (Km approximately 15 microM] and high capacity (Vmax approximately 5 pmol/10(5)cells/min) with a concomitant 40% decrease in overall apparent Vmax relative to wild type (WT) DAT.

6 In marked contrast, DAT truncation/substitution mutants displayed significantly reduced high affinity [3H]CFT binding interactions with estimated Ki values for dopamine and numerous other substrates and inhibitors tested from 10-100-fold lower than that observed for WT DAT.
