2.A.23.2.3
Glutamate/aspartate/cysteine:Na+ symporter, EAAC1; EAAT3, SLC1A1 (Li+ can replace Na+; EAAC1 also mediates glutamate-independent anion conductance.) Cotransports glutamic acid with three Na+ followed by countertransport of K+(Teichman et al., 2009). The 50 residue 4B-4C loop (following TMS4) binds Na+ (Koch et al., 2007). (The dicarboxylic aminoaciduria protein in humans; NP_004161; Bröer, 2008a; 2008b). Neutralizing aspartate 83 modifies substrate translocation (Hotzy et al., 2012).  An SLC1A1 deletion segregates with schizophrenia and bipolar schizoaffective disorder in a 5-generation family (Myles-Worsley et al. 2013).  Thr101 in TMS3 is essential for Na+ binding (Tao et al. 2010).  Klotho, a 1012 aa protein with N- and C-terminal TMSs, is a regulator of the excitatory amino acid transporters EAAT3 and EAAT4 (Almilaji et al. 2013). The 3 Na+ binding sites in SLC1A porters have been identified, and both reentrant loops determine cation selectivity (Silverstein et al. 2018).
