== Function == | |||
[[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/EAA1_HUMAN EAA1_HUMAN]] Transports L-glutamate and also L- and D-aspartate. Essential for terminating the postsynaptic action of glutamate by rapidly removing released glutamate from the synaptic cleft. Acts as a symport by cotransporting sodium. | |||

== Publication Abstract from PubMed == | |||
Excitatory amino acid transporters (EAATs) maintain glutamate gradients in the brain essential for neurotransmission and to prevent neuronal death. They use ionic gradients as energy source and co-transport transmitter into the cytoplasm with Na(+) and H(+) , while counter-transporting K(+) to re-initiate the transport cycle. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying ion-coupled transport remain incompletely understood. Here, we present 3D X-ray crystallographic and cryo-EM structures, as well as thermodynamic analysis of human EAAT1 in different ion bound conformations, including elusive counter-transport ion bound states. Binding energies of Na(+) and H(+) , and unexpectedly Ca(2+) , are coupled to neurotransmitter binding. Ca(2+) competes for a conserved Na(+) site, suggesting a regulatory role for Ca(2+) in glutamate transport at the synapse, while H(+) binds to a conserved glutamate residue stabilizing substrate occlusion. The counter-transported ion binding site overlaps with that of glutamate, revealing the K(+) -based mechanism to exclude the transmitter during the transport cycle and to prevent its neurotoxic release on the extracellular side. | |||
