X-ray structure of Drosophila dopamine transporter in complex with nisoxetine
| ||||||||||||
Structural highlights
Publication Abstract from PubMedMost antidepressants elicit their therapeutic benefits through selective blockade of Na+/Cl--coupled neurotransmitter transporters. Here we report X-ray structures of the Drosophila melanogaster dopamine transporter in complexes with the polycyclic antidepressants nisoxetine or reboxetine. The inhibitors stabilize the transporter in an outward-open conformation by occupying the substrate-binding site. These structures explain how interactions between the binding pocket and substituents on the aromatic rings of antidepressants modulate drug-transporter selectivity.
