Function

SC6A4_HUMAN Serotonin transporter whose primary function in the central nervous system involves the regulation of serotonergic signaling via transport of serotonin molecules from the synaptic cleft back into the pre-synaptic terminal for re-utilization. Plays a key role in mediating regulation of the availability of serotonin to other receptors of serotonergic systems. Terminates the action of serotonin and recycles it in a sodium-dependent manner.[1] [2] [3]

Publication Abstract from PubMed

The serotonin transporter (SERT) terminates serotonin signaling by using sodium and chloride gradients to drive reuptake of serotonin into presynaptic neurons and is the target of widely used medications to treat neuropsychiatric disorders. Despite decades of study, the molecular mechanism of serotonin transport, the coupling to ion gradients, and the role of the allosteric site have remained elusive. Here, we present cryo-electron microscopy structures of SERT in serotonin-bound and serotonin-free states, in the presence of sodium or potassium, resolving all fundamental states of the transport cycle. From the SERT-serotonin complex, we localize the substrate-bound allosteric site, formed by an aromatic pocket positioned in the scaffold domain in the extracellular vestibule, connected to the central site via a short tunnel. Together with elucidation of multiple apo state conformations, we provide previously unseen structural understanding of allosteric modulation, demonstrating how SERT binds serotonin from synaptic volumes and promotes unbinding into the presynaptic neurons.
