title: Syntaxin 1A and receptor for activated C kinase interact with the N-terminal region of human dopamine transporter.
abstract: The dopamine transporter (DAT) regulates the extent and duration of dopamine receptor activation through sodium-dependant reuptake of dopamine into presynaptic neurons, resulting in termination of dopaminergic neurotransmission. Using the yeast two-hybrid system, we have identified novel interactions between DAT, the SNARE protein syntaxin 1A, and the receptor for activated C kinases (RACK1). This association involves the intracellular N-terminal domain of human DAT (hDAT). Our data suggest that hDAT may exist as dimers or oligomers and that its protein-protein interactions with syntaxin 1A and RACK1 form functional regulatory complexes that may mediate DAT trafficking through modulation of hDAT phosphorylation by PKC.
