Inhibitor-free outward-open structure of Drosophila dopamine transporter
Structural highlights
FunctionDAT_DROME Sodium-dependent dopamine transporter which terminates the action of dopamine by its high affinity sodium-dependent reuptake into presynaptic terminals (PubMed:11125028, PubMed:12606774, PubMed:24037379, PubMed:25970245). Also transports tyramine and norepinephrine, shows less efficient transport of octopamine and does not transport serotonin (PubMed:11125028, PubMed:12606774). Plays a role in the regulation of the rest/activity cycle (PubMed:16093388, PubMed:25232310).[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] Publication Abstract from PubMedThe regulation of dopamine (DA) removal from the synaptic cleft is a crucial process in neurotransmission and is facilitated by the sodium- and chloride-coupled dopamine transporter DAT. Psychostimulant drugs, cocaine, and amphetamine, both block the uptake of DA, while amphetamine also triggers the release of DA. As a result, they prolong or even amplify neurotransmitter signaling. Atypical inhibitors of DAT lack cocaine-like rewarding effects and offer a promising strategy for the treatment of drug use disorders. Here, we present the 3.2 A resolution cryo-electron microscopy structure of the Drosophila melanogaster dopamine transporter (dDAT) in complex with the atypical non-competitive inhibitor AC-4-248. The inhibitor partially binds at the central binding site, extending into the extracellular vestibule, and locks the transporter in an outward open conformation. Our findings propose mechanisms for the non-competitive inhibition of DAT and attenuation of cocaine potency by AC-4-248 and provide a basis for the rational design of more efficacious atypical inhibitors.
