    Notes: Abstract Binding sites for 2β-carbomethoxy-3β-(4-fluorophenyl)[3H]tropane ([3H]WIN 35,428) on rat striatal membranes were alkylated with N-ethylmaleimide (NEM), and the protective potency was measured of the blockers cocaine, N[1-(2-benzo[b]thiophenyl) cyclohexyl]piperidine (BTCP), benztropine, WIN 35,428, and nomifensine, and of the substrates dopamine, norepinephrine, S(+)-amphetamine, tyramine, and metaraminol. In general, the protective potency was lower (at least 3 times) than the potency in inhibiting [3H]WIN 35,428 binding with the compounds present under the same experimental conditions used for the NEM-induced alkylation. However, the disparity was substantially greater for all substrates tested (10- to 93-fold) than for the blockers (2- to 6-fold), especially cocaine and BTCP (3-fold). [3H]WIN 35,428 binding was best described by a 1-site model under the present conditions. The results are discussed in terms of models involving blocker-induced conformational changes and overlapping nonidentical binding domains for blockers and substrates.

    Notes: Abstract Translocation of [3H]dopamine and binding of [3H]WIN 35,428 were measured in intact C6 glioma cells expressing the cloned human dopamine transporter (hDAT) under identical conditions of assay buffer (phosphate-Krebs) and temperature (25°C) with uptake at initial velocity and binding at equilibrium. In the intact cells, [3H]dopamine uptake was a one-component process; in contrast, [3H]WIN 35,428 binding included both a high-affinity component, inhibitable by micromolar concentrations of dopamine, and a low-affinity component only partially inhibited by millimolar concentrations of dopamine. Binding (high-affinity) over uptake Ki ratios were on the average 2.3 for the inhibitors WIN 35,428, cocaine, GBR 12909, and BTCP. The potency of dopamine in inhibiting its own translocation was close to that in inhibiting [3H]WIN 35,428 binding consonant with a more rapid reorientation step of the DAT in the C6-hDAT system than in rat striatal synaptosomes. The similarity in turnover values of the DAT estimated in the current experiments with the C6-hDAT system and in our previous study on rat striatal synaptosomes, performed under comparable conditions, suggest that all DAT's inserted into the C6 cell membrane are functionally active.
