Analysis of Transmembrane Segment 7 of the Dipeptide Transporter hPepT1 by Cysteine-scanning Mutagenesis

Abstract: To investigate the involvement of transmembrane segment 7 (TMS7) of hPepT1 in forming the putative central aqueous channel through which the substrate traverses, we individually mutated each of the 21 amino acids in TMS7 to a cysteine and analyzed the mutated transporters using the scanning cysteine accessibility method. Y287C-and M292C-hPepT1 did not express at the plasma membrane. Out of the remaining 19 transporters, three (F293C-, L296C-, and F297C-hPepT1) showed negligible glycyl-sarcosine (gly-sar) uptak… Show more

“…Previous studies have shown that tyrosine residues in positions 54, 65, and 167 seem to be involved in proton binding (Yeung et al, 1998;Chen et al, 2000). For position 282, a substitution of arginine to lysine did not alter PEPT1 transport activity, whereas substitution to glutamine resulted in the uncoupling of proton dependence (Kulkarni et al, 2003). Because the three-dimensional structure of PEPT1 is currently unknown, no one knows how these residues interact.…”

“…Recently, it has been demonstrated that the transmembrane helix 7 of hPepT1 is important for hPepT1 transport activity (19). Interestingly, it was found that mutation at F293, F297, and L296 in transmembrane segment 7 of hPepT1 dramatically decreased the transport activity without affecting the delivery to membrane of this transporter (19). In contrast, substitution of T281 did not decrease hPepT1 transport activity (19).…”

In contrast, substitution of T281 did not decrease hPepT1 transport activity (19). It has also been hypothesized that some hydrophobic amino acid residues such as phenylalanine in transmembrane domains (TMDs) of transmembrane proteins may be important for their interaction with lipid rafts (41).…”

“…The tyrosine residue Y167 has an important function as well, since its mutation to alanine completely abolished transport via PepT1 [15]. By using the cysteine scanning method, Kulkarni and coworkers [16] identified several residues important for the transport function in transmembrane segments 5 and 7 and suggested that these segments line the putative aqueous channel. Finally, the same authors identified two oppositely charged residues (R282 and D341) in transmembrane segments 7 and 8, respectively, that form a salt bridge and play an important role in the substrate translocation via PepT1 [17].…”
