“…All of the above effectors—ERK, PKC, PP1, PP2A, CaMKII, Akt, and phosphoinositide 3‐kinase (PI3K)—are directly linked to activity‐dependent signaling, providing a potential mechanism by which changes in terminal excitability can regulate clearance on a rapid timescale. Indeed, changes in membrane potential alter DAT membrane expression and dopamine clearance via rapid DAT trafficking on a second timescale, through interactions Rit2 (Fagan, Kearney, & Sweeney, 2020; Richardson et al., 2016; Sweeney et al., 2020). Additionally, increasing dopamine neuron activity increased phosphorylated‐ERK, DAT phosphorylation at threonine53 (known to be phosphorylated by ERK), and leads to functional increases in DAT‐mediated dopamine clearance rates (Calipari, Juarez, et al, 2017).…”
