Enhanced Glutamate Uptake into Synaptic Vesicles Fueled by Vesicle-generated ATP from Phosphoenolpyruvate and ADP

Abstract: Glycolytic ATP synthesis by synaptic vesicles provides an efficient mechanism for fueling vesicular loading of the neurotransmitter glutamate. This is achieved in part by vesicle-bound pyruvate kinase. However, we have found that vesicular glutamate uptake, in the presence of the pyruvate kinase substrates ADP and phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP), substantially exceeds that caused by exogenous ATP. We propose that this much enhanced uptake is in part due to extra ATP produced via a mechanism involving a novel enzyme,… Show more

“…Another important mechanism by which glycolytic inhibition might block seizures is related to synaptic transmission. It has been proposed that cytosolic ATP produced by glycolysis is important for presynaptic glutamate loading into synaptic vesicles (Ikemoto et al 2003;Takeda and Ueda 2012). Thus glycolytic inhibition reduces ATP production in the presynaptic terminal, which may decrease glutamate release.…”

“…Perhaps this universal presence of ATP in secretory vesicles suggests that ATP might also be important for functions different from those it performs as a neurotransmitter. It has been suggested that vesicular ATP might be important for acidification of the vesicle lumen (Sperlagh & Vizi, 1996) or for fueling neurotransmitter uptake mechanisms (Takeda & Ueda, 2012). As discussed, other adenine nucleotides can also be accumulated in synaptic vesicles.…”
