Abstract
Background: Mutations in "thin" extra-and intracellular gates of GAT-1 impair gating and transport. Results: Transport activity of extracellular gate mutant can be rescued by its intracellular counterpart. Conclusion: A functional interaction of the external and internal gates of GAT-1 is essential for transport. Significance: The new insights into GAT-1 gating may be relevant for other transporters.
