Screening of Functional Norepinephrine Transporter Insensitive to Cocaine Inhibition and Generation of Knock-In Mouse SCREENING OF FUNCTIONAL NOREPINEPHRINE TRANSPORTER INSENSITIVE TO COCAINE INHIBITION AND GENERATION OF KNOCK-IN MOUSE DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of the Ohio State University By Hua Wei, M.S. ***** The Ohio State University 2009 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Howard Haogang Gu, PhD, Advisor ___________________________ Lane Jackson Wallace, PhD Advisor Michael Xi Zhu, PhD Biochemistry Graduate Program James Willam Dewille, PhD ABSTRACT This dissertation consists of three parts. The first part explores the possibility of screening a functional but cocaine insensitive norepinephrine transporter and generation of a cocaine insensitive knock-in mouse line, the second part attempts to identify residues in mouse norepinephrine transporter (NET) transmembrane domain 3 (TMD3) that would differentiate norepinephrine and dopamine uptake, while the third part discusses that two extracellular cysteines in dopamine transporter form a disulfide bond, which is vital for the transporter’s function. Cocaine blocks dopamine transporter (DAT), NET and serotonin transporters (SERT) in the brain and increases extracellular neurotransmitter concentration in various brain regions. It is not known how each of these contributes to complex cocaine addictive effects. Genetically modified mice with a single one of these transporter removed still prefer cocaine, suggesting that none of them is absolutely required for cocaine rewarding effect. We have generated one unique knock-in mouse line, carrying a cocaine insensitive DAT. This mouse line does not show cocaine preference when given cocaine, which showed that DAT is necessary for cocaine rewarding effects. However, how NET is involved in cocaine addictive effect is still unknown. Based on the previous study, I performed several round of random mutagenesis around ii residuesF105 and F150 in transmembrane regions 2 and 3 region. One triple mutation (F101C-A105G-N153T, mNETCGT) that retains wild type uptake activity for substrates but displays decreased cocaine affinity by 37 fold was found. Interestingly, this mutation also decreases desipramine affinity by 24 fold. These results reveal a number of residues in transmembrane regions 2 and 3 that are important for inhibition by different drugs. To study the exact role of NET involved in cocaine addiction, a knock-in mouse line carrying the above functional and cocaine insensitive NET was generated by replacing wild type NET with mNETCGT. Feeder cell free ES cells (E14Tg2A) were introduced to generate a unique mouse line. This mouse line will be used to study the role of NET in mediating the addictive action of cocaine and the therapeutic effect of desipramine. Recent research revealed that NET also plays an important role in the regulation of DA homeostasis. Hence, delineating residues of NET differentially involved in DA and NE uptake would provide potential intervention for treatment of drug abuse, depression or other related psychiatric disorders. Our study identified for the first time residues in the TM3 region of mNET that are more critical for NE uptake than DA. Dopaminergic neurotransmission is terminated by removal of extracellular dopamine via DAT, which belongs to a Na+/Cl- dependant neurotransmitter superfamily. Information about the structure and function relationship of transporters allows us to better understand the molecular mechanism of these transporters and therapeutic drug iii design. Cysteine residues in transporters form inter- or intra- molecular disulfide bonds which may be critical for proper protein folding, trafficking, surface expression, stability and uptake function. Replacing two extracellular cysteines with alanine in Drosophila melanogaster DAT (dmDAT) abolished transporter uptake activity and surface expression. It has been proposed that these two cysteines form a disulfide bond. However, there was no evidence for the existence of such a disulfide bond. Thus, Dr. Gu generated one functional dmDAT mutant with all cysteines replaced by other residues except two extracellular loop cysteines (EL2), and this mutant was analyzed for this EL2 disulfide bond function. iv DEDICATION Dedicated to my parents, grandparents, and the rest of my family. v ACKNOWLEDGMENTS First, I would like to acknowledge my advisor Dr. Howard Gu who has always been supportive, helpful and patient throughout my time in the lab. Without his guidance and support, I would not be able to accomplish my doctoral degree. I am very grateful to Drs. Lane Jackson Wallace, Michael Xi Zhu, and James Willam DeWille for intellectual supports as well as serving on my committee. I wish to thank my colleagues, Rong Chen, Michael Tilley, Dawn Han, Erik R. Hill, Brian O’Neill, Brad Martin and Bart Naughton for their great helpfulness and friendship. Working with them made my research in the lab rather enjoyable.

  • Differential Pulse Polarographic Study of Simple and Mixed Complexes of Copper Ions with the Antidepressant Drug Imipramine and Glutamic Acid Or Histidine
    Differential Pulse Polarographic Study of Simple and Mixed Complexes of Copper Ions with the Antidepressant Drug Imipramine and Glutamic Acid or Histidine M. KHODARI Department of Chemistry, Faculty of Science, South Valley University, Qena, Egypt Received 12 May 1997 The formation of binary and ternary complexes of glutamic acid or histidine and imipramine with Cu(II) has been examined using differential pulse Polarographie technique. The reduction of both simple and mixed systems is reversible and controlled by diffusion. The obtained results reveal the formation of mixed complexes. For the system Cu—Glu—Imip, one mixed complex was formed: Cu(Glu)(Imip)2 with stability constant log{/3i2} = 10.51, while the system Cu—His— Imip forms two complexes Cu(His)(Imip) and Cu(His)(Imip)2 with stabilities log{/?n} = 6.25 and log{/?i2} = 8.77, respectively. These experimental values were compared with the statistical ones.
