dc.description.abstract | Synaptic vesicle loading of glutamate is a pivotal step in glutamate synaptic transmission. The molecular machinery responsible for this step is comprised of v‐type proton‐pump ATPase and a vesicular glutamate transporter. Recent evidence indicates that synaptic vesicles are endowed with glycolytic ATP‐synthesizing enzymes, providing energy for immediate use by vesicle‐bound proton‐pump ATPase. In this study, we provide evidence that synaptic vesicles are also capable of synthesizing the vesicular glutamate transporter substrate glutamate, from α‐ketoglutarate and l ‐aspartate (as the amino group donor); glutamate thus produced is taken up into vesicles. We also report a finding that α‐ketoglutarate‐derived glutamate uptake into synaptic vesicles and aspartate aminotransferase are inhibited by 2,3‐pyrazinedicarboxylate. Evidence is given that this is a selective inhibitor for aspartate aminotransferase. These observations provide insight into understanding the nerve endings’ mechanism for high efficiency in glutamate transmission. Finding this inhibitor may have implications for further experimentation on the role of α‐ketoglutarate‐derived glutamate in glutamate transmission. Synaptic vesicle loading of glutamate is the first step in glutamate synaptic transmission. We provide evidence that the VGLUT substrate glutamate is locally synthesized on the surface of vesicles from α‐ketoglutarate and aspartate by aspartate aminotransferase, and taken up into vesicles, indicating high efficiency in glutamate transmission. We have also found that 2,3‐pyrazinedicarboxylate inhibits this synthetic enzyme. Finding this inhibitor has important implications for defining the role of vesicle‐bound aspartate aminotransferase in glutamate transmission. | en_US |
