The Conformationally Sensitive Spatial Distance Between the TM3-4 Loop and Transmembrane Segment 7 in the Glutamate Transporter Revealed by Paired-Cysteine Mutagenesis

Excitatory amino acid transporters can maintain extracellular glutamate concentrations lower than neurotoxic levels by transferring neurotransmitters from the synaptic cleft into surrounding glial cells and neurons. Previous work regarding the structural studies of GltPh, GltTK, excitatory amino aci...
