In membrane preparations, CFT, a phenyltropane cocaine analog, and dopamine (DA) interact with the recombinant human dopamine transporter (hDAT) in Na+ -free medium. Na+ markedly increased the transporter's affinity for CFT, but had little or no effect on DA potency for inhibiting CFT binding. Raising [Na+ ] from 20 to 155 mm reduced Li+ -induced increase in DA K (i) , but not CFT K (d) . The presence of 155 mm Na+ enhanced the tolerance to low pH of CFT K (d) but not DA K (i) . Leucine substitution for tryptophan 84 (W84L) in transmembrane domain (TM) 1 or asparagine substitution for aspartate 313 (D313N) in TM 6 did not or only modestly enhance the affinity of Na+ -independent CFT binding, and retained the near normal ability of DA, Li+ , K+ , or H+ to inhibit this binding. However, the mutations significantly enhanced the Na+ stimulation of CFT binding as well as the Na+ antagonism against Li+ and H+ inhibition of CFT binding. In contrast, the mutations neither changed the Na+ -insensitive feature of DA K (i) nor enhanced the Na+ protection of DA K-i against Li+ 's inhibitory effect, though they caused Na+ protection of DA K (i) against H+ 's inhibitory action. These results are consistent with the existence of binding conformations for DA that are distinguishable from those for CFT, and with a differential association of cation interactions with DA and CFT binding. The mutations likely alter Na+ -bound state(s) of hDAT, preferentially strengthening the positive allosteric coupling between Na+ and CFT binding, and reducing the impact of Li+ or H+ on the CFT binding.
