Betaine is an osmolyte accumulated in cells during osmotic cell shrinkage. The canine transporter mediating cellular accumulation of the osmolyte betaine and the neurotransmitter γ-aminobutyric acid (BGT-1) was expressed inXenopus oocytes and analyzed by two-electrode voltage clamp and tracer flux studies. Exposure of oocytes expressing BGT-1 to betaine or γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) depolarized the cell membrane in the current clamp mode and induced an inward current under voltage clamp conditions. At 1 mm substrate the induced currents decreased in the following order: betaine = GABA > diaminobutyric acid = β-alanine > proline = quinidine > dimethylglycine > glycine > sarcosine. Both the V max and K m of GABA- and betaine-induced currents were voltage-dependent, and GABA- and betaine-induced currents and radioactive tracer uptake were strictly Na+-dependent but only partially dependent on the presence of Cl−. The apparent affinity of GABA decreased with decreasing Na+ concentrations. TheK m of Na+ also depended on the GABA and Cl− concentration. A decrease of the Cl−concentration reduced the apparent affinity for Na+ and GABA, and a decrease of the Na+ concentration reduced the apparent affinity for Cl− and GABA. A comparison of22Na+-, 36Cl−-, and14C-labeled GABA and 14C-labeled betaine fluxes and GABA- and betaine-induced currents yielded a coupling ratio of Na+/Cl−/organic substrate of 3:1:1 or 3:2:1. Based on the data, a transport model of ordered binding is proposed in which GABA binds first, Na+ second, and Cl−third. In conclusion, BGT-1 displays significant functional differences from the other members of the GABA transporter family.
