1A clonal cell line, L‐S1, has been identified from transfection of human genomic DNA into cultured mouse L‐M fibroblasts. Because this transfectant cell line stably expresses a high‐affinity serotonin (5‐HT) transport mechanism with kinetic and pharmacological properties comparable to those of other serotonin uptake systems, it was used to investigate the mechanistic involvement of Na+and Cl−ions in the ligand binding and kinetic uptake processes of this system.2Intact transfectant cells, when incubated at low temperature (4 °C), enabled quantitative assessment of imipramine‐displaceable 5‐[3H]HT binding to the 5‐HT transport system. This binding activity is insensitive to the presence of various ligands specific for 5‐HT receptor subtypes.3Imipramine‐displaceable 5‐[3H]HT binding to intact L‐S1 cells was shown to be a Cl−‐dependent but Na+‐independent process. Chloride ions lack binding co‐operativity in facilitating ligand binding. Changes in external Cl−concentration altered theKdbut not theBmaxof binding.4The overall transport activity was observed to be highly dependent on both external Na+and Cl−concentrations, characterized by a 5‐HT:Na+:Cl−coupling ratio of 1:1:1 per transport cycle. Alterations in the external concentrations of both Na+and Cl−ions altered only theKmand not theVmaxof transport.5Both binding and kinetic results are consistent with kinetic modelling predictions of the Cl−ion in facilitating 5‐HT binding to the transport system, and of the Na+ion in enabling translocation of bound 5‐HT across the plasma membrane. Thus, Na+and Cl−ions facilitate mechanistically distinct and discernible functions in the transport cycle.
