L-Glutamate is taken up into synaptic vesicles in an ATP-dependent manner, suggesting that synaptic vesicles may be involved in glutamate synaptic transmission. The ATP-dependent vesicular uptake of glutamate was further characterized. A Mg-ATPase, not Ca-ATPase, is responsible for the ATP hydrolysis coupled to the glutamate uptake. The ATP-dependent glutamate uptake was inhibited by agents known to dissipate the electrochemical proton gradient across the membrane of chromaffin granules. Hence, the vesicular uptake of glutamate is driven by electrochemical proton gradients generated by the Mg-ATPase. The ATP-dependent glutamate uptake is markedly stimulated by chloride over a physiologically relevant, millimolar concentration range, suggesting an important role of intranerve terminal chloride in the accumulation of glutamate in synaptic vesicles. The vesicular glutamate translocator is highly specific for L-glutamate, and failed to interact with aspartate, its related agents, and most of the glutamate analogs tested. Apparently, this vesicular translocator plays a crucial role in determining the fate of glutamate as a neurotransmitter.
