GLT-1 is the main glutamate transporter in the brain and undergoes trafficking processes that control its concentration on the cell surface thereby shaping glutamatergic neurotransmission. We have investigated how the traffic of GLT-1 is regulated by transporter activity. We report that internalization of GLT-1 from the cell surface is accelerated by transportable substrates like glutamate or aspartate, as well as by the transportable inhibitor L-trans-2,4-PDC, but not by the non-substrate inhibitor WAY 213613 in primary mixed cultures and in transiently transfected HEK293 cells. Analysis of the mechanism of endocytosis in HEK293 cells revealed that glutamate promoted the association with the transporter of the adaptor protein beta-arrestin and the ubiquitin ligase Nedd4-2. The addition of glutamate is accompanied by an increase in the transporter ubiquitination, and the internalization is suppressed by an ubiquitination inhibitor (PYR41), and in a mutant defective in C-terminal lysines. The glutamate triggered endocytosis was also suppressed by siRNA for beta-arrestin. This regulatory mechanism might be relevant in controlling the amount of transporter on the cell surface in conditions such as ischemia or traumatic brain injury, where extracellular concentrations of glutamate are persistently elevated.
