Gene Description

SLC1A1 (EAAT3/EAAC1) is a sodium-dependent, high-affinity transmembrane transporter of acidic amino acids that mediates concentrative uptake of L-glutamate, L-aspartate and D-aspartate and also transports L-cysteine. It is a secondary active transporter belonging to the dicarboxylate/amino acid:cation symporter (DAACS; SLC1) family and assembles as a homotrimer in which each protomer works independently by an elevator-type mechanism. Each transport cycle couples uptake of one amino acid to the symport of three Na+ and one H+ and the antiport of one K+, allowing it to build transmembrane substrate gradients exceeding a millionfold; it additionally carries a thermodynamically uncoupled chloride (anion) conductance. EAAT3 operates at the plasma membrane and, in polarized epithelia, at the apical membrane. Its dominant physiological role in humans is reabsorption of glutamate and aspartate from the glomerular filtrate in the renal proximal tubule (and uptake in intestine); loss of function causes dicarboxylic aminoaciduria. In neurons it is a somatodendritic/perisynaptic transporter that buffers extracellular glutamate and, uniquely among the EAATs, provides the major Na+-dependent cysteine-uptake route that supplies cysteine, the rate-limiting precursor for glutathione synthesis, thereby supporting antioxidant defense. Surface expression is set by regulated endosomal trafficking and by interactions with partners including ARL6IP5 (GTRAP3-18), caveolin-1, Numb and PDZ-domain scaffolds.

Existing Annotations Review

GO Term Evidence Action Reason
GO:0001975 response to amphetamine
IEA
GO_REF:0000107
MARK AS OVER ANNOTATED
Summary: 'response to amphetamine' is an organismal/behavioral phenotype electronically projected from mouse Slc1a1 knockout studies.
Reason: Downstream, pleiotropic phenotype of altered neuronal glutamate/cysteine handling rather than a molecular function the transporter performs; an IEA ortholog projection of a KO phenotype. Over-annotation for a transporter.
GO:0002027 regulation of heart rate
IEA
GO_REF:0000107
MARK AS OVER ANNOTATED
Summary: 'regulation of heart rate' is an indirect/downstream role electronically projected from mouse Slc1a1 (GO_REF:0000107).
Reason: Reflects the physiological consequences of EAAT3-mediated amino-acid transport (and its loss in KO mice) rather than a step the transporter itself carries out. Pleiotropic/indirect; over-annotation for the molecular transporter.
GO:0005253 monoatomic anion channel activity
IEA
GO_REF:0000107
KEEP AS NON CORE
Summary: EAATs possess a substrate-gated uncoupled anion conductance; monoatomic anion channel activity reflects this genuine biophysical property.
Reason: Real anion-channel behaviour of the EAAT family (uncoupled Cl- flux), but modulatory/non-core relative to the concentrative amino-acid transport function.
Supporting Evidence:
file:human/SLC1A1/SLC1A1-uniprot.txt
Mediates Cl(-) flux that is not coupled to amino acid transport; this avoids the accumulation of negative charges due to aspartate and Na(+) symport
GO:0005313 L-glutamate transmembrane transporter activity
IBA
GO_REF:0000033
TOO GENERAL
Summary: SLC1A1/EAAT3 is a Na+-dependent high-affinity L-glutamate transmembrane transporter; direct uptake assays in heterologous systems establish this as a primary molecular function.
Reason: True of SLC1A1 but uninformative. The more specific high-affinity child term (GO:0005314) and the symporter term (GO:0015501) are accepted elsewhere in this review and entail this parent, so the general glutamate-transporter term adds no information beyond them. This judges the term, not the row's evidence; the electrogenic Na+-coupled L-glutamate uptake it describes (Km in the low-micromolar range) is genuine. Marked TOO_GENERAL for consistency with the sibling EAAT reviews (SLC1A2, SLC1A3), which make the identical parent/child call on this pair.

Summary: Glutathione biosynthetic process: EAAT3 supplies the rate-limiting precursor cysteine but does not catalyse any glutathione-biosynthesis step.
Reason: Participation test fails: the biosynthetic steps are carried out by glutamate-cysteine ligase and glutathione synthetase; EAAT3 only imports the substrate (cysteine).

Summary: EAAT3 carries a thermodynamically uncoupled anion (Cl-) flux in addition to the coupled amino-acid symport; this substrate-gated anion conductance is a genuine but non-core property.

GO:0015501 glutamate:sodium symporter activity
IEA
GO_REF:0000120
ACCEPT
Summary: EAAT3 couples amino acid uptake to Na+ symport (and H+ symport with K+ antiport); glutamate:sodium symporter activity captures the coupled secondary-active-transport mechanism.
Reason: Flux-coupling measurements show 3 Na+ and 1 H+ are cotransported with each glutamate and 1 K+ counter-transported. Core mechanistic MF.

KEEP AS NON CORE
Summary: In renal and intestinal epithelia EAAT3 operates at the apical membrane to reabsorb glutamate/aspartate, contributing to transepithelial handling of these amino acids.

Core Functions

High-affinity, Na+-coupled transport of L-glutamate across the plasma membrane. EAAT3 symports one glutamate with 3 Na+ and 1 H+ while counter-transporting 1 K+, driving concentrative uptake; in renal/intestinal epithelia this occurs at the apical membrane and mediates reabsorption of filtered glutamate.

Supporting Evidence:
  • PMID:7914198
    High affinity transport of glutamate across plasma membranes of brain neurons
  • PMID:8857541
    three sodium ions and one proton are cotransported with each glutamate ion into the cell, while one potassium ion is transported out of the cell
  • PMID:21123949
    SLC1A1 is the major renal transporter of glutamate and aspartate in humans
  • file:human/SLC1A1/SLC1A1-uniprot.txt
    Functions as a symporter that transports one amino acid molecule together with two or three Na(+) ions and one proton, in parallel with the counter-transport of one K(+) ion

Na+-coupled symport mechanism: EAAT3 is a glutamate:sodium symporter, coupling amino-acid uptake to the inward Na+ (and H+) electrochemical gradient with K+ counter-transport, the molecular basis of its concentrative acidic-amino-acid transport.

Supporting Evidence:
  • PMID:8857541

  • file:human/SLC1A1/SLC1A1-uniprot.txt
    Functions as a symporter that transports one amino acid molecule together with two or three Na(+) ions and one proton, in parallel with the counter-transport of one K(+) ion

Transport of L-aspartate (and D-aspartate) across the plasma membrane. Aspartate is a core physiological substrate; apical EAAT3 reabsorbs filtered aspartate in the renal proximal tubule.

Supporting Evidence:
  • file:human/SLC1A1/SLC1A1-uniprot.txt

Na+-dependent transport of L-cysteine. Uniquely among the EAATs, EAAT3 is the major neuronal route for Na+-dependent cysteine uptake, supplying the rate-limiting precursor for glutathione synthesis and supporting cellular antioxidant defense.

Supporting Evidence:
  • PMID:21123949
    Neurons use sodium-dependent cysteine uptake as the major route for cysteine uptake (80%-90% of total uptake), most of which is handled by SLC1A1

Suggested Questions for Experts

Q: What is the physiological role, if any, of the EAAT3 uncoupled chloride (anion) conductance in neuronal excitability and epithelial function, as distinct from its concentrative amino-acid transport?

Q: To what extent does EAAT3-mediated neuronal cysteine uptake (vs system xc- and other routes) determine neuronal glutathione levels and vulnerability to oxidative stress in humans?

Suggested Experiments

Experiment: Cell-type-specific conditional Slc1a1 knockout combined with glutathione and oxidative-stress readouts in neurons vs renal epithelium to dissect the cysteine/glutathione-supply role from the glutamate/aspartate reabsorption role.

Experiment: Structure-guided mutations that selectively abolish the uncoupled anion conductance while preserving coupled amino-acid transport, assayed in neurons for effects on excitability, to test whether the anion channel has an independent physiological function.
