Reversal potential measurements of GAT1 current. (A) GAT1 transport current with all three substrates on both membrane sides was defined by pipette perfusion of NO-711 (13 μM) to the extracellular side. The pipette (extracellular) solution contained 0.4 mM GABA and 120 mM NaCl; the bath (cytoplasmic) solution contained 2 mM GABA, 60 mM Na+, and 6 mM Cl−. (B) NO-711o–defined reversal potentials are plotted against the theoretical values for various conditions listed below the graph. All reversal potentials were measured at 35°C. The dotted line represents the values predicted for perfect 2Na+:1Cl−:1GABA stoichiometry.
