Fig. 1. Epileptic variants decrease the expression and function of GLT-1.

Fig. 1

A Topological location of Gly-82, Leu-85, and Pro-289 residues in human EAAT2. B Comparison of the amino acid sequences of epileptic variants (G82R, L85P, and P289R) between Gltph and EAATs. Regions of high homology of GltPh and EAATs are highlighted in blue. C D-[3H]-Asp uptake activity after transfection with different plasmids (SK, WT, G82R, L85P, P289R, G82R/L85P, G82R/P289R, L85P/P289R, and G82R/L85P/P289R) were determined. n = 6 per group. The representative blots and quantification of total proteins (D, E), biotinylated membrane proteins (F, G), and non-biotinylated proteins (H, I) of GLT-1 were measured by Western blot. n = 3 per group. Results are expressed as mean ± SD. **P < 0.01 vs. WT. Statistical significance was determined using one-way ANOVA and Tukey’s test for post hoc comparisons.
