We have previously shown that the membrane-associated form of the GABA-synthesizing enzyme, glutamate decarboxylase 65 (GAD65), is activated by synaptic vesicle proton gradient-mediated protein phosphorylation. We now report that the rate-limiting enzyme in dopamine (DA) biosynthesis, tyrosine hydroxylase (TH), is regulated similarly to GAD65. The membrane-associated form of TH (MTH) was activated by conditions favoring protein phosphorylation (e.g. ATP) and was inhibited by phosphatase (e.g…

Electrostatic analysis of available crystal structures of γ and of the non-membrane-binding ζ-isoform indicate that the electrostatic potential distribution of phosphopeptide-bound 14-3-3γ is optimal for interaction with the membrane through amphipathic helices at the N-terminal dimerization region, and reveals membrane-targeting motifs.

It is suggested that the data are consistent with a model of ChAT protein physically, but not covalently, associated with synaptic vesicles; and there is a temperature-dependent equilibrium between vesicle-associated and cytoplasmic (i.e., soluble) ChAT.

It is implied that catecholamines turn over with a half‐time of minutes during active uptake by brain synaptic vesicles in vitro, and the physiological role of uptake‐independent efflux could be to allow the monoamine content of synaptic vESicles to be regulated over a time range of minutes and, thereby, control the amount released by exocytosis.
