| Abstract | Dopamine transporter (DAT) controls dopamine neurotransmission by clearing synaptically released dopamine. However, trafficking itineraries of DAT, which determine its cell-surface concentration near synapses, are poorly characterized. It is especially unknown how DAT is transported between spatially distant midbrain somatodendritic and striatal axonal compartments. To examine this "long-range" trafficking, the localization and membrane diffusion of HA-epitope tagged DAT in the medial forebrain bundle (MFB) of a knock-in mouse (both sexes) were analyzed using confocal, super-resolution and EM in intact brain and acute brain slices. HA-DAT was abundant in the plasma membrane of MFB axons, similar to the striatum, although the intracellular fraction of HA-DAT in MFB was more substantial. Intracellular HA-DAT colocalized with VPS35, a subunit of the retromer complex mediating recycling from endosomes, in a subset of axons. Late endosomes, lysosomes, and endoplasmic reticulum were abundant in the soma but minimally present in MFB axons, suggesting that biosynthesis and lysosomal degradation of DAT are confined to soma. Together, the data suggest that membrane diffusion is the main mode of long-range DAT transport through MFB, although the contribution of vesicular traffic can be significant in a population of MFB axons. Based on HA-DAT diffusion rates, plasma membrane DAT in MFB axons turns over with a halftime of ∼20 d, which explains the extremely slow turnover of DAT protein in the brain. Unexpectedly, the mean diameter of DAT-labeled MFB axons was observed to be twice larger than reported for striatum. The implications of this finding for dopamine neuron physiology are discussed. |
