Many solute carrier 6 (SLC6) family transporters require ancillary subunits to modify their expression and activity. The main apical membrane neutral amino acid transporters in mouse intestine and kidney, B(0)AT1 and B(0)AT3, require the ancillary protein collectrin or ACE2 for plasma membrane expression. Expression and activity of SLC6 neurotransmitter transporters are modulated by interaction with syntaxin 1A. Utilizing monocarboxylate-B(0)AT1/3 fusion constructs, we discovered that collectrin is also necessary for B(0)AT1 and B(0)AT3 catalytic function. Syntaxin 1A and syntaxin 3 inhibit the membrane expression of B(0)AT1 by competing with collectrin for access. A mutagenesis screening approach identified residues on trans-membrane domains 1α, 5, and 7 on one face of B(0)AT3 as a key region involved in interaction with collectrin. Mutant analysis established residues that were involved in collectrin-dependent functions as follows: plasma membrane expression of B(0)AT3, catalytic activation, or both. These results identify a potential binding site for collectrin and other SLC6 ancillary proteins.
