RT info:eu-repo/semantics/article T1 The coupling of plasma membrane calcium entry to calcium uptake by endoplasmic reticulum and mitochondria A1 García-Sancho Martín, Francisco Javier K1 Calcio - Absorción AB Cross-talk between organelles and plasma membrane Ca2+ channels is essential formodulation of the cytosolic Ca2+ ([Ca2+]C) signals, but such modulation may differ amongcells. In chromaffin cells Ca2+ entry through voltage-operated channels induces calcium releasefrom the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) that amplifies the signal. [Ca2+]C microdomains as highas 20–50 μM are sensed by subplasmalemmal mitochondria, which accumulate large amounts ofCa2+ through the mitochondrial Ca2+ uniporter (MCU). Mitochondria confine the high-Ca2+microdomains (HCMDs) to beneath the plasma membrane,where exocytosis of secretory vesicleshappens. Cell core [Ca2+]C is much smaller (1–2 μM). By acting as a Ca2+ sink, mitochondriastabilise theHCMDin space and time. In non-excitableHEK293 cells, activation of store-operatedCa2+ entry, triggered by ERCa2+ emptying, also generated subplasmalemmal HCMDs, but, in thiscase, most of the Ca2+ was taken up by the ER rather than bymitochondria. The smaller size of the[Ca2+]C peak in this case (about 2 μM)may contribute to this outcome, as the sarco-endoplasmicreticulum Ca2+ ATPase has much higher Ca2+ affinity than MCU. It is also possible that the relative positioning of organelles, channels and effectors, as well as cytoskeleton and accessoryproteins plays an important role.
