Abstract

In the past few years, intracellular organelles, such as the endoplasmic reticulum, the nucleus and the mitochondria, have emerged as key determinants in the generation and transduction of Ca2+ signals of high spatio-temporal complexity. Little is known about the Golgi apparatus, despite the fact that Ca2+ within its lumen controls essential processes, such as protein processing and sorting. We report the direct monitoring of the [Ca2+] in the Golgi lumen ([Ca2+]Golgi) of living HeLa cells, using a specifically targeted Ca2+-sensitive photoprotein. With this probe, we show that, in resting cells, [Ca2+]Golgi is approximately 0.3 mM and that Ca2+ accumulation by the Golgi has properties distinct from those of the endoplasmic reticulum (as inferred by the sensitivity to specific inhibitors). Upon stimulation with histamine, an agonist coupled to the generation of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3), a large, rapid decrease in [Ca2+]Golgi is observed. The Golgi apparatus can thus be regarded as a bona fide IP3-sensitive intracellular Ca2+ store, a notion with major implications for the control of organelle function, as well as for the generation of local cytosolic Ca2+ signals.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
