Ca2+ Hot Spots on the Mitochondrial Surface Are Generated by Ca2+ Mobilization from Stores, but Not by Activation of Store-Operated Ca2+ Channels

Abstract: Although it is widely accepted that mitochondria in living cells can efficiently uptake Ca(2+) during stimulation because of their vicinity to microdomains of high [Ca(2+)], the direct proof of Ca(2+) hot spots' existence is still lacking. Thanks to a GFP-based Ca(2+) probe localized on the cytosolic surface of the outer mitochondrial membrane, we demonstrate that, upon Ca(2+) mobilization, the [Ca(2+)] in small regions of the mitochondrial surface reaches levels 5- to 10-fold higher than in the bulk cytosol. … Show more

“…Our data show also that the larger [Ca 2+ ] M increases occur in cell regions close to the nucleus. This is consistent with the data of Giacomello et al [22], which also show a larger accumulation of mitochondria-associated Ca 2+ microdomains close to the nucleus.…”

“…Further evidence for this phenomenon was later obtained in other cells [3] and it has been interpreted on the basis of the presence of local Ca 2+ microdomains generated in regions of close apposition of mitochondria and ER, or mitochondria and the plasma membrane. Direct evidence for the presence of these cytosolic [Ca 2+ ] microdomains in the vicinity of mitochondria has been recently provided [16,22]. Our data show also that the larger [Ca 2+ ] M increases occur in cell regions close to the nucleus.…”
