In most nonexcitable cells, calcium (Ca2+) release from inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (InsP3)-sensitive intracellular Ca2+ stores is coupled to Ca2+ influx (calcium release-activated channels (ICRAC)) pathway. Despite intense investigation, the molecular identity of ICRAC and the mechanism of its activation remain poorly understood. InsP3-dependent miniature calcium channels (Imin) display functional properties characteristic for ICRAC. Here we used patch clamp recordings of Imin channels in human carcinoma A431 cells to demonstrate that Imin activity was greatly enchanced in the presence of anti-phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate antibody (PIP2Ab) and diminished in the presence of PIP2. Anti-PIP2 antibody induced a greater than 6-fold increase in Imin sensitivity for InsP3 activation and an almost 4-fold change in Imin maximal open probability. The addition of exogenous PIP2 vesicles to the cytosolic surface of inside-out patches inhibited Imin activity. These results lead us to propose an existence of a Ca2+ influx pathway in nonexcitable cells activated via direct conformational coupling with a selected population of InsP3 receptors, located just underneath the plasma membrane and coupled to PIP2. The described pathway provides for a highly compartmentalized Ca2+ influx and intracellular Ca2+ store refilling mechanism.
