Mechanically sensitive hair cells of the auditory and vestibular
systems use Ca2+ to control adaptation of mechanical
transduction, to effect frequency tuning, to trigger neurotransmitter
release, and to mediate efferent synaptic signaling. To determine the
role that pumps play in regulation of Ca2+ in the
hair bundle, the organelle responsible for mechanoelectrical transduction, we localized and quantified the plasma membrane Ca2+-ATPase (PMCA) of the bundle. We found that each
hair bundle contains ~106 PMCA molecules or
~2000 per square micrometer of bundle membrane and that PMCA is the
principal calmodulin binding protein of the bundle. Consistent with
biochemical estimates of PMCA density, we measured with extracellular
Ca2+-selective electrodes a substantial
Ca2+ efflux from bundles. The number of bundle
Ca2+ pumps and magnitude of resting
Ca2+ efflux suggested that PMCA should generate a
substantial membrane current as bundles expel Ca2+.
Measurement of whole-cell currents revealed a transduction-dependent outward current that was consistent with the activity of PMCA. Finally,
dialysis of hair cells with PMCA inhibitors led to a large increase in
the concentration of Ca2+ in bundles, which suggests
that PMCA plays a major role in regulating bundle
Ca2+ concentration. Our data further indicate that
PMCA could elevate the extracellular Ca2+
concentration close to hair bundles above the low level found in bulk
endolymph.
