Popis: The uncoupling proteins UCP2 and UCP3 have been postulated to catalyze Ca(2+) entry across the inner membrane of mitochondria, but this proposal is disputed, and other, unrelated proteins have since been identified as the mitochondrial Ca(2+) uniporter. To clarify the role of UCPs in mitochondrial Ca(2+) handling, we down-regulated the expression of the only uncoupling protein of HeLa cells, UCP3, and measured Ca(2+) and ATP levels in the cytosol and in organelles with genetically encoded probes. UCP3 silencing did not alter mitochondrial Ca(2+) uptake in permeabilized cells. In intact cells, however, UCP3 depletion increased mitochondrial ATP production and strongly reduced the cytosolic and mitochondrial Ca(2+) elevations evoked by histamine. The reduced Ca(2+) elevations were due to inhibition of store-operated Ca(2+) entry and reduced depletion of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) Ca(2+) stores. UCP3 depletion accelerated the ER Ca(2+) refilling kinetics, indicating that the activity of sarco/endoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+) (SERCA) pumps was increased. Accordingly, SERCA inhibitors reversed the effects of UCP3 depletion on cytosolic, ER, and mitochondrial Ca(2+) responses. Our results indicate that UCP3 is not a mitochondrial Ca(2+) uniporter and that it instead negatively modulates the activity of SERCA by limiting mitochondrial ATP production. The effects of UCP3 on mitochondrial Ca(2+) thus reflect metabolic alterations that impact on cellular Ca(2+) homeostasis. The sensitivity of SERCA to mitochondrial ATP production suggests that mitochondria control the local ATP availability at ER Ca(2+) uptake and release sites.
