Calcium-dependent inactivation of high voltage-activated Ca 2+ channels plays a crucial role in limiting rises in intracellular calcium (Ca 2+  i ). A key mediator of these effects is calmodulin, which has been found to bind the C-terminus of the pore-forming α subunit. In contrast, little is known about how Ca 2+  i can regulate low voltage-activated T-type Ca 2+ channels. Using whole cell patch clamp, we examined the biophysical properties of Ca 2+ current through the three T-type Ca 2+ channel isoforms, Ca v 3.1, Ca v 3.2, or Ca v 3.3, comparing internal solutions containing 27 nM and l μM free Ca 2+ Both activation and inactivation kinetics of Ca v 3.3 current in l μM Ca 2+  i solution were more rapid than those in 27 nM Ca 2+  i solution. In addition, both activation and steady-state inactivation curves of Ca v 3.3 were negatively shifted in the higher Ca 2+  i solution. In contrast, the biophysical properties of Ca v 3.1 and Ca v 3.2 isoforms were not significantly different between the two internal solutions. Overexpression of CaM 1234 (a calmodulin mutant that doesn't bind Ca 2+ ) occluded the effects of l μM Ca 2+  i on Ca v 3.3, implying that CaM is involved in the Ca 2+  i regulation effects on Ca v 3.3. Yeast two-hybrid screening and co-immunoprecipitation experiments revealed a direct interaction of CaM with the carboxyl terminus of Ca v 3.3. Taken together, our results suggest that Ca v 3.3 T-type channel is potently regulated by Ca 2+  i via interaction of Ca 2+ /CaM with the carboxyl terminus of Ca v 3.3.
