 Na + i ‐dependent Ca 2+ uptake, Na + ‐dependent Ca 2+ release, and PtdIns‐4,5‐P2 binding to Na + /Ca 2+ exchanger (NCX1) as a function of extravesicular (intracellular) [Ca 2+ ] were measured. Alkalinization increases Ca 2+ i affinity and PtdIns‐4,5‐P2 bound to NCX1; these effects are abolished by pretreatment with PtdIns‐PLC and are insensitive to MgATP. Acidification reduces Ca 2+ i affinity. MgATP reverts it only partially despite the fact that the PtdIns‐4,5‐P2 bound to NCX1 reaches the same levels as at pH 7.8. Extravesicular Na + ‐stimulated and Ca 2+ ‐dependent Ca 2+ efflux indicate the Ca 2+ regulatory site is involved. Therefore, to display maximal affinity to Ca 2+ i , PtdIns‐4,5‐P2 binding and deprotonation of NCX1 are simultaneously need.
