Bax Inhibitor-1 (BI-1) is an evolutionarily conserved six-transmembrane domain endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-localized protein that protects against ER stress-induced apoptotic cell death. This function is closely connected to its ability to lower steady-state ER Ca2+ levels. Recently, we elucidated BI-1's Ca2+-channel pore in the C-terminal part of the protein and identified the critical amino acids of its pore. Based on these insights, a Ca2+-channel pore-dead mutant BI-1 (BI-1(D213R)) was developed. We determined whether BI-1 behaves as a bona fide H+/Ca2+ antiporter or as an ER Ca2+-leak channel by investigating the effect of pH on unidirectional Ca2+-efflux rates. At pH 6.8, wild-type BI-1 expression in BI-1(-/-) cells increased the ER Ca2+-leak rate, correlating with its localization in the ER compartment. In contrast, BI-1(D213R) expression in BI-1(-/-), despite its ER localization, did not increase the ER Ca2+-leak rate. However, at pH
