The effect of extracellular pH (pHo) on the duration of calciumdependent chloride currents (Ict~ c.) was studied in voltage clamped AtT-20 pituitary cells. Icl~ c., was activated by Ca*+ influx through plasma membrane Ca 2+ channels, which were opened by step depolarization to voltages between-20 and+ 60 mV. Increasing pH o from 7.3 to 8.0 reversibly prolonged Icl~ c., tail currents in perforated patch recordings from cells bathed in both Na+-containing and Na+-free solutions. This prolongation was prevented in standard whole cell recordings when the pipette solution contained 0.5 mM EGTA. The effects of raised pHo were not due to alteration of intracellular pH, since tail current prolongation still occurred when intracellular pH was buffered at 7.3 with 80 mM HEPES. The prolongation of Ic, c. at pHo 8 could not be accounted for by a direct action on Ca 2+ channels, since tail currents were prolonged when pH o was changed rapidly during the tail current, after all Ca 2+ channels were closed. The effects of increasing pHo on Ic,~ c~, also could not be explained by a direct action on C1-channels, since changing to pH o 8 did not prolong Cl-tail currents when intracellular Ca 2+ concentration ([Ca2+] i) was fixed by EGTA in whole cell recordings. Raising pHo did, however, prolong depolarizationevoked [Ca2+] i transients, measured directly with the Ca 2+ indicator dye, fura-2. Taken together, these data demonstrate the presence of a Na+-independent, pHo-sensitive mechanism for reduction of [Ca2+]~ after influx through Ca 2+ channels. This mechanism is associated with the plasma membrane, and is active on a time scale that is relevant to the duration of single action potentials in these cells. We suggest that this mechanism is the plasma membrane Ca+ ATPase.
