Ca2+ release from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) requires flux of counterions. In a recent paper published in Cell Research, Guo and colleagues, using a powerful combinatorial approach, show that CLCC1 is the long-sought mediator of Cl–efflux from the ER that counteracts Ca2+ release and that its loss causes ER stress and contributes to ALS pathology.The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is a network of intracellular membranes found in all eukaryotic cells except for mature red blood cells. The ER has many functions. It is the site of biosynthesis and folding of transmembrane and secreted proteins, it is where protein modifications such as glycosylation and cleavage occur, and it is the site of steroid hormone and phospholipid synthesis. The ER is also a regulator of intracellular Ca2+ concentration. Ca2+ is a key ion in many physiological functions from excitability, secretion, and contraction to regulation of the function of many cytosolic and membrane proteins. Thus, precise regulation of Ca2+ homeostasis has important physiological consequences, and its dysregulation can lead to disease. Ca2+ is released from the ER via ryanodine receptors (RyRs) and inositol 1, 4, 5-trisphosphate receptors (IP3Rs) and is taken up via the sarco/endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase (SERCA). The movement of Ca2+ across the ER membrane is electrogenic. For example, Ca2+ release from the ER tends to accumulate negative charges in the trans compartment, which impedes further Ca2+ release. Thus, mediators for the flux of counterions must exist to neutralize this charge accumulation.
