We have measured the [Ca2+] in the endoplasmic reticulum ([Ca2+](er)) of intact HeLa cells at both 22 degrees C and 37 degrees C using endoplasmic reticulum-targeted, low Ca2+ affinity aequorin reconstituted with coelenterazine n. Aequorin consumption was much slower at 22 degrees C, and this allowed performing a much longer study of the dynamics of [Ca2+](er). The steady-state [Ca2+](er) (500-600 mu M) was not modified by the temperature, although both the rates of pumping and leak were decreased at 22 degrees C, The behavior of both [Ca2+](er) and cytoplasmic [Ca2+] ([Ca2+](c)) after the addition of increasing concentrations of agonists and/or Ca2+-ATPase inhibitors, or following incubation in Ca2+-free medium were compared. We show that agonists induce a fast but relatively small decrease in [Ca2+](er), which is enough to produce a sharp increase in [Ca2+](c). Termination of Ca2+ release is controlled by feedback inhibition of the inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptors by [Ca2+](c), a mechanism that appears to be designed to release the minimum amount of Ca2+ necessary to produced the required [Ca2+](c) signal. We also show that Ca2+ release is inhibited progressively when [Ca2+](er) decreases below a threshold of about 150 mu M, even in the absence of Ca2+ pumping or [Ca2+](c) increase. This effect is consistent with a regulation of the inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate-gated channels by [Ca2+](er).
