| Abstract | Bestrophin-1, mainly analyzed in overexpression experiments, functions as $Ca^{2+}-dependent$ $Cl^{–}$ channel. Analysis of endogenously expressed bestrophin-1 suggested an influence on intracellular $Ca^{2+}.$ The aim of the study is to analyze the influence of endogenously expressed bestrophin-1 on $Ca^{2+}$ homeostasis. Primary cultures of retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells were established from wild-type and bestrophin-1-deficient mice. Intracellular free $Ca^{2+}$ $([Ca^{2+}]_{i})$ was recorded by $Ca^{2+}$ imaging; through immunocytochemistry and differential centrifugation, subcellular localization of bestrophin-1 was analyzed. RPE cells of bestrophin-1-deficient mice showed higher levels of resting $[Ca^{2+}]_{i}$ than cells from wild-type mice. In cells from knockout mice and wild-type mice, ATP led to increases in $[Ca^{2+}]_{i}$ subsequent to phospholipase C activation. ATP-induced $Ca^{2+}$ in bestrophin-1-deficient mice rose faster and decayed slower. In cells from wild-type mice, ATP led to $[Ca^{2+}]_{i}$ increase via depletion of $Ca^{2+}$ from thapsigargin-sensitive stores. In cells from bestrophin-1-deficient mice, ATP-dependent increase in $[Ca^{2+}]_{i}$ resulted in 40% of cells from depletion of bafilomycin-sensitive and in 60% from thapsigargin-sensitive $Ca^{2+}$ stores. After differential centrifugation, bestrophin-1 was found in fractions enriched of ClC-3 Cl channel and myosin-7A. Co-localization analysis of bestrophin-1, with β-catenin or pan-cadherin, in fresh sections of porcine retina, revealed bestrophin-1 in the basolateral membrane. A portion of endogenously expressed bestrophin-1,localized in the endoplasmic reticulum, influenced uptake of $Ca^{2+}$ into $Ca^{2+}$ stores. Therefore, bestrophin-1 possibly conducts $Cl^{–}$ as counter ion for $Ca^{2+}$ uptake into cytosolic $Ca^{2+}$ stores. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
