The hereditary hemochromatosis protein HFE is known to complex with the transferrin receptor; however, its function regarding endocytosis of transferrin is unclear. We performed patch-clamp capacitance measurements in transfected HeLa cells carrying wild-type or C282Y-mutant HFE cDNA under the control of a tetracycline-sensitive promoter. Whole cell experiments in cells with suppressed expression of wild-type HFE revealed a decrease in membrane capacitance, reflecting predominance of endocytosis in the presence of transferrin. Cells overexpressing C282Y-mutant HFE displayed less intense capacitance decreases, whereas no significant decrease was observed in cells overexpressing wild-type HFE. The formation of single endocytic vesicles in cells with suppressed expression of wild-type HFE was greatly increased in the presence of transferrin as revealed by cell-attached recordings. According to their calculated diameters, many of these vesicles corresponded to clathrin-coated vesicles. These results suggest that wild-type HFE negatively modulates the endocytic uptake of transferrin. This inhibitory effect is attenuated in cells expressing C282Y-mutant HFE. Time-resolved measurements of cell membrane capacitance provide a powerful tool to study transferrin-induced endocytosis in single cells.

Exocytosis can be quantified by measuring changes in membrane capacitance in single internally perfused cells. Exocytosis is controlled by guanine nucleotide-binding proteins (G proteins) acting as key signal transducers. Different G proteins mediate receptor signaling and secretory granule-membrane fusion.

In this article, a new data treatment based on time-resolved photoluminescence is presented. It works as a streak camera for infrared. A time-resolved photoluminescence spectrum for the HgCd0.33Te0.67 sample at 120 K was performed and analyzed. Typical time-resolved photoluminescence measurements, to compare our results with literature, were conducted. An interpretation of the behavior for three different time constants found in the signal is proposed.
