The physiological function and molecular regulation of plasma membrane potential have been extensively studied, but how intracellular organelles sense and control membrane potential is not well understood. Using whole-organelle patch clamp recording, we show that endosomes and lysosomes are electrically excitable organelles. In a subpopulation of endolysosomes, a brief electrical stimulus elicits a prolonged membrane potential depolarization spike. The organelles have a previously uncharacterized, depolarization-activated, noninactivating Na+ channel (lysoNa(v)). The channel is formed by a two-repeat six-transmembrane-spanning (2x6TM) protein, TPC1, which represents the evolutionary transition between 6TM and 4x6TM voltage-gated channels. Luminal alkalization also opens lysoNav by markedly shifting the channel's voltage dependence of activation toward hyperpolarization. Thus, TPC1 is a member of a new family of voltage-gated Isle channels that senses pH changes and confers electrical excitability to organelles.
