Calcium (Ca2+) is a universal second messenger that participates in the regulation of innumerous physiological processes. The way in which local elevations of the cytosolic Ca2+ concentration spread in space and time is key for the versatility of the signals. Ca2+ diffusion in the cytosol is hindered by its interaction with proteins that act as buffers. Depending on the concentrations and the kinetics of the interactions, there is a large range of values at which Ca2+ diffusion can proceed. Having reliable estimates of this range, particularly of its highest end, which corresponds to the ions free diffusion, is key to understand how the signals propagate. In this work, we present the first experimental results with which the Ca2+-free diffusion coefficient is directly quantified in the cytosol of living cells. By means of fluorescence correlation spectroscopy experiments performed in Xenopus laevis oocytes and in cells of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, we show that the ions can freely diffuse in the cytosol at a higher rate than previously thought.
