Osmotic swelling activates a novel anionic current with VRAC-like properties in a cytoplasmic droplet membrane from Phycomyces blakesleeanus sporangiophores.We describe here whole-cell currents of droplets prepared from the apical region of growing Phycomyces blakesleeanus sporangiophores.  Whole-cell current recordings revealed the osmotically activated, outwardly rectifying, fast inactivating instantaneous current (ORIC) with biophysical properties closely resembling volume-regulated anionic current (VRAC).  This is the first report of the presence of VRAC-like current in an organism outside the chordate lineage.
