STIM1 has a plasma membrane role in the activation of store-operated Ca 2+ channels

Abstract

Receptor-induced Ca 2+ signals are key to the function of all cells and involve release of Ca 2+ from endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stores, triggering Ca 2+ entry through plasma membrane (PM) “store-operated channels” (SOCs). The identity of SOCs and their coupling to store depletion remain molecular and mechanistic mysteries. The single transmembrane-spanning Ca 2+ -binding protein, STIM1, is necessary in this coupling process and is proposed to function as an ER Ca 2+ sensor to provide the trigger for SOC activation. Here we reveal that, in addition to being an ER Ca 2+ sensor, STIM1 functions within the PM to control operation of the Ca 2+ entry channel itself. Increased expression levels of STIM1 correlate with a gain in function of Ca 2+ release-activated Ca 2+ (CRAC) channel activity. Point mutation of the N-terminal EF hand transforms the CRAC channel current ( I CRAC ) into a constitutively active, Ca 2+ store-independent mode. Mutants in the EF hand and cytoplasmic C terminus of STIM1 alter operational parameters of CRAC channels, including pharmacological profile and inactivation properties. Last, Ab externally applied to the STIM1 N-terminal EF hand blocks both I CRAC in hematopoietic cells and SOC-mediated Ca 2+ entry in HEK293 cells, revealing that STIM1 has an important functional presence within the PM. The results reveal that, in addition to being an ER Ca 2+ sensor, STIM1 functions within the PM to exert control over the operation of SOCs. As a cell surface signaling protein, STIM1 represents a key pharmacological target to control fundamental Ca 2+ -regulated processes including secretion, contraction, metabolism, cell division, and apoptosis.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
