STIM Proteins and the Endoplasmic Reticulum-Plasma Membrane Junctions

Open access
Carrasco, Silvia, Meyer, Tobias·2011·Annual Review of Biochemistry

Abstract

Eukaryotic organelles can interact with each other through stable junctions where the two membranes are kept in close apposition. The junction that connects the endoplasmic reticulum to the plasma membrane (ER-PM junction) is unique in providing a direct communication link between the ER and the PM. In a recently discovered signaling process, STIM (stromal-interacting molecule) proteins sense a drop in ER Ca 2+ levels and directly activate Orai PM Ca 2+ channels across the junction space. In an inverse process, a voltage-gated PM Ca 2+ channel can directly open ER ryanodine-receptor Ca 2+ channels in striated-muscle cells. Although ER-PM junctions were first described 50 years ago, their broad importance in Ca 2+ signaling, as well as in the regulation of cholesterol and phosphatidylinositol lipid transfer, has only recently been realized. Here, we discuss research from different fields to provide a broad perspective on the structures and unique roles of ER-PM junctions in controlling signaling and metabolic processes.

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.
