Abstract
The control of calcium influx at the plasma membrane by endoplasmic reticulum (ER) calcium stores, a process common to invertebrates and vertebrates, is central to physiological calcium signalling and cellular calcium balance. Stromal interaction molecule 1 (STIM1) is a calcium sensor and regulatory protein localized to the ER. ORAI1 is a calcium channel in the plasma membrane (PM). In outline, STIM1 senses an ER-luminal calcium decrease, relocalizes to ER-PM junctions, and recruits and gates ORAI1 channels. Recent work, reviewed here, has offered detailed insight into the process of sensing and communicating ER calcium-store depletion, and particularly into the STIM1 conformational change that is the basis for communication between the ER and the PM.Entities:
