The Orai1-AC8 Interplay: How Breast Cancer Cells Escape from Orai1 Channel Inactivation [PDF]
The interplay between the Ca2+-sensitive adenylyl cyclase 8 (AC8) and Orai1 channels plays an important role both in the activation of the cAMP/PKA signaling and the modulation of Orai1-dependent Ca2+ signals. AC8 interacts with a N-terminal region that is exclusive to the Orai1 long variant, Orai1α. The interaction between both proteins allows the Ca2+

Septins in the Middle-Makers and Breakers of Membrane Contact Sites. [PDF]
Septins are a family of GTP‐binding proteins that assemble into heteromeric oligomers and polymers, associating with specific membrane domains and organelles according to their subunit composition. Growing evidence places septins at membrane contact sites (MCS) — key hubs for intracellular communication that mediate exchange of ions, lipids, and ...

Cell-wide mapping of Orai1 channel activity reveals functional heterogeneity in STIM1-Orai1 puncta
Upon Ca2+ store depletion, Orai1 channels cluster and open at endoplasmic reticulum–plasma membrane (ER–PM) junctions in signaling complexes called puncta. Little is known about whether and how Orai1 channel activity may vary between individual puncta. Previously, we developed and validated optical recording of Orai channel activity, using genetically ...

Exacerbated Skeletal Muscle Phenotype in Mice with ‘Homotypic’ Expression of the Tubular Aggregate Myopathy ORAI1 G100S Mutation [PDF]
Background: Tubular aggregate myopathy (TAM) is an autosomal dominant myopathy that results from gain-of-function mutations in the STIM1 and ORAI1 genes, which encode the two key proteins that coordinate store-operated Ca2+ entry in skeletal muscle and ...

Plasma biomarker ORAI1 as a dual prognostic value for survival and postoperative quality of life in glioma patients [PDF]
Gliomas represent one of the most common and highly malignant primary brain tumors, with overall prognosis remaining unsatisfactory to date. Although certain molecular biomarkers have been identified to stratify patients based on survival outcomes, non ...

S417 in the CC3 region of STIM1 is critical for STIM1-Orai1 binding and CRAC channel activation
This study shows that S417 of STIM1 plays an essential role in STIM1 C-terminus–Orai1 interaction and CRAC channel activation. It also presents new findings about 2-APB’s action on CRAC channel, which provides a tool for better understanding of SOCE ...

Calcium, Orai1, and Epidermal Proliferation [PDF]
Ca(2+) influx controls essential epidermal functions, including proliferation, differentiation, cell migration, itch, and barrier homeostasis. The Orai1 ion channel allows capacitive Ca(2+) influx after Ca(2+) release from the endoplasmic reticulum, and it has now been shown to modulate epidermal atrophy.

Orai1-mediated store-operated Ca2+ entry promotes cervical cancer progression through IL-6 signaling
Cervical cancer is a major cause of cancer-associated mortality among women in developing countries. Orai1-mediated store-operated Ca2+ entry (SOCE) is the primary mechanism underlying most of the non-excitable calcium influx into cells.

SPLUNC1 is a negative regulator of the Orai1 Ca2+ channel
Orai1 is a ubiquitously‐expressed plasma membrane Ca2+ channel that is involved in store‐operated Ca2+ entry (SOCE): a fundamental biological process that regulates gene expression, the onset of inflammation, secretion, and the contraction of airway ...
