Molecular biophysics of Orai store-operated Ca2+ channels.
Upon endoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+) store depletion, Orai channels in the plasma membrane are activated directly by endoplasmic reticulum-resident STIM proteins to generate the Ca(2+)-selective, Ca(2+) release-activated Ca(2+) (CRAC) current. After the molecular identification of Orai, a plethora of functional and biochemical studies sought to compare Orai homologs, determine their stoichiometry,...
متن کاملEmerging perspectives in store-operated Ca2+ entry: roles of Orai, Stim and TRP.
Depletion of intracellular Ca2+ stores induces Ca2+ influx across the plasma membrane through store-operated channels (SOCs). This store-operated Ca2+ influx is important for the replenishment of the Ca2+ stores, and is also involved in many signaling processes by virtue of the ability of intracellular Ca2+ to act as a second messenger. For many years, the molecular identities of particular SOC...
متن کاملTRPC4 forms store-operated Ca2+ channels in mouse mesangial cells.
Studies were performed to identify the molecular component responsible for store-operated Ca(2+) entry in murine mesangial cells (MMC). Because the canonical transient receptor potential (TRPC) family of proteins was previously shown to comprise Ca(2+)-selective and -nonselective cation channels in a variety of cells, we screened TRPC1-TRPC7 with the use of molecular methods and the fura 2 meth...
متن کاملVascular smooth muscle store-operated Ca2+ channels: what a TRP!
CALCIUM ENTRY TRIGGERED BY loss of Ca from endoplasmic reticulum Ca stores in vascular smooth muscle cells was first described by Casteels and Droogmans (6) 25 years ago. Subsequent studies have demonstrated that this is a ubiquitous process occurring in all eukaryotes from yeast to humans (see recent reviews for details: Refs. 4, 21, 31). However, the molecular identity of the ion channels tha...
متن کاملSphingomyelinase D inhibits store-operated Ca2+ entry in T lymphocytes by suppressing ORAI current
Infections caused by certain bacteria including Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis provoke inflammatory responses characterized by the formation of granulomas with necrotic foci-so-called caseous necrosis. The granulomas of infected animals show prominent infiltration by T lymphocytes, and T cell depletion increases host mortality. Notorious zoonotic C. pseudotube...
