  • Association of the IP3R to STIM1 Provides a Reduced Intraluminal
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Association of the IP3R to STIM1 provides a reduced intraluminal calcium microenvironment, Received: 15 March 2018 Accepted: 15 May 2018 resulting in enhanced store- Published: xx xx xxxx operated calcium entry Alicia Sampieri1, Karla Santoyo1, Alexander Asanov2 & Luis Vaca 1 The involvement of inositol trisphosphate receptor (IP3R) in modulating store-operated calcium entry (SOCE) was established many years ago. Nevertheless, the molecular mechanism responsible for this observation has not been elucidated to this date. In the present study we show that IP3R associates to STIM1 upon depletion of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) by activation of the inositol trisphosphate signaling cascade via G-protein coupled receptors. IP3R-STIM1 association results in enhanced STIM1 puncta formation and larger Orai-mediated whole-cell currents as well as increased calcium infux. Depleting the ER with a calcium ATPase inhibitor (thapsigargin, TG) does not induce IP3R-STIM1 association, indicating that this association requires an active IP3R. The IP3R-STIM1 association is only observed after IP3R activation, as evidenced by FRET experiments and co-immunoprecipitation assays. ER intraluminal calcium measurements using Mag-Fluo-4 showed enhanced calcium depletion when IP3R is overexpressed. A STIM1-GCaMP fusion protein indicates that STIM1 detects lower calcium concentrations near its EF-hand domain when IP3R is overexpressed when compared with the fuorescence reported by a GCaMP homogenously distributed in the ER lumen (ER-GCaMP). All these data together strongly suggest that activation of inositol trisphosphate signaling cascade induces the formation of the IP3R-STIM1 complex. The activated IP3R provides a reduced intraluminal calcium microenvironment near STIM1, resulting in enhanced activation of Orai currents and SOCE.

  • STIM1 Phosphorylation at Y361 Recruits Orai1 to STIM1 Puncta And
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN STIM1 Phosphorylation at Y361 Recruits Orai1 to STIM1 Puncta and Induces Ca2+ Entry Received: 05 December 2016 Pascal Yazbeck1, Mohammad Tauseef1,2, Kevin Kruse1, Md-Ruhul Amin1, Rayees Sheikh1, Accepted: 12 January 2017 Stefan Feske3, Yulia Komarova1 & Dolly Mehta1 Published: 20 February 2017 Store-operated Ca2+ entry (SOCE) mediates the increase in intracellular calcium (Ca2+) in endothelial cells (ECs) that regulates several EC functions including tissue-fluid homeostasis. Stromal-interaction molecule 1 (STIM1), upon sensing the depletion of (Ca2+) from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) store, organizes as puncta that trigger store-operated Ca2+ entry (SOCE) via plasmalemmal Ca2+- selective Orai1 channels. While the STIM1 and Orai1 binding interfaces have been mapped, signaling mechanisms activating STIM1 recruitment of Orai1 and STIM1-Orai1 interaction remains enigmatic. Here, we show that ER Ca2+-store depletion rapidly induces STIM1 phosphorylation at Y361 via proline- rich kinase 2 (Pyk2) in ECs. Surprisingly, the phospho-defective STIM1-Y361F mutant formed puncta but failed to recruit Orai1, thereby preventing. SOCE Furthermore, studies in mouse lungs, expression of phosphodefective STIM1-Y361F mutant in ECs prevented the increase in vascular permeability induced by the thrombin receptor, protease activated receptor 1 (PAR1). Hence, Pyk2-dependent phosphorylation of STIM1 at Y361 is a critical phospho-switch enabling recruitment of Orai1 into STIM1 puncta leading to SOCE. Therefore, Y361 in STIM1 represents a novel target for limiting SOCE- associated vascular leak. Endothelial barrier function is vital in the regulation of tissue-fluid homeostasis, angiogenesis, and inflammation1,2. Loss of endothelial barrier function following burn, trauma, or sepsis leads to acute lung injury (ALI), a life threatening condition due to respiratory failure3,4.

  • Na Influx Via Orai1 Inhibits Intracellular ATP-Induced Mtorc2 Signaling
    RESEARCH ARTICLE Na+ influx via Orai1 inhibits intracellular ATP-induced mTORC2 signaling to disrupt CD4 T cell gene expression and differentiation Yong Miao1, Jaya Bhushan1, Adish Dani1,2, Monika Vig1* 1Department of Pathology and Immunology, Washington University School of Medicine, St Louis, United States; 2Hope Center for Neurological Disorders, Washington University School of Medicine, St Louis, United States Abstract T cell effector functions require sustained calcium influx. However, the signaling and phenotypic consequences of non-specific sodium permeation via calcium channels remain unknown. a-SNAP is a crucial component of Orai1 channels, and its depletion disrupts the functional assembly of Orai1 multimers. Here we show that a-SNAP hypomorph, hydrocephalus with hopping gait, Napahyh/hyh mice harbor significant defects in CD4 T cell gene expression and Foxp3 regulatory T cell (Treg) differentiation. Mechanistically, TCR stimulation induced rapid sodium influx hyh/hyh in Napa CD4 T cells, which reduced intracellular ATP, [ATP]i. Depletion of [ATP]i inhibited mTORC2 dependent NFkB activation in Napahyh/hyh cells but ablation of Orai1 restored it. Remarkably, TCR stimulation in the presence of monensin phenocopied the defects in Napahyh/hyh signaling and Treg differentiation, but not IL-2 expression. Thus, non-specific sodium influx via bonafide calcium channels disrupts unexpected signaling nodes and may provide mechanistic insights into some divergent phenotypes associated with Orai1 function.

This entry occurs via the prototypic Ca2+ release-activated Ca2+ (CRAC) Orai1 channel. STIM1, a key molecular component of this process, is located in the membrane of the endoplasmic CRAC channel gating reticulum (ER) and is initially activated upon Ca2+ store depletion. This activation signal is transmitted to the Patch-clamp plasma membrane via a direct physical interaction that takes place between STIM1 and the highly Ca2+-selective Fluorescence microscopy ion channel Orai1. The activation of STIM1 induces an extended cytosolic conformation. This, in turn, exposes the CAD/SOAR domain and leads to the formation of STIM1 oligomers. In this study, we focused on a small helical segment (STIM1 α3, aa 400–403), which is located within the CAD/SOAR domain. We determined this segment’s specific functional role in terms of STIM1 activation and Orai1 gating.
