Distinct gating mechanism of SOC channel involving STIM-Orai coupling and an intramolecular interaction of Orai in Caenorhabditis elegans.
May 15. 2018
Kim KM, Wijerathne T, Hur JH, Kang UJ, Kim IH, Kweon YC, Lee AR, Jeong SJ, Lee SK, Lee YY, Sim BW, Lee JH, Baig C, Kim SU, Chang KT, Lee KP, Park CY
This study identifies a previously unknown SOCE mechanism in C. elegans and suggests that, while the STIM-Orai interaction is conserved between invertebrates and mammals, the gating mechanism for Orai channels differs considerably.

Alternative splicing converts STIM2 from an activator to an inhibitor of store-operated calcium channels.
Jun 8 2015
Our results reveal a previously unrecognized functional flexibility in the STIM protein family by which alternative splicing creates negative and positive regulators of SOCE to shape the amplitude and dynamics of Ca(2+) signals.
