Abstract
An important calcium (Ca2+) entry pathway into the cell is the Ca2+ release-activated Ca2+ (CRAC) channel, which controls a series of downstream signaling events such as gene transcription, secretion and proliferation. It is composed of a Ca2+ sensor in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), the stromal interaction molecule (STIM), and the Ca2+ ion channel Orai in the plasma membrane (PM). Their activation is initiated by receptor-ligand binding at the PM, which triggers a signaling cascade within the cell that ultimately causes store depletion. The decrease in ER-luminal Ca2+ is sensed by STIM1, which undergoes structural rearrangements that lead to coupling with Orai1 and its activation. In this review, we highlight the current understanding of the Orai1 pore opening mechanism. In this context, we also point out the questions that remain unanswered and how these can be addressed by the currently emerging genetic code expansion (GCE) technology. GCE enables the incorporation of non-canonical amino acids with novel properties, such as light-sensitivity, and has the potential to provide novel insights into the structure/function relationship of CRAC channels at a single amino acid level in the living cell.

Abstract
The family of stromal interaction molecules (STIM) includes two widely expressed single-pass endoplasmic reticulum (ER) transmembrane proteins and additional splice variants that act as precise ER-luminal Ca2+ sensors. STIM proteins mainly function as one of the two essential components of the so-called Ca2+ release-activated Ca2+ (CRAC) channel. The second CRAC channel component is constituted by pore-forming Orai proteins in the plasma membrane. STIM and Orai physically interact with each other to enable CRAC channel opening, which is a critical prerequisite for various downstream signalling pathways such as gene transcription or proliferation. Their activation commonly requires the emptying of the intracellular ER Ca2+ store. Using their Ca2+ sensing capabilities, STIM proteins confer this Ca2+ content-dependent signal to Orai, thereby linking Ca2+ store depletion to CRAC channel opening. Here we review the conformational dynamics occurring along the entire STIM protein upon store depletion, involving the transition from the quiescent, compactly folded structure into an active, extended state, modulation by a variety of accessory components in the cell as well as the impairment of individual steps of the STIM activation cascade associated with disease.

Abstract
Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) and ampullary carcinoma (AAC) are lethal malignancies with modest benefits from surgery. SOX2 and STIM1 have been linked to anticancer activity in several human malignancies. This study included 94 tumor cases: 48 primary PDAC, 25 metastatic PDAC, and 21 primary AAC with corresponding non-tumor tissue. All cases were immunohistochemically stained for STIM1 and SOX2 and results were correlated with clinicopathologic data, patient survival, and BCL2 immunostaining results. Results revealed that STIM1 and SOX2 epithelial/stromal expressions were significantly higher in PDAC and AAC in comparison to the control groups. STIM1 and SOX2 expressions were positively correlated in the primary and metastatic PDAC (P = 0.016 and, P = 0.001, respectively). However, their expressions were not significantly associated with BCL2 expression. SOX2 epithelial/stromal expressions were positively correlated with the large tumor size in the primary AAC group (P = 0.052, P = 0.044, respectively). STIM1 stromal and SOX2 epithelial over-expressions had a bad prognostic impact on the overall survival of AAC (P = 0.002 and P = 0.001, respectively). Therefore, STIM1 and SOX2 co-expression in tumor cells and intra-tumoral stroma could contribute to the development of PDAC and AAC. STIM1/SOX2 expression is linked to a bad prognosis in AAC.

Abstract
Store-operated Ca2+ entry (SOCE) is a major mechanism for Ca2+ influx in colorectal cancer (CRC) cells. This mechanism, regulated by the filling state of the intracellular Ca2+ stores, is mediated by the endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ sensors of the stromal interaction molecules (STIM) family [stromal interaction molecule 1 (STIM1) and STIM2] and the Ca2+-release-activated Ca2+ channels constituted by Orai family members, with predominance of calcium release-activated calcium channel protein 1 (Orai1). CRC cells exhibit enhanced SOCE due to remodeling of the expression of the key SOCE molecular components. The enhanced SOCE supports a variety of cancer hallmarks. Here, we show that treatment of the colorectal adenocarcinoma cell lines HT-29 and Caco-2 with inanimate Lacticaseibacillus paracasei (CECT9610) and Lactiplantibacillus plantarum (CECT9608) attenuates SOCE, although no detectable effect is seen on SOCE in normal colon mucosa cells. The effect of Lacticaseibacillus paracasei and Lactiplantibacillus plantarum postbiotics was mediated by downregulation of Orai1 and STIM1, while the expression levels of Orai3 and STIM2 remained unaltered. Treatment of HT-29 and Caco-2 cells with inanimate Lacticaseibacillus paracasei and Lactiplantibacillus plantarum impairs in vitro migration by a mechanism likely involving attenuation of focal adhesion kinase (FAK) tyrosine phosphorylation. Cell treatment with the Orai1 inhibitor synta-66 attenuates SOCE and prevents any further effect of Lacticaseibacillus paracasei and Lactiplantibacillus plantarum postbiotics. Together, our results indicate for the first time that Lacticaseibacillus paracasei and Lactiplantibacillus plantarum postbiotics selectively exert negative effects on Ca2+ influx through SOCE in colorectal adenocarcinoma cell lines, providing evidence for an attractive strategy against CRC.

Abstract
Responding to burst stimulation of parallel fibers (PFs), cerebellar Purkinje neurons (PNs) generate a convolved synaptic response displaying a fast excitatory postsynaptic current (EPSCFast) followed by a slow EPSC (EPSCSlow). The latter is companied with a rise of intracellular Ca2+ and critical for motor coordination. The genesis of EPSCSlow in PNs results from activation of metabotropic type 1 glutamate receptor (mGluR1), oligomerization of stromal interaction molecule 1 (STIM1) on the membrane of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and opening of transient receptor potential canonical 3 (TRPC3) channels on the plasma membrane. Neuronal nitric oxide synthase (nNOS) is abundantly expressed in PFs and granule neurons (GNs), catalyzing the production of nitric oxide (NO) hence regulating PF-PN synaptic function. We recently found that nNOS/NO regulates the morphological development of PNs through mGluR1-regulated Ca2+-dependent mechanism. This study investigated the role of nNOS/NO in regulating EPSCSlow. Electrophysiological analyses showed that EPSCSlow in cerebellar slices of nNOS knockout (nNOS-/-) mice was significantly larger than that in wildtype (WT) mice. Activation of mGluR1 in cultured PNs from nNOS-/- mice evoked larger TRPC3-channel mediated currents and intracellular Ca2+ rise than that in PNs from WT mice. In addition, nNOS inhibitor and NO-donor increased and decreased, respectively, the TRPC3-current and Ca2+ rise in PNs. Moreover, the NO-donor effectively decreased TRPC3 currents in HEK293 cells expressing WT STIM1, but not cells expressing a STIM1 with cysteine mutants. These novel findings indicate that nNOS/NO inhibits TRPC3-containig channel mediated cation influx during EPSCSlow, at least in part, by S-nitrosylation of STIM1.

Abstract
Many essential biological processes are triggered by the proximity of molecules. Meanwhile, diverse approaches in synthetic biology, such as new biological parts or engineered cells, have opened up avenues to precisely control the proximity of molecules and eventually downstream signaling processes. This also applies to a main Ca2+ entry pathway into the cell, the so-called Ca2+ release-activated Ca2+ (CRAC) channel. CRAC channels are among other channels are essential in the immune response and are activated by receptor-ligand binding at the cell membrane. The latter initiates a signaling cascade within the cell, which finally triggers the coupling of the two key molecular components of the CRAC channel, namely the stromal interaction molecule, STIM, in the ER membrane and the plasma membrane Ca2+ ion channel, Orai. Ca2+ entry, established via STIM/Orai coupling, is essential for various immune cell functions, including cytokine release, proliferation, and cytotoxicity. In this review, we summarize the tools of synthetic biology that have been used so far to achieve precise control over the CRAC channel pathway and thus over downstream signaling events related to the immune response.

Abstract
Shank3, a key molecule related to the development and deterioration of autism, has recently been found to downregulate in the murine brain after ischemia/reperfusion (I/R). Despite this discovery, however, its effects on neuronal injury and the mechanism underlying the effects remain to be clarified. To address this, in this study, based on genetically modified mice models, we revealed that the expression of Shank3 showed a time-dependent change in murine hippocampal neurons after I/R, and that conditional knockout (cko) of Shank3 in neurons resulted in aggravated neuronal injuries. The protective effects of Shank3 against oxidative stress and inflammation after I/R were achieved through direct binding STIM1 and subsequent proteasome-mediated degradation of STIM1. The STIM1 downregulation induced the phosphorylation of downstream Nrf2 Ser40, which subsequently translocated to the nucleus, and further increased the expression of antioxidant genes such as NQO1 and HO-1 in HT22 cells. In vivo, the study has further confirmed that double knockout of Shank3 and Stim1 alleviated oxidative stress and inflammation after I/R in Shank3cko mice. In conclusion, the present study has demonstrated that Shank3 interacts with STIM1 and inhibits post-I/R neuronal oxidative stress and inflammatory response via the Nrf2 pathway. This interaction can potentially contribute to the development of a promising method for I/R treatment.

Abstract
Limb-Girdle Muscular Dystrophy 2A (LGMD2A) is caused by mutations in the CAPN3 gene encoding Calpain 3, a skeletal-muscle specific, Ca2+-dependent protease. Localization of Calpain 3 within the triad suggests it contributes to Ca2+ homeostasis. Through live-cell Ca2+ measurements, muscle mechanics, immunofluorescence, and electron microscopy (EM) in Capn3 deficient (C3KO) and wildtype (WT) mice, we determined if loss of Calpain 3 altered Store-Operated Calcium Entry (SOCE) activity. Direct Ca2+ influx measurements revealed loss of Capn3 elicits elevated resting SOCE and increased resting cytosolic Ca2+, supported by high incidence of calcium entry units (CEUs) observed by EM. C3KO and WT mice were subjected to a single bout of treadmill running to elicit SOCE. Within 1HR post-treadmill running, C3KO mice exhibited diminished force production in extensor digitorum longus muscles and a greater decay of Ca2+ transients in flexor digitorum brevis muscle fibers during repetitive stimulation. Striking evidence for impaired exercise-induced SOCE activation in C3KO mice included poor colocalization of key SOCE proteins, stromal-interacting molecule 1 (STIM1) and ORAI1, combined with disappearance of CEUs in C3KO muscles. These results demonstrate that Calpain 3 is a key regulator of SOCE in skeletal muscle and identify SOCE dysregulation as a contributing factor to LGMD2A pathology.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM) is the most common cardiovascular complication of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Patients affected with DCM face a notably higher risk of progressing to congestive heart failure compared to other populations. Myocardial hypertrophy, a clearly confirmed pathological change in DCM, plays an important role in the development of DCM, with abnormal Ca2+ homeostasis serving as the key signal to induce myocardial hypertrophy. Therefore, investigating the mechanism of Ca2+ transport is of great significance for the prevention and treatment of myocardial hypertrophy in T2DM. METHODS The rats included in the experiment were divided into wild type (WT) group and T2DM group. The T2DM rat model was established by feeding the rats with high-fat and high-sugar diets for three months combined with low dose of streptozotocin (100mg/kg). Afterwards, primary rat cardiomyocytes were isolated and cultured, and cardiomyocyte hypertrophy was induced through high-glucose treatment. Subsequently, mechanistic investigations were carried out through transfection with si-STIM1 and oe-STIM1. Western blot (WB) was used to detect the expression of the STIM1, Orai1 and p-CaMKII. qRT-PCR was used to detect mRNA levels of myocardial hypertrophy marker proteins. Cell surface area was detected using TRITC-Phalloidin staining, and intracellular Ca2+ concentration in cardiomyocytes was measured using Fluo-4 fluorescence staining. RESULTS Through animal experiments, an upregulation of Orai1 and STIM1 was revealed in the rat model of myocardial hypertrophy induced by T2DM. Meanwhile, through cell experiments, it was found that in high glucose (HG)-induced hypertrophic cardiomyocytes, the expression of STIM1, Orai1, and p-CaMKII was upregulated, along with increased levels of store-operated Ca2+ entry (SOCE) and abnormal Ca2+ homeostasis. However, when STIM1 was downregulated in HG-induced cardiomyocytes, SOCE levels decreased and p-CaMKII was downregulated, resulting in an improvement in myocardial hypertrophy. To further elucidate the mechanism of action involving SOCE and CaMKII in T2DM-induced myocardial hypertrophy, high-glucose cardiomyocytes were respectively treated with BTP2 (SOCE blocker) and KN-93 (CaMKII inhibitor), and the results showed that STIM1 can mediate SOCE, thereby affecting the phosphorylation level of CaMKII and improving cardiomyocyte hypertrophy. CONCLUSION STIM1/Orai1-mediated SOCE regulates p-CaMKII levels, thereby inducing myocardial hypertrophy in T2DM.

Abstract
Store-operated Ca2+ entry (SOCE) mediated by stromal interacting molecule (STIM)-gated ORAI channels at endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and plasma membrane (PM) contact sites maintains adequate levels of Ca2+ within the ER lumen during Ca2+ signaling. Disruption of ER Ca2+ homeostasis activates the unfolded protein response (UPR) to restore proteostasis. Here, we report that the UPR transducer inositol-requiring enzyme 1 (IRE1) interacts with STIM1, promotes ER-PM contact sites, and enhances SOCE. IRE1 deficiency reduces T cell activation and human myoblast differentiation. In turn, STIM1 deficiency reduces IRE1 signaling after store depletion. Using a CaMPARI2-based Ca2+ genome-wide screen, we identify CAMKG2 and slc105a as SOCE enhancers during ER stress. Our findings unveil a direct crosstalk between SOCE and UPR via IRE1, acting as key regulator of ER Ca2+ and proteostasis in T cells and muscles. Under ER stress, this IRE1-STIM1 axis boosts SOCE to preserve immune cell functions, a pathway that could be targeted for cancer immunotherapy.

Abstract
Calcium influx through plasma membrane ion channels is crucial for many events in cellular physiology. Cell surface stimuli lead to the production of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3), which binds to IP3 receptors (IP3R) in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) to release calcium pools from the ER lumen. This leads to the depletion of ER calcium pools, which has been termed store depletion. Store depletion leads to the dissociation of calcium ions from the EF-hand motif of the ER calcium sensor Stromal Interaction Molecule 1 (STIM1). This leads to a conformational change in STIM1, which helps it to interact with the plasma membrane (PM) at ER:PM junctions. At these ER:PM junctions, STIM1 binds to and activates a calcium channel known as Orai1 to form calcium release-activated calcium (CRAC) channels. Activation of Orai1 leads to calcium influx, known as store-operated calcium entry (SOCE). In addition to Orai1 and STIM1, the homologs of Orai1 and STIM1, such as Orai2/3 and STIM2, also play a crucial role in calcium homeostasis. The influx of calcium through the Orai channel activates a calcium current that has been termed the CRAC current. CRAC channels form multimers and cluster together in large macromolecular assemblies termed "puncta". How CRAC channels form puncta has been contentious since their discovery. In this review, we will outline the history of SOCE, the molecular players involved in this process, as well as the models that have been proposed to explain this critical mechanism in cellular physiology.

Abstract
In T cells, stromal interaction molecule (STIM) and Orai are dispensable for conventional T cell development, but critical for activation and differentiation. This review focuses on novel STIM-dependent mechanisms for control of Ca2+ signals during T cell activation and its impact on mitochondrial function and transcriptional activation for control of T cell differentiation and function. We highlight areas that require further work including the roles of plasma membrane Ca2+ ATPase (PMCA) and partner of STIM1 (POST) in controlling Orai function. A major knowledge gap also exists regarding the independence of T cell development from STIM and Orai, despite compelling evidence that it requires Ca2+ signals. Resolving these and other outstanding questions ensures that the field will remain active for many years to come.

Abstract
Background Spontaneous hypertension is a leading risk factor for cardiovascular diseases morbidity and mortality. Glycine betaine (GB) is a natural vitamin that has the potential to lower blood pressure. This work attempted to investigate the role and mechanisms of GB in spontaneous hypertension. Methods Spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRs) were administrated with 100, 200, or 400 mg/kg of GB by gavage or combined with by injection of lentivirus-mediated STIM1 overexpression vector. The heart rate (HR), systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP) and heart weight/body weight (HW/BW) of rats were monitored. The pathological changes in myocardium were examined by hematoxylin and eosin staining and Masson staining. The expression of genes and proteins was detected by quantitative real-time PCR, western blotting, and immunohistochemistry. Results GB at 200 and 400 mg/kg reduced the HR, SBP, DBP and HW/BW in SHRs. GB decreased the cross-sectional area and fibrotic area in the myocardium and downregulated the expression of atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) and β-myosin heavy chain (β-MHC) in the myocardium of SHRs. It indicated that GB treatment effectively alleviated myocardial hypertrophy in SHRs. Additionally, GB treatment repressed the expression of stromal interaction molecule 1 (STIM1) and calcium release-activated calcium channel protein 1 (Orai1) in the myocardium of SHRs. STIM1 overexpression reversed GB treatment-mediated inhibition of myocardial hypertrophy in SHRs. Conclusions In conclusion, GB repressed STIM1/Orai1 signaling pathway, which contributed to alleviating myocardial hypertrophy in SHRs. Thus, our study provides a theoretical basis for GB as an antihypertensive drug.

Abstract
Pneumonia is a disease caused by inflammation and has high morbidity and mortality rates. Stromal interaction molecule 1 (STIM1) is involved in the regulation of inflammatory processes. However, to the best of the authors' knowledge, the role of STIM1 in pneumonia has not yet been reported. In the present study, lipopolysaccharide (LPS) was administered to A549 cells to construct a cell damage model. The expression of STIM1 in the model cells was detected by western blotting and reverse transcription-quantitative PCR. Then, STIM1 expression was inhibited and cell survival was detected by Cell Counting Kit-8 and flow cytometry. The expression of inflammatory factors was detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS)-related proteins were detected by immunofluorescence and western blotting. Subsequently, the relationship between insulin-like growth factor 2 mRNA binding protein 2 (IGF2BP2) and STIM1 was verified by RNA-binding protein immunoprecipitation assay and actinomycin D treatment. Finally, the regulatory mechanism of IGF2BP2 and STIM1 in LPS-induced A549 cells was further investigated. The results of the present study demonstrated that STIM1 expression was increased in LPS-induced A549 cells and that STIM1 knockdown inhibited LPS-induced A549 cell apoptosis and alleviated LPS-induced A549 cell inflammation and ERS. In addition, IGF2BP2 enhanced the stability of STIM1 mRNA and knockdown of IGF2BP2-regulated STIM1 expression alleviated LPS-induced ERS and inflammatory responses in A549 cells. In conclusion, knockdown of IGF2BP2-regulated STIM1 improved cell damage in the LPS-induced pneumonia cell model by alleviating ERS and the inflammatory response.

Abstract
STIM1 has been identified as a new warm sensor, but the exact molecular mechanism remains unclear. In this study, a variety of mutants of STIM1, Orai1 and Orai3 were generated. The single-cell calcium imaging and confocal analysis were used to evaluate the thermal sensitivity of the resulting STIM mutants and the interaction between STIM1 and Orai mutants in response to temperature. Our results suggested that the CC1-SOAR of STIM1 was a direct activation domain of temperature, leading to subsequent STIM1 activation, and the transmembrane (TM) region and K domain but not EF-SAM were needed for this process. Furthermore, both the TM and SOAR domains exhibited similarities and differences between STIM1-mediated thermal sensation and store-operated calcium entry (SOCE), and the key sites of Orai1 showed similar roles in these two responses. Additionally, the TM23 (comprising TM2, loop2, and TM3) region of Orai1 was identified as the key domain determining the STIM1/Orai1 thermal response pattern, while the temperature reactive mode of STIM1/Orai3 seemed to result from a combined effect of Orai3. These findings provide important support for the specific molecular mechanism of STIM1-induced thermal response, as well as the interaction mechanism of STIM1 with Orai1 and Orai3 after being activated by temperature.

Abstract
The G protein-coupled estrogen receptor 1 (GPER1) has been proposed to mediate rapid responses to the steroid hormone estrogen. However, despite a strong interest in its potential role in cancer, whether it is indeed activated by estrogen and how this works remain controversial. To provide new tools to address these questions, we set out to determine the interactome of exogenously expressed GPER1. The combination of two orthogonal methods, namely APEX2-mediated proximity labeling and immunoprecipitation followed by mass spectrometry, gave us high-confidence results for 73 novel potential GPER1 interactors. We found that this GPER1 interactome is not affected by estrogen, a result that mirrors the constitutive activity of GPER1 in a functional assay with a Rac1 sensor. We specifically validated several hits highlighted by a gene ontology analysis. We demonstrate that CLPTM1 interacts with GPER1 and that PRKCSH and GANAB, the regulatory and catalytic subunits of α-glucosidase II, respectively, associate with CLPTM1 and potentially indirectly with GPER1. An imbalance in CLPTM1 levels induces nuclear association of GPER1, as does the overexpression of PRKCSH. Moreover, we show that the Ca2+ sensor STIM1 interacts with GPER1 and that upon STIM1 overexpression and depletion of Ca2+ stores, GPER1 becomes more nuclear. Thus, these new GPER1 interactors establish interesting connections with membrane protein maturation, trafficking, and calcium signaling.

Abstract
T-cell receptor stimulation triggers cytosolic Ca2+ signaling by inositol-1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3)-mediated Ca2+ release from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and Ca2+ entry through Ca2+ release-activated Ca2+ (CRAC) channels gated by ER-located stromal-interacting molecules (STIM1/2). Physiologically, cytosolic Ca2+ signaling manifests as regenerative Ca2+ oscillations, which are critical for nuclear factor of activated T-cells-mediated transcription. In most cells, Ca2+ oscillations are thought to originate from IP3 receptor-mediated Ca2+ release, with CRAC channels indirectly sustaining them through ER refilling. Here, experimental and computational evidence support a multiple-oscillator mechanism in Jurkat T-cells whereby both IP3 receptor and CRAC channel activities oscillate and directly fuel antigen-evoked Ca2+ oscillations, with the CRAC channel being the major contributor. KO of either STIM1 or STIM2 significantly reduces CRAC channel activity. As such, STIM1 and STIM2 synergize for optimal Ca2+ oscillations and activation of nuclear factor of activated T-cells 1 and are essential for ER refilling. The loss of both STIM proteins abrogates CRAC channel activity, drastically reduces ER Ca2+ content, severely hampers cell proliferation and enhances cell death. These results clarify the mechanism and the contribution of STIM proteins to Ca2+ oscillations in T-cells.

Abstract
Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is a renal microvascular complication caused by diabetes mellitus. One of the most typical characteristics of DN is glomerular mesangial cells (GMCs) proliferation. Stromal interaction molecule 1 (STIM1), a Ca2+ channel, is involved in many diseases. In this study, we investigated the role of STIM1 in the proliferation and fibrosis in high glucose (HG)-induced HBZY-1 cells. We found that the expression of STIM1 was increased in renal tissues of diabetic rat and HBZY-1 cells stimulated by HG. Downregulation of STIM1-mediated SOCE suppressed hyperglycemic cell proliferation and fibrosis by activating autophagy. In addition, the inhibitory effect of downregulating STIM1 on cells was blocked by autophagy inhibitor Bafilomycin A1 (BafA1). Moreover, this experiment also showed that STIM1 regulated autophagy, cell proliferation and fibrosis via PI3K/AKT/mTOR signal pathway. These results clarify the role of STIM1 in HBZY-1 cells and its mechanism, and provide a new target for the treatment of DN.

Abstract
Store-operated calcium entry (SOCE) is the main mechanism for the Ca2+ influx in non-excitable cells. The two major components of SOCE are stromal interaction molecule 1 (STIM1) in the endoplasmic reticulum and Ca2+ release-activated Ca2+ channel (CRAC) Orai on the plasma membrane. SOCE requires interaction between STIM1 and Orai. Mammals have three Orai homologs: Orai1, Orai2, and Orai3. Although Orai1 has been widely studied and proven to essential for numerous cellular processes, Orai3 has also attracted a significant attention recently. The gating and activation mechanisms of Orai3 have yet to be fully elucidated. Here, we expressed, purified, and reconstituted Orai3 protein into liposomes and investigated its orientation and oligomeric state in the resulting proteoliposomes. STIM1 interacted with the Orai3-containing proteoliposomes and mediated calcium release from the them, suggesting that the Orai3 channel was functional and that recombinant STIM1 could directly open the Orai3 channel in vitro. The developed in vitro calcium release system could be used to study the structure, function, and pharmacology of Orai3 channel.

Abstract
Store-operated calcium entry (SOCE) contributes to several physiological and pathological conditions including transcription, secretion, immunodeficiencies, and cancer. SOCE has been shown to be important for breast cancer cell migration where knockdown of SOCE components (STIM1 or Orai1) decreases cancer metastasis. Here we show unexpectedly that complete knockout of STIM1 (STIM1-KO) using gene editing in metastatic MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells results in faster migration and enhanced invasion capacity. In contrast, Orai1-KO cells, which have similar levels of SOCE inhibition as STIM1-KO, migrate slower than the parental cell line. This shows that the enhanced migration phenotype of STIM1-KO cells is not due to the loss of Ca2+ entry through SOCE, rather it involves transcriptional remodeling as elucidated by RNA-seq analyses. Interestingly, NFAT1 is significantly downregulated in STIM1-KO cells and overexpression of NFAT1 reversed the enhanced migration of STIM1-KO cells. STIM1 knockout in other breast cancer cells, independent of their metastatic potential, also enhanced cell migration while reducing NFAT1 expression. These data argue that in breast cancer cells STIM1 modulates NFAT1 expression and cell migration independently of its role in SOCE.

Abstract
The membrane contact site ER/PM junctions are hubs for signaling pathways, including Ca2+ signaling. Phosphatidylserine (PtdSer) mediates various physiological functions; however, junctional PtdSer composition and the role of PtdSer in Ca2+ signaling and Ca2+-dependent gene regulation are not understood. Here, we show that STIM1-formed junctions are required for PI(4)P/PtdSer exchange by ORP5 and ORP8, which have reciprocal lipid exchange modes and function as a rheostat that sets the junctional PtdSer/PI(4)P ratio. Targeting the ORP5 and ORP8 and their lipid transfer ORD domains to PM subdomains revealed that ORP5 sets low and ORP8 high junctional PI(4)P/PtdSer ratio that controls STIM1-STIM1 and STIM1-Orai1 interaction and the activity of the SERCA pump to determine the pattern of receptor-evoked Ca2+ oscillations, and consequently translocation of NFAT to the nucleus. Significantly, targeting the ORP5 and ORP8 ORDs to the STIM1 ER subdomain reversed their function. Notably, changing PI(4)P/PtdSer ratio by hydrolysis of PM or ER PtdSer with targeted PtdSer-specific PLA1a1 reproduced the ORPs function. The function of the ORPs is determined both by their differential lipid exchange modes and by privileged localization at the ER/PM subdomains. These findings reveal a role of PtdSer as a signaling lipid that controls the available PM PI(4)P, the unappreciated role of ER PtdSer in cell function, and the diversity of the ER/PM junctions. The effect of PtdSer on the junctional PI(4)P level should have multiple implications in cellular signaling and functions.

Abstract
The heart requires a variety of energy substrates to maintain proper contractile function. Glucose and long-chain fatty acids (FA) are the major cardiac metabolic substrates under physiological conditions. Upon stress, a shift of cardiac substrate preference toward either glucose or FA is associated with cardiac diseases. For example, in pressure-overloaded hypertrophic hearts, there is a long-lasting substrate shift toward glucose, while in hearts with diabetic cardiomyopathy, the fuel is switched toward FA. Stromal interaction molecule 1 (STIM1), a well-established calcium (Ca2+) sensor of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) Ca2+ store, is increasingly recognized as a critical player in mediating both cardiac hypertrophy and diabetic cardiomyopathy. However, the cause-effect relationship between STIM1 and glucose/FA metabolism and the possible mechanisms by which STIM1 is involved in these cardiac metabolic diseases are poorly understood. In this review, we first discussed STIM1-dependent signaling in cardiomyocytes and metabolic changes in cardiac hypertrophy and diabetic cardiomyopathy. Second, we provided examples of the involvement of STIM1 in energy metabolism to discuss the emerging role of STIM1 in the regulation of energy substrate preference in metabolic cardiac diseases and speculated the corresponding underlying molecular mechanisms of the crosstalk between STIM1 and cardiac energy substrate preference. Finally, we briefly discussed and presented future perspectives on the possibility of targeting STIM1 to rescue cardiac metabolic diseases. Taken together, STIM1 emerges as a key player in regulating cardiac energy substrate preference, and revealing the underlying molecular mechanisms by which STIM1 mediates cardiac energy metabolism could be helpful to find novel targets to prevent or treat cardiac metabolic diseases.

Abstract
The STIM family of proteins plays a crucial role in a plethora of cellular functions through the regulation of store-operated Ca2+ entry (SOCE) and, thus, intracellular calcium homeostasis. The two members of the mammalian STIM family, STIM1 and STIM2, are transmembrane proteins that act as Ca2+ sensors in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and, upon Ca2+ store discharge, interact with and activate the Orai/CRACs in the plasma membrane. Dysregulation of Ca2+ signaling leads to the pathogenesis of a variety of human diseases, including neurodegenerative disorders, cardiovascular diseases, cancer, and immune disorders. Therefore, understanding the mechanisms underlying Ca2+ signaling pathways is crucial for developing therapeutic strategies targeting these diseases. This review focuses on several rare conditions associated with STIM1 mutations that lead to either gain- or loss-of-function, characterized by myopathy, hematological and immunological disorders, among others, and due to abnormal activation of CRACs. In addition, we summarize the current evidence concerning STIM2 allele duplication and deletion associated with language, intellectual, and developmental delay, recurrent pulmonary infections, microcephaly, facial dimorphism, limb anomalies, hypogonadism, and congenital heart defects.

Abstract
A major route for the influx of calcium ions into neurons uses the STIM-Orai1 voltage-independent channel. Once cytosolic calcium ([Ca2+]i) elevates, it activates mitochondrial and endoplasmic calcium stores to affect downstream molecular pathways. In the present study, we employed a novel drug, carbonyl cyanide chlorophenylhydrazone (CCCP), a mitochondrial uncoupler, to explore the role of mitochondria in cultured neuronal morphology. CCCP caused a sustained elevation of [Ca2+]i and, quite surprisingly, a massive increase in the density of dendritic filopodia and spines in the affected neurons. This morphological change can be prevented in cultures exposed to a calcium-free medium, Orai1 antagonist 2APB, or cells transfected with a mutant Orai1 plasmid. It is suggested that CCCP activates mitochondria through the influx of calcium to cause rapid growth of dendritic processes.

Abstract
Arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy (ACM) is a genetic disorder that may lead patients to sudden cell death through the occurrence of ventricular arrhythmias. ACM is characterised by the progressive substitution of cardiomyocytes with fibrofatty scar tissue that predisposes the heart to life-threatening arrhythmic events. Cardiac mesenchymal stromal cells (C-MSCs) contribute to the ACM by differentiating into fibroblasts and adipocytes, thereby supporting aberrant remodelling of the cardiac structure. Flecainide is an Ic antiarrhythmic drug that can be administered in combination with β-adrenergic blockers to treat ACM due to its ability to target both Nav1.5 and type 2 ryanodine receptors (RyR2). However, a recent study showed that flecainide may also prevent fibro-adipogenic differentiation by inhibiting store-operated Ca2+ entry (SOCE) and thereby suppressing spontaneous Ca2+ oscillations in C-MSCs isolated from human ACM patients (ACM C-hMSCs). Herein, we briefly survey ACM pathogenesis and therapies and then recapitulate the main molecular mechanisms targeted by flecainide to mitigate arrhythmic events, including Nav1.5 and RyR2. Subsequently, we describe the role of spontaneous Ca2+ oscillations in determining MSC fate. Next, we discuss recent work showing that spontaneous Ca2+ oscillations in ACM C-hMSCs are accelerated to stimulate their fibro-adipogenic differentiation. Finally, we describe the evidence that flecainide suppresses spontaneous Ca2+ oscillations and fibro-adipogenic differentiation in ACM C-hMSCs by inhibiting constitutive SOCE.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Bone metastasis is a principal cause of mortality in patients with prostate cancer (PCa). Increasing evidence indicates that high expression of stromal interaction molecule 1 (STIM1)-mediated store-operated calcium entry (SOCE) significantly activates the calcium (Ca2+) signaling pathway and is involved in multiple steps of bone metastasis in PCa. However, the regulatory mechanism and target therapy of STIM1 is poorly defined. METHODS Liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry analysis was performed to identify tetraspanin 18 (TSPAN18) as a binding protein of STIM1. Co-IP assay was carried out to explore the mechanism by which TSPAN18 inhibits STIM1 degradation. The biological function of TSPAN18 in bone metastasis of PCa was further investigated in vitro and in vivo models. RESULT We identified that STIM1 directly interacted with TSPAN18, and TSPAN18 competitively inhibited E3 ligase tripartite motif containing 32 (TRIM32)-mediated STIM1 ubiquitination and degradation, leading to increasing STIM1 protein stability. Furthermore, TSPAN18 significantly stimulated Ca2+ influx in an STIM1-dependent manner, and then markedly accelerated PCa cells migration and invasion in vitro and bone metastasis in vivo. Clinically, overexpression of TSPAN18 was positively associated with STIM1 protein expression, bone metastasis and poor prognosis in PCa. CONCLUSION Taken together, this work discovers a novel STIM1 regulative mechanism that TSPAN18 protects STIM1 from TRIM32-mediated ubiquitination, and enhances bone metastasis of PCa by activating the STIM1-Ca2+ signaling axis, suggesting that TSPAN18 may be an attractive therapeutic target for blocking bone metastasis in PCa.

Abstract
Genetic code expansion technology has been widely applied to control protein activity and biological systems by taking advantage of an amber stop codon suppressor tRNA and orthogonal aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase pair. With this chemical biology approach, Maltan et al. incorporated photocrosslinking unnatural amino acids (UAAs) into the transmembrane domains of ORAI1 to enable UV light-inducible calcium influx across the plasma membrane, mechanistic interrogation of the calcium release-activated calcium (CRAC) channel at the single amino acid level, and remote control of downstream calcium-modulated signaling in mammalian cells.

Abstract
Vascular calcification is accelerated in patients with diabetes mellitus and increases risk of cardiovascular events and mortality. Vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC) play a key role in regulating vascular tone and contribute significantly to the development of diabetic vasculopathy. In this study, the function of stromal interaction molecule 1 (STIM1), an important regulator for intracellular calcium homeostasis, in diabetic vascular calcification was investigated, and the underlying molecular mechanisms were uncovered. A SMC-specific STIM1 deletion mouse model (STIM1Δ/Δ) was generated by breeding the STIM1 floxed mice (STIM1f/f) with SM22α-Cre transgenic mice. Using aortic arteries from the STIM1Δ/Δ mice and their STIM1f/f littermates, we found that SMC-specific STIM1 deletion induced calcification of aortic arteries cultured in osteogenic media ex vivo. Furthermore, STIM1 deficiency promoted osteogenic differentiation and calcification of VSMC from the STIM1Δ/Δ mice. In the low-dose streptozotocin (STZ)-induced mouse model of diabetes, SMC-specific STIM1 deletion markedly enhanced STZ-induced vascular calcification and stiffness in the STIM1Δ/Δ mice. The diabetic mice with SMC-specific STIM1 ablation also exhibited increased aortic expression of the key osteogenic transcription factor, Runx2, and protein O-GlcNAcylation, an important post-translational modulation that we have reported to promote vascular calcification and stiffness in diabetes. Consistently, elevation of O-GlcNAcylation was demonstrated in aortic arteries and VSMC from the STIM1Δ/Δ mice. Inhibition of O-GlcNAcylation with a pharmacological inhibitor abolished STIM1 deficiency-induced VSMC calcification, supporting a critical role of O-GlcNAcylation in mediating STIM1 deficiency-induced VSMC calcification. Mechanistically, we identified that STIM1 deficiency resulted in impaired calcium homeostasis, which activated calcium signaling and increased endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress in VSMC, while inhibition of ER stress attenuated STIM1-induced elevation of protein O-GlcNAcylation. In conclusion, the study has demonstrated a causative role of SMC-expressed STIM1 in regulating vascular calcification and stiffness in diabetes. We have further identified a novel mechanisms underlying STIM1 deficiency-induced impairment of calcium homeostasis and ER stress in upregulation of protein O-GlcNAcylation in VSMC, which promotes VSMC osteogenic differentiation and calcification in diabetes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND STIM- and Orai-mediated store operated calcium entry (SOCE) is a ubiquitous Ca2+ signaling process, crucial for the proper function of immune, muscle and neuronal systems. To treat SOCE-related disorder or diseases of these systems, and to mechanistically dissect activation and function of SOCE, specific SOCE inhibitors are needed. However, strategies for developing new SOCE modifiers are still limited. <P/> Methodology: In this study, we identified a novel SOCE inhibitor named 2PHDO from a small pool of Chinese herbal extracts used for treating psoriasis. It could block SOCE and SOCE-mediated NFAT translocation in multiple types of cells with a half inhibitory concentration around 1 µM. At this concentration, 2PHDO was specific for SOCE. Mechanistically, 2PHDO didn't affect the activation of STIM1 or its physical coupling with Orai1. Rather, 2PHDO inhibited SOCE via its actions on Orai1. <P/> Results: 2PHDO may serve as a good template for developing new medicines aiming to treat SOCE related diseases. <P/> Conclusion: Overall, we proved the feasibility of screening and identification of novel SOCE inhibitors from active monomers of Chinese herbal medicine.

Abstract
STIM1 (stromal interaction molecule 1) is one of the key components of the store operated Ca2+ entry channel (SOCE), which is located on the endoplasmic reticulum membrane and highly expressed in most kinds of tumors. STIM1 promotes tumorigenesis and metastasis by modulating the formation of invadopodia, promoting angiogenesis, mediating inflammatory response, altering the cytoskeleton and cell dynamics. However, the roles and mechanism of STIM1 in different tumors have not been fully elucidated. In this review, we summarize the latest progress and mechanisms of STIM1 in tumorigenesis and metastasis, thereby providing insights and references for the study on STIM1 in the field of cancer biology in the future.

Abstract
Stimulator of interferon (IFN) genes (STING) was recently pinpointed as an antiviral innate immune factor during the infection of RNA viruses. Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV), the swine arterivirus, is an enveloped RNA virus which has evolved many strategies to evade innate immunity. To date, the interactive network between PRRSV and STING remains to be fully established. Herein, we report that STING suppresses PRRSV replication through type I interferon signaling. However, PRRSV impedes STING trafficking from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) to the Golgi apparatus, leading to the decreased phosphorylation of TANK-binding kinase 1 (TBK1) and interferon regulatory factor 3 (IRF3). Furthermore, PRRSV nonstructural protein 2 (Nsp2) colocalizes with STING, blocks STING translocation, and disrupts the STING-TBK1-IRF3 complex. Mechanistically, PRRSV Nsp2 retains STING at the ER by increasing the level of Ca2+ sensor stromal interaction molecule 1 (STIM1) protein. Functional analysis reveals that PRRSV Nsp2 deubiquitinates STIM1 by virtue of its papain-like protease 2 (PLP2) deubiquitinating (DUB) activity. Finally, we demonstrate that loss of STIM1 is associated with an elevated IFN response and restricts PRRSV replication. This work delineates the relationship between PRRSV infection and STING signaling and the importance of papain-like proteases (PLPs) in interfering in this axis. IMPORTANCE Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV), a member of the family Arteriviridae, is responsible for reproductive disorders in pregnant sows and respiratory problems in piglets, resulting in huge losses in the swine industry worldwide. Of note, PRRSV infection causes immunosuppression, of which the mechanism is not completely understood. Here, we demonstrate for the first time that STING, a protein typically associated with the antiviral response in DNA viruses, plays a critical role in controlling PRRSV infection. However, PRRSV utilizes its encoded protein Nsp2 to inhibit STING activity by blocking its translocation from the ER to the Golgi apparatus. In particular, Nsp2 retains STING at the ER by interacting with and further deubiquitinating STIM1. For this process, the activity of the viral PLP2 DUB enzyme is indispensable. The study describes a novel mechanism by which PLP2 plays a critical role in suppressing the innate immune response against arteriviruses and potentially other viruses that encode similar proteases.

Abstract
STIM1 and Orai1 are the central core of the Store Operated Calcium Entry (SOCE). This calcium influx mechanism is triggered after the activation of Gq protein-coupled receptors at the plasma membrane (PM) that activate phospholipase C. The phospholipase C produces Inositol triphosphate (IP3) which rapidly diffuses throughout the cytosol, resulting in the binding and activation of IP3 receptors (IP3R) and the rapid efflux of calcium from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) to the cytosol. The calcium depletion in the ER is sensed by the stromal interaction molecule 1 (STIM1) a single-pass transmembrane protein at the ER that binds intraluminal calcium through an EF-hand domain in its amino terminal region (Fig. 1A). The cytosolic portion of STIM1 contains multiple domains. The region that interacts and activates Orai channels is known as SOAR (the STIM1 Orai activating region) [1]. For SOAR be accessible to Orai1, STIM1 must get an extended conformation that unlocks SOAR from its coiled-coil 1 (CC1) region [2]. The extended conformation is triggered by calcium depletion at the ER that oligomerizes STIM1. The oligomers of STIM1 then translocate to a close distance between two opposing membranes, forming what is known as ER-PM junctions. STIM1 accumulates at ER-PM junctions conforming the denominated STIM1 puncta.

Abstract
In platelets, elevated cytosolic Ca2+ is a crucial second messenger, involved in most functional responses, including shape change, secretion, aggregation and procoagulant activity. The platelet Ca2+ response consists of Ca2+ mobilization from endoplasmic reticulum stores, complemented with store-operated or receptor-operated Ca2+ entry pathways. Several channels can contribute to the Ca2+ entry, but their relative contribution is unclear upon stimulation of ITAM-linked receptors such as glycoprotein VI (GPVI) and G-protein coupled receptors such as the protease-activated receptors (PAR) for thrombin. We employed a 96-well plate high-throughput assay with Fura-2-loaded human platelets to perform parallel [Ca2+]i measurements in the presence of EGTA or CaCl2. Per agonist condition, this resulted in sets of EGTA, CaCl2 and Ca2+ entry ratio curves, defined by six parameters, reflecting different Ca2+ ion fluxes. We report that threshold stimulation of GPVI or PAR, with a variable contribution of secondary mediators, induces a maximal Ca2+ entry ratio of 3-7. Strikingly, in combination with Ca2+-ATPase inhibition by thapsigargin, the maximal Ca2+ entry ratio increased to 400 (GPVI) or 40 (PAR), pointing to a strong receptor-dependent enhancement of store-operated Ca2+ entry. By pharmacological blockage of specific Ca2+ channels in platelets, we found that, regardless of GPVI or PAR stimulation, the Ca2+ entry ratio was strongest affected by inhibition of ORAI1 (2-APB, Synta66) > Na+/Ca2+ exchange (NCE) > P2×1 (only initial). In contrast, inhibition of TRPC6, Piezo1/2 or STIM1 was without effect. Together, these data reveal ORAI1 and NCE as dominating Ca2+ carriers regulating GPVI- and PAR-induced Ca2+ entry in human platelets.

Abstract
Cardiac stromal interaction molecule 1 (STIM1), a key mediator of store-operated Ca2+ entry (SOCE), is a known determinant of cardiomyocyte pathological growth in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. We examined the role of STIM1 and SOCE in response to exercise-dependent physiological hypertrophy. Wild-type (WT) mice subjected to exercise training (WT-Ex) showed significant increase in exercise capacity and heart weight compared to sedentary (WT-Sed) mice. Moreover, myocytes from WT-Ex hearts displayed an increase in length, but not width, compared to WT-Sed myocytes. Conversely, exercised cardiac specific STIM1 knock-out mice (cSTIM1KO-Ex), although displaying significant increase in heart weight and cardiac dilation, evidenced no changes in myocyte size and displayed a decreased exercise capacity, impaired cardiac function, and premature death compared to sedentary cardiac specific STIM1 knock-out mice (cSTIM1KO-Sed). Confocal Ca2+ imaging demonstrated enhanced SOCE in WT-Ex myocytes compared to WT-Sed myocytes with no measurable SOCE detected in cSTIM1KO myocytes. Exercise training induced a significant increase in cardiac phospho-Akt Ser473 in WT mice but not cSTIM1KO mice. No differences were observed in phosphorylation of mTOR and GSK in exercised vs sedentary cSTIM1KO mice hearts. cSTIM1KO-Sed mice showed increased basal MAPK phosphorylation compared to WT-Sed that was not altered by exercise training. Finally, histological analysis revealed exercise resulted in increased autophagy in cSTIM1KO but not WT myocytes. Taken together, our results suggest that adaptive cardiac hypertrophy in response to exercise training involves STIM1-mediated SOCE. Our results demonstrate that STIM1 is involved in and essential for the myocyte longitudinal growth and mTOR activation in response to endurance training.

Abstract
Distorted neuronal calcium signaling has been reported in many neurodegenerative disorders, including different types of spinocerebellar ataxias (SCAs). Cerebellar Purkinje cells (PCs) are primarily affected in SCAs and the disturbances in the calcium homeostasis were observed in SCA PCs. Our previous results have revealed that 3,5-dihydroxyphenylglycine (DHPG) induced greater calcium responses in SCA2-58Q PC cultures than in wild type (WT) PC cultures. Here we observed that glutamate-induced calcium release in PCs cells bodies is significantly higher in SCA2-58Q PCs from acute cerebellar slices compared to WT PCs of the same age. Recent studies have demonstrated that the stromal interaction molecule 1 (STIM1) plays an important role in the regulation of the neuronal calcium signaling in cerebellar PCs in mice. The main function of STIM1 is to regulate store-operated calcium entry through the TRPC/Orai channels formation to refill the calcium stores in the ER when it is empty. Here we demonstrated that the chronic viral-mediated expression of the small interfering RNA (siRNA) targeting STIM1 specifically in cerebellar PCs alleviates the deranged calcium signaling in SCA2-58Q PCs, rescues the spine loss in these cerebellar neurons, and also improves the motor decline in SCA2-58Q mice. Thus, our preliminary results support the important role of the altered neuronal calcium signaling in SCA2 pathology and also suggest the STIM1-mediated signaling pathway as a potential therapeutic target for treatment of SCA2 patients.

Abstract
The pathophysiological process of neuronal injury due to cerebral ischemia is complex among which disturbance of calcium homeostasis and autophagy are two major pathogenesis. However, it remains ambiguous whether the two factors are independent. Stromal interaction molecule 1 (STIM1) is the most important Ca2+ sensor mediating the store-operated Ca2+ entry (SOCE) through interacting with Orai1 and has recently been proven to participate in autophagy in multiple cells. In this study, we aimed to investigate the potential role of STIM1-induced SOCE on autophagy and whether its regulator function contributes to neuronal injury under hypoxic conditions using in vivo transient middle cerebral artery occlusion (tMCAO) model and in vitro oxygen and glucose deprivation (OGD) primary cultured neuron model respectively. The present data indicated that STIM1 induces autophagic flux impairment in neurons through promoting SOCE and inhibiting AKT/mTOR signaling pathway. Pharmacological inhibition of SOCE or downregulation of STIM1 with siRNA suppressed the autophagic activity in neurons. Moreover, stim1 knockdown attenuated neurological deficits and brain damage after tMCAO, which could be reversed by AKT/mTOR pathway inhibitor AZD5363. Together, the modulation of STIM1 on autophagic activation indicated the potential link between Ca2+ homeostasis and autophagy which provided evidence that STIM1 could be a promising therapeutic target for ischemic stroke.

Abstract
Depletion of Ca2+ from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) causes the ER Ca2+ sensor STIM1 to form membrane contact sites (MCSs) with the plasma membrane (PM). At the ER-PM MCS, STIM1 binds to Orai channels to induce cellular Ca2+ entry. The prevailing view of this sequential process is that STIM1 interacts with the PM and with Orai1 using two separate modules: a C-terminal polybasic domain (PBD) for the interaction with PM phosphoinositides and the STIM-Orai activation region (SOAR) for the interaction with Orai channels. Here, using electron and fluorescence microscopy and protein-lipid interaction assays, we show that oligomerization of the SOAR promotes direct interaction with PM phosphoinositides to trap STIM1 at ER-PM MCSs. The interaction depends on a cluster of conserved lysine residues within the SOAR and is co-regulated by the STIM1 coil-coiled 1 and inactivation domains. Collectively, our findings uncover a molecular mechanism for formation and regulation of ER-PM MCSs by STIM1.

Abstract
Objective This study aimed to investigate the role of the stromal interaction molecule 1 (STIM1) gene in the survival of the acute myeloblastic leukemia (AML)-M5 cell line (THP-1). Materials and Methods The STIM1 effect was assessed via dicersubstrate siRNA-mediated STIM1 knockdown. The effect of STIM1 knockdown on the expression of AKT and MAPK pathway-related genes and reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation-related genes was tested using real-time polymerase chain reaction. Cellular functions, including ROS generation, cell proliferation, and colony formation, were also evaluated following STIM1 knockdown. Results The findings revealed that STIM1 knockdown reduced intracellular ROS levels via downregulation of NOX2 and PKC. These findings were associated with the downregulation of AKT, KRAS, MAPK, and CMYC. BCL2 was also downregulated, while BAX was upregulated following STIM1 knockdown. Furthermore, STIM1 knockdown reduced THP-1 cell proliferation and colony formation. Conclusion This study has demonstrated the role of STIM1 in promoting AML cell proliferation and survival through enhanced ROS generation and regulation of AKT/MAPK-related pathways. These findings may help establish STIM1 as a potential therapeutic target for AML treatment.

Abstract
Stromal interaction molecule 1 (STIM1) resides in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membrane and senses luminal calcium (Ca2+ ) concentration. STIM1 activation involves a large-scale conformational transition that exposes a STIM1 domain termed "CAD/SOAR", - which is required for activation of the calcium channel Orai. Under resting cell conditions, STIM1 assumes a quiescent state where CAD/SOAR is suspended in an intramolecular clamp formed by the coiled-coil 1 domain (CC1) and CAD/SOAR. Here, we present a structural model of the cytosolic part of the STIM1 resting state using molecular docking simulations that take into account previously reported interaction sites between the CC1α1 and CAD/SOAR domains. We corroborate and refine previously reported interdomain coiled-coil contacts. Based on our model, we provide a detailed analysis of the CC1-CAD/SOAR binding interface using molecular dynamics simulations. We find a very similar binding interface for a proposed domain-swapped configuration of STIM1, where the CAD/SOAR domain of one monomer interacts with the CC1α1 domain of another monomer of STIM1. The rich structural and dynamical information obtained from our simulations reveals novel interaction sites such as M244, I409, or E370, which are crucial for STIM1 quiescent state stability. We tested our predictions by electrophysiological and Förster resonance energy transfer experiments on corresponding single-point mutants. These experiments provide compelling support for the structural model of the STIM1 quiescent state reported here. Based on transitions observed in enhanced-sampling simulations paired with an analysis of the quiescent STIM1 conformational dynamics, our work offers a first atomistic model for CC1α1-CAD/SOAR detachment.

Abstract
Chlamydia trachomatis is an obligate intracellular bacterium, which undergoes a biphasic developmental cycle inside a vacuole termed the inclusion. Chlamydia-specific effector proteins embedded into the inclusion membrane, the Inc proteins, facilitate inclusion interaction with cellular organelles. A subset of Inc proteins engages with specific host factors at the endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-inclusion membrane contact site (MCS), which is a discrete point of contact between the inclusion membrane and the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Here, we report that the C. trachomatis Inc protein CTL0402/IncSCt is a novel component of the ER-inclusion MCS that specifically interacts with and recruits STIM1, a previously identified host component of the ER-inclusion MCS with an unassigned interacting partner at the inclusion membrane. In comparison, the Chlamydia muridarum IncS homologue (TC0424/IncSCm) does not interact with or recruit STIM1 to the inclusion, indicating species specificity. To further investigate IncS function and overcome the recently reported early developmental defect of the incS mutant, we achieved temporal complementation by expressing IncS exclusively during the early stages of the developmental cycle. Additionally, we used allelic exchange to replace the incSCt open reading frame with incSCm in the C. trachomatis chromosome. Inclusions harboring either of these strains progressed through the developmental cycle but were STIM1 negative and displayed increased inclusion lysis 48 h postinfection. Expression of incSCt in trans complemented these phenotypes. Altogether, our results indicate that IncS is necessary and sufficient to recruit STIM1 to C. trachomatis inclusion and that IncS plays an early developmental role conserved in C. trachomatis and C. muridarum and a late role in inclusion stability specific to C. trachomatis. IMPORTANCE Obligate intracellular pathogens strictly rely on the host for replication. Specialized pathogen-encoded effector proteins play a central role in sophisticated mechanisms of host cell manipulation. In Chlamydia, a subset of these effector proteins, the inclusion membrane proteins, are embedded in the membrane of the vacuole in which the bacteria replicate. Chlamydia encodes 50 to 100 putative Inc proteins. Many are conserved among species, including the human and mouse pathogens Chlamydia trachomatis and Chlamydia muridarum, respectively. However, whether the function(s) of Inc proteins is indeed conserved among species is poorly understood. Here, we characterized the function of the Inc protein IncS conserved in C. trachomatis and C. muridarum. Our work reveals that a single effector protein can play multiple functions at various stages of the developmental cycle. However, these functions are not necessarily conserved across species, suggesting a complex evolutionary path among Chlamydia species.

Abstract
Ca2+ release-activated Ca2+ (CRAC) channels are activated by direct physical interactions between Orai1, the channel protein, and STIM1, the endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ sensor. A hallmark of CRAC channels is fast Ca2+-dependent inactivation (CDI) which provides negative feedback to limit Ca2+ entry through CRAC channels. Although STIM1 is thought to be essential for CDI, its molecular mechanism remains largely unknown. Here, we examined a poorly understood gain-of-function (GOF) human Orai1 disease mutation, L138F, that causes tubular aggregate myopathy. Through pairwise mutational analysis, we determine that large amino acid substitutions at either L138 or the neighboring T92 locus located on the pore helix evoke highly Ca2+-selective currents in the absence of STIM1. We find that the GOF phenotype of the L138 pathogenic mutation arises due to steric clash between L138 and T92. Surprisingly, strongly activating L138 and T92 mutations showed CDI in the absence of STIM1, contradicting prevailing views that STIM1 is required for CDI. CDI of constitutively open T92W and L138F mutants showed enhanced intracellular Ca2+ sensitivity, which was normalized by re-adding STIM1 to the cells. Truncation of the Orai1 C-terminus reduced T92W CDI, indicating a key role for the Orai1 C-terminus for CDI. Overall, these results identify the molecular basis of a disease phenotype with broad implications for activation and inactivation of Orai1 channels.

Abstract
Introduction: Psoriasis is an inflammatory autoimmune skin disease that is hard to cure and prone to relapse. Currently available global immunosuppressive agents for psoriasis may cause severe side effects, thus it is crucial to identify new therapeutic reagents and druggable signaling pathways for psoriasis. Methods: To check the effects of SOCE inhibitors on psoriasis, we used animal models, biochemical approaches, together with various imaging techniques, including calcium, confocal and FRET imaging. Results and discussion: Store operated calcium (Ca2+) entry (SOCE), mediated by STIM1 and Orai1, is crucial for the function of keratinocytes and immune cells, the two major players in psoriasis. Here we showed that a natural compound celastrol is a novel SOCE inhibitor, and it ameliorated the skin lesion and reduced PASI scores in imiquimod-induced psoriasis-like mice. Celastrol dose- and time-dependently inhibited SOCE in HEK cells and HaCaT cells, a keratinocyte cell line. Mechanistically, celastrol inhibited SOCE via its actions both on STIM1 and Orai1. It inhibited Ca2+ entry through constitutively-active Orai1 mutants independent of STIM1. Rather than blocking the conformational switch and oligomerization of STIM1 during SOCE activation, celastrol diminished the transition from oligomerized STIM1 into aggregates, thus locking STIM1 in a partially active state. As a result, it abolished the functional coupling between STIM1 and Orai1, diminishing SOCE signals. Overall, our findings identified a new SOCE inhibitor celastrol that suppresses psoriasis, suggesting that SOCE pathway may serve as a new druggable target for treating psoriasis.

Abstract
Although the physiological role of the full-length Amyloid Precursor Protein (APP) and its proteolytic fragments remains unclear, they are definitively crucial for normal synaptic function. Herein, we report that the downregulation of APP in SH-SY5Y cells, using short hairpin RNA (shRNA), alters the expression pattern of several ion channels and signaling proteins that are involved in synaptic and Ca2+ signaling. Specifically, the levels of GluR2 and GluR4 subunits of the alpha-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid glutamate receptors (AMPAR) were significantly increased with APP knockdown. Similarly, the expression of the majority of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) residing proteins, such as the ER Ca2+ channels IP3R (Inositol 1,4,5-triphosphate Receptor) and RyR (Ryanodine Receptor), the Ca2+ pump SERCA2 (Sarco/endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ ATPase 2) and the ER Ca2+ sensor STIM1 (Stromal Interaction Molecule 1) was upregulated. A shift towards the upregulation of p-AKT, p-PP2A, and p-CaMKIV and the downregulation of p-GSK, p-ERK1/2, p-CaMKII, and p-CREB was observed, interconnecting Ca2+ signal transduction from the plasma membrane and ER to the nucleus. Interestingly, we detected reduced responses to several physiological stimuli, with the most prominent being the ineffectiveness of SH-SY5Y/APP- cells to mobilize Ca2+ from the ER upon carbachol-induced Ca2+ release through IP3Rs and RyRs. Our data further support an emerging yet perplexing role of APP within a functional molecular network of membrane and cytoplasmic proteins implicated in Ca2+ signaling.

Abstract
Distant metastasis remains the primary cause of treatment failure and suggests a poor prognosis in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is a critical cellular process for initiating a tumor invasion and remote metastasis. Our previous study showed that the blockage of the stromal interaction molecule 1 (STIM1)-mediated Ca2+ signaling blunts the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-promoted cell migration and inhibits the dissemination and lymphatic metastasis of NPC cells. However, the upstream signaling pathway that regulates the STIM1 expression remains unknown. In this follow-up study, we demonstrated that the miRNA-185-5p/STIM1 axis is implicated in the regulation of the metastatic potential of 5-8F cells, a highly invasive NPC cell line. We demonstrate that the knockdown of STIM1 attenuates the migration ability of 5-8F cells by inhibiting the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) phosphorylation-induced switch from E- to N-cadherin in vitro. In addition, the STIM1 knockdown inhibited the locoregional lymphatic invasion of the 5-8F cells in mice. Furthermore, we identified miRNA-185-5p as an upstream regulator that negatively regulates the expression of STIM1. Our findings suggest that the miRNA-185-5p/STIM1 axis regulates the invasiveness of NPC cell lines by affecting the EGFR activation-modulated cell adhesiveness. The miRNA-185-5p/STIM1 axis may serve as a potentially effective therapeutic target for the treatment of NPC.

Abstract
With nearly all cancer deaths a result of metastasis, elucidating novel pro-metastatic cellular adaptations could provide new therapeutic targets. Here, we show that overexpression of the EPS15-Homology Domain-containing 2 (EHD2) protein in a large subset of breast cancers (BCs), especially the triple-negative (TNBC) and HER2+ subtypes, correlates with shorter patient survival. The mRNAs for EHD2 and Caveolin-1/2, structural components of caveolae, show co-overexpression across breast tumors, predicting shorter survival in basal-like BC. EHD2 shRNA knockdown and CRISPR-Cas9 knockout with mouse Ehd2 rescue, in TNBC cell line models demonstrate a major positive role of EHD2 in promoting tumorigenesis and metastasis. Mechanistically, we link these roles of EHD2 to store-operated calcium entry (SOCE), with EHD2-dependent stabilization of plasma membrane caveolae ensuring high cell surface expression of the SOCE-linked calcium channel Orai1. The novel EHD2-SOCE oncogenic axis represents a potential therapeutic target in EHD2- and CAV1/2-overexpressing BC.

Hydrophobic interactions within the C terminus pole helices tunnel regulate calcium-dependent inactivation of TRPC3 in a calmodulin-dependent manner. Cell Calcium 2023; 109:102684.

Abstract
Recent structural studies have shown that the carboxyl-terminus of many TRP channels, including TRPC3, are folded into a horizontal rib helix that is connected to the vertical pole helix, which play roles in inter-structural interactions and multimerization. In a previous work we identified I807 located in the pole helix with a role in regulation of TRPC3 by STIM1 (Lee et al., 2014, Liu et al., 2022). To further determine the role of the pole helix in TRPC3 function, here we identified key hydrophobic residues in the pole helix that form tight tunnel-like structure and used mutations to probe their role in TRPC3 regulation by Ca2+ and Calmodulin. Our findings suggest that the hydrophobic starch formed by the I807-L818 residues has several roles, it modulates gating of TRPC3 by Ca2+, affects channel selectivity and the channel Ca2+ permeability. Mutations of I807, I811, L814 and L818 all attenuated the Ca2+-dependent inactivation (CDI) of TRPC3, with I807 having the most prominent effect. The extent of modulation of the CDI depended on the degree of hydrophobicity of I807. Moreover, the TRPC3(I807S) mutant showed altered channel monovalent ion selectivity and increased Ca2+ permeability, without affecting the channel permeability to Mg2+ and Ba2+ and without changing the pore diameter. The CDI of TRPC3 was reduced by an inactive calmodulin mutant and by a pharmacological inhibitor of calmodulin, which was eliminated by the I807S mutation. Notably, deletion of STIM1 caused similar alteration of TRPC3 properties. Taken together, these findings reveal a role of the pole helix in CDI, in addition to its potential role in channel multimerization that required gating of TRPC3 by STIM1. Since all TRPC and most TRP channels have pole helix structures, our findings raise the possibility that the pole helix may have similar roles in all the TRP family.
