lüll STIM1 and the noncapacitative ARC channels Shuttleworth TJ; Thompson JL; Mignen OCell Calcium 2007[Aug]; 42 (2): 183-91Our understanding of the nature and regulation of receptor-activated Ca(2+) entry in nonexcitable cells has recently undergone a radical change that began with the identification of the stromal interacting molecule proteins (e.g., STIM1) as playing a critical role in the regulation of the capacitative, or store-operated, Ca(2+) entry. As such, current models emphasize the role of STIM1 located in the endoplasmic reticulum membrane, where it senses the status of the intracellular Ca(2+) stores via a luminal N-terminal Ca(2+)-binding EF-hand domain. Dissociation of Ca(2+) from this domain induces the clustering of STIM1 to regions of the ER that lie close to the plasma membrane, where it regulates the activity of the store-operated Ca(2+) channels (e.g., CRAC channels). Thus, the specific dependence on store-depletion, and the role of the Ca(2+)-binding EF-hand domain in this process, are critical to all current models of the action of STIM1 on Ca(2+) entry. However, until recently, the effects of STIM1 on other modes of receptor-activated Ca(2+) entry have not been examined. Surprisingly, we found that STIM1 exerts similar, although not identical, actions on the arachidonic acid-regulated Ca(2+)-selective (ARC) channels-a widely expressed mode of agonist-activated Ca(2+) entry whose activation is completely independent of Ca(2+) store depletion. Regulation of the ARC channels by STIM1 is not only independent of store depletion, but also of the Ca(2+)-binding function of the EF-hand, and translocation of STIM1 to the plasma membrane. Instead, it is the pool of STIM1 that constitutively resides in the plasma membrane that is critical for the regulation of the ARC channels. Thus, ARC channel activity is selectively inhibited by exposure of intact cells to an antibody targeting the extracellular N-terminal domain of STIM1. Similarly, introducing mutations in STIM1 that prevent the N-linked glycosylation-dependent constitutive expression of the protein in the plasma membrane specifically inhibits the activity of the ARC channels without affecting the CRAC channels. These studies demonstrate that STIM1 is a far more universal regulator of Ca(2+) entry pathways than previously assumed, and has multiple, and entirely distinct, modes of action. Precisely how this same protein can act in such separate and specific ways on these different pathways of agonist-activated Ca(2+)entry remains an intriguing, yet currently unresolved, question.|Animals[MESH]|Arachidonic Acid/*metabolism[MESH]|Calcium Channels/*metabolism[MESH]|Calcium-Binding Proteins/*physiology[MESH]|Cell Membrane/metabolism[MESH]|Drosophila Proteins/physiology[MESH]|Electric Conductivity[MESH]|Humans[MESH]|Membrane Proteins/*physiology[MESH]|Neoplasm Proteins/physiology[MESH]|Stromal Interaction Molecule 1[MESH] |
