Depletion of Ca2+ from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) lumen triggers the opening of Ca2+ release-activated Ca2+ (CRAC) channels at the plasma membrane. CRAC channels are activated by stromal interaction molecule 1 (STIM1), an ER resident protein that senses Ca2+ store depletion and interacts with Orai1, the pore-forming subunit of the channel. The subunit stoichiometry of the CRAC channel is controversial. Here we provide evidence, using atomic force microscopy (AFM) imaging, that Orai1 assembles as a hexamer, and that STIM1 binds to Orai1 with sixfold symmetry. STIM1 associates with Orai1 in the form of monomers, dimers, and multimeric string-like structures that form links between the Orai1 hexamers. Our results provide new insights into the nature of the interactions between STIM1 and Orai1.Structured summary of protein interactions:Orai1 physically interacts with STIM1 by anti tag coimmunoprecipitation (View interaction)Orai1 and STIM1 bind by atomic force microscopy (View interaction)STIM1 and Orai1 colocalize by fluorescence microscopy (View interaction)STIM1 and STIM1 bind by atomic force microscopy (1, 2)Orai1 and Orai1 bind by atomic force microscopy (View interaction) (C) 2014 Federation of European Biochemical Societies.
