The activation of store-operated Ca2+ entry by Ca2+ store depletion has long been hypothesized to occur via local interactions of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and plasma membrane, but the structure involved has never been identified. Store depletion causes the ER Ca2+ sensor stromal interacting molecule 1 (STIM1) to form puncta by accumulating in junctional ER located 1025 nm from the plasma membrane (see Wu et al. on p. 803 of this issue). We have combined total internal reflection fluorescence (TIRF) microscopy and patch-clamp recording to localize STIM1 and sites of Ca2+ influx through open Ca2+ releaseactivated Ca2+ (CRAC) channels in Jurkat T cells after store depletion. CRAC channels open only in the immediate vicinity of STIM1 puncta, restricting Ca2+ entry to discrete sites comprising a small fraction of the cell surface. Orai1, an essential component of the CRAC channel, colocalizes with STIM1 after store depletion, providing a physical basis for the local activation of Ca2+ influx. These studies reveal for the first time that STIM1 and Orai1 move in a coordinated fashion to form closely apposed clusters in the ER and plasma membranes, thereby creating the elementary unit of store-operated Ca2+ entry.
Abbreviations used in this paper: 2-APB, 2-aminoethyldiphenyl borate; Cao2+, extracellular Ca2+; [Ca2+]i, intracellular free Ca2+ concentration; CRAC, Ca2+ releaseactivated Ca2+; IRM, interference reflection microscopy; SOC, store-operated channel; SOCE, store-operated Ca2+ entry; SR, sarcoplasmic reticulum; STIM1, stromal interacting molecule 1; TG, thapsigargin; TIRF, total internal reflection fluorescence.
