Abstract
STIM1 is an endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membrane Ca(2+) sensor responsible for activation of store-operated Ca(2+) influx. We discovered that STIM1 oligomerization and store-operated Ca(2+) entry (SOC) are modulated by the ER oxidoreductase ERp57. ERp57 interacts with the ER luminal domain of STIM1, with this interaction involving two conserved cysteine residues, C(49) and C(56). SOC is accelerated in the absence of ERp57 and inhibited in C(49) and C(56) mutants of STIM1. We show that ERp57, by ER luminal interaction with STIM1, has a modulatory role in capacitative Ca(2+) entry. This is the first demonstration of a protein involved in ER intraluminal regulation of STIM1.
