Abstract

Calcium in the endoplasmic reticulum STIM1 is the messenger that signals endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ store depletion and subsequently activates the store-operated channel ORAI. However, its precise mechanism of action is unclear. Here, Luik et al. show that STIM oligomerzation, not the concentration of Ca2+ in the endoplasmic reticulum, is the key event that triggers ORAI activation.
