Abstract excerpt
Following endoplasmic reticulum (ER) Ca(2+) depletion, STIM1 and Orai1 complexes assemble autonomously at ER-plasma membrane (PM) junctions to trigger store-operated Ca(2+) influx. One hypothesis to explain this process is a diffusion trap in which activated STIM1 diffusing in the ER becomes trapped at junctions through interactions with the PM, and STIM1 then traps Orai1 in the PM through binding of its calcium...
