PG - E5533-42 LID - 10.1073/pnas.1515606112 [doi] AB - Stromal interacting molecule (STIM) and Orai proteins constitute the core machinery of store-operated calcium entry. We used transmission and freeze-fracture electron microscopy to visualize STIM1 and Orai1 at endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-plasma membrane (PM) junctions in HEK 293 cells. Compared with control cells, thin sections of STIM1-transfected cells possessed far more ER elements, which took the form of complex stackable cisternae and labyrinthine structures adjoining the PM at junctional couplings (JCs). JC formation required STIM1 expression but not store depletion, induced here by thapsigargin (TG). Extended molecules, indicative of STIM1, decorated the cytoplasmic surface of ER, bridged a 12-nm ER-PM gap, and showed clear rearrangement into small clusters following TG treatment. Freeze-fracture replicas of the PM of Orai1-transfected cells showed extensive domains packed with characteristic "particles"; TG treatment led to aggregation of these particles into sharply delimited "puncta" positioned upon raised membrane subdomains. The size and spacing of Orai1 channels were consistent with the Orai crystal structure, and stoichiometry was unchanged by store depletion, coexpression with STIM1, or an Orai1 mutation (L273D) affecting STIM1 association. Although the arrangement of Orai1 channels in puncta was substantially unstructured, a portion of channels were spaced at approximately 15 nm. Monte Carlo analysis supported a nonrandom distribution for a portion of channels spaced at approximately 15 nm. These images offer dramatic, direct views of STIM1 aggregation and Orai1 clustering in store-depleted cells and provide evidence for the interaction of a single Orai1 channel with small clusters of STIM1 molecules.
