Visualisation and identification of the interaction between STIM1s in resting cells.
Store-operated Ca(2+) channels are a major Ca(2+) entry pathway in nonexcitable cells, which drive various essential cellular functions. Recently, STIM1 and Orai proteins have been identified as the major molecular components of the Ca(2+) release-activated Ca(2+) (CRAC) channel. As the key subunit...

Store-operated Ca(2+) channels are a major Ca(2+) entry pathway in nonexcitable cells, which drive various essential cellular functions. Recently, STIM1 and Orai proteins have been identified as the major molecular components of the Ca(2+) release-activated Ca(2+) (CRAC) channel. As the key subunit of the CRAC channel, STIM1 is the ER Ca(2+) sensor and is essential for the recruitment and activation of Orai1. However, the mechanisms in transmission of information of STIM1 to Orai1 still need further investigation. Bimolecular fluorescence complementation (BiFC) is one of the most advanced and powerful tools for studying and visualising protein-protein interactions in living cells. We utilised BiFC and acceptor photobleaching fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) experiments to visualise and determine the state of STIM1 in the living cells in resting state.
