The inhibitory helix controls the intramolecular conformational switching of the C-terminus of STIM1.

Store-operated Ca(2+) entry (SOCE) is a critical Ca(2+) signaling pathway in many cell types. After sensing Ca(2+) store depletion in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) lumen, STIM1 (STromal Interaction Molecule 1) oligomerizes and then interacts with and activates the Orai1 calcium channel. Our previou...
