Abstract
Calcium (Ca2+) is a secondary messenger that regulates various cellular processes. However, Ca2+ mishandling could lead to pathological conditions. Orai1 is a Ca2+channel contributing to the store-operated calcium entry (SOCE) and plays a critical role in Ca2+ homeostasis in several cell types. Dysregulation of Orai1 contributed to severe combined immune deficiency syndrome, some cancers, pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), and other cardiorespiratory diseases. During its activation process, Orai1 is mainly regulated by stromal interacting molecule (STIM) proteins, especially STIM1; however, many other regulatory partners have also been recently described. Increasing knowledge about these regulatory partners provides a better view of the downstream signalling pathways of SOCE and offers an excellent opportunity to decipher Orai1 dysregulation in these diseases. These proteins participate in other cellular functions, making them attractive therapeutic targets. This review mainly focuses on Orai1 regulatory partners in the physiological and pathological conditions of the pulmonary circulation and inflammation.

Inhibition of adenylyl cyclase 8 prevents the upregulation of Orai1 channel, which improves cardiac function after myocardial infarction. Mol Ther 2024; 32:646-662.

Abstract
The upregulation of Orai1 and subsequent store-operated Ca2+ entry (SOCE) has been associated with adverse cardiac remodeling and heart failure (HF). However, the mechanism underlying Orai1 upregulation and its role in myocardial infarction remains unclear. Our study investigated the role of Orai1 in activating adenylyl cyclase 8 (AC8) and cyclic AMP (cAMP) response element-binding protein (CREB), as well as its contribution to cardiac dysfunction induced by ischemia and reperfusion (I/R). We found that I/R evoked an increase in the expression of Orai1 and AC8 in rats' hearts, resulting in a substantial rise in diastolic Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i), and reduced ventricular contractions. The expression of Orai1 and AC8 was also increased in ventricular biopsies of post-ischemic HF patients. Mechanistically, we demonstrate that I/R activation of Orai1 stimulated AC8, which produced cAMP and phosphorylated CREB. Subsequently, p-CREB activated the ORAI1 promoter, resulting in Orai1 upregulation and SOCE exacerbation. Intramyocardial administration of AAV9 carrying AC8 short hairpin RNA decreased the expression of AC8, Orai1 and CREB, which restored diastolic [Ca2+]i and improved cardiac contraction. Therefore, our data suggests that the axis composed by Orai1/AC8/CREB plays a critical role in I/R-induced cardiac dysfunction, representing a potential new therapeutic target to limit the progression of the disease toward HF.

Abstract
In non-excitable cells, Orai proteins represent the main channel for Store-Operated Calcium Entry (SOCE), and also mediate various store-independent Calcium Entry (SICE) pathways. Deregulation of these pathways contribute to increased tumor cell proliferation, migration, metastasis, and angiogenesis. Among Orais, Orai1 is an attractive therapeutic target explaining the development of specific modulators. Therapeutic trials using Orai1 channel inhibitors have been evaluated for treating diverse diseases such as psoriasis and acute pancreatitis, and emerging data suggest that Orai1 channel modulators may be beneficial for cancer treatment. This review discusses herein the importance of Orai1 channel modulators as potential therapeutic tools and the added value of these modulators for treating cancer.

Abstract
Orai1 is the pore-forming subunit of the Ca2+-release activated Ca2+ channels that mediate store-operated Ca2+ entry (SOCE) in excitable and non-excitable cells. Two Orai1 forms have been identified in mammalian cells, the full-length variant Orai1α, and the short form Orai1β, lacking the N-terminal 63 amino acids. Stem cells were isolated from non-tumoral breast epithelial cells of the MCF10A cell line, and the most representative ER+ , HER2 or triple negative breast cancer cell lines MCF7, SKBR3 and MDA-MB-231, respectively. Orai and TRPC family members expression was detected by RT-PCR and Western blotting. Changes in cytosolic Ca2+ concentration were analyzed by confocal microscopy using Fluo 4 and the spheroid-forming ability and self-renewal was estimated in culture plates coated with pHEMA using a cell imaging system. Here, we have characterized the expression of Orai family members and several TRPC channels at the transcript level in breast stem cells (BSC) derived from the non-tumoral breast epithelial cell line MCF10A and breast cancer stem cells (BCSC) derived from the well-known estrogen receptor positive (ER+), HER2 and triple negative cell lines MCF7, SKBR3 and MDA-MB-231, respectively. Furthermore, we have evaluated the mammosphere formation efficiency and self-renewal of the BSC and BCSC. Next, through a combination of Orai1 knockdown by iRNA and the use of MDA-MB-231 KO cells, missing the native Orai1, transfected with plasmids encoding for either Orai1α or Orai1β, we show that Orai1 is essential for mammosphere formation and self-renewal efficiency in BCSC derived from triple negative and HER2 subtypes cell cultures, while this channel has a negligible effect in BCSC derived from ER+ cells as well as in non-tumoral BSC. Both, Orai1α, and Orai1β support SOCE in MDA-MB-231-derived BCSC with similar efficiency, as well as COX activation and mammosphere formation. These findings provide evidence of the functional role of Orai1α and Orai1β in spheroid forming efficiency and self-renewal in breast cancer stem cells.

Abstract
Store operated Ca2+ entry (SOCE) is a cornerstone for the maintenance of intracellular Ca2+ homeostasis and the regulation of a variety of cellular functions. SOCE is mediated by STIM and Orai proteins following the activation of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptors. Then, a reduction of the endoplasmic reticulum intraluminal Ca2+ concentration is sensed by STIM proteins, which undergo a conformational change and activate plasma membrane Ca2+ channels comprised by Orai proteins. STIM1/Orai-mediated Ca2+ signals are finely regulated and modulate the activity of different transcription factors, including certain isoforms of the nuclear factor of activated T-cells, the cAMP-response element binding protein, the nuclear factor κ-light chain-enhancer of activated B cells, c-fos, and c-myc. These transcription factors associate SOCE with a plethora of signaling events and cellular functions. Here we provide an overview of the current knowledge about the role of Orai channels in the regulation of transcription factors through Ca2+ -dependent signaling pathways.

Abstract
Triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) has the poorest prognosis compared to other breast cancer subtypes, due to a historical lack of targeted therapies and high rates of relapse. Greater insight into the components of signalling pathways in TNBC tumour cells has led to the clinical evaluation, and in some cases approval, of targeted therapies. In the last decade, G protein-coupled receptors, such as the β2-adrenoceptor, have emerged as potential new therapeutic targets. Here, we describe how the β2-adrenoceptor accelerates TNBC progression in response to stress, and the unique signalling pathway activated by the β2-adrenoceptor to drive the invasion of an aggressive TNBC tumour cell. We highlight evidence that supports an altered organisation of GPCRs in tumour cells, and suggests that activation of the same GPCR in a different cellular location can control unique cell responses. Finally, we speculate how the relocation of GPCRs to the "wrong" place in tumour cells presents opportunities to develop targeted anti-cancer GPCR drugs with greater efficacy and minimal adverse effects.

Abstract
Calcium is one of the most prominent second messengers. It is involved in a wide range of functions at the single-cell level but also in modulating regulatory mechanisms in the entire organism. One process mediating calcium signaling involves hydrolysis of phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PtdIns(4,5)P2) by the phospholipase-C (PLC). Thus, calcium and PtdIns(4,5)P2 are intimately intertwined two second-messenger cascades that often depend on each other. Another relevant lipid associated with calcium signaling is cholesterol. Both PtdIns(4,5)P2 and cholesterol play key roles in the formation and maintenance of specialized signaling nanodomains known as lipid rafts. Lipid rafts are particularly important in calcium signaling by concentrating and localizing calcium channels such as the Orai1 channel. Depletion of internal calcium stores is initiated by the production of inositol-1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3). Calcium depletion from the ER induces the oligomerization of STIM1, which binds Orai1 and initiates calcium influx into the cell. In the present review, we analyzed the complex interactions between cholesterol, PtdIns(4,5)P2, and the complex formed by the Orai1 channel and the signaling molecule STIM1. We explore some of the complex mechanisms governing calcium homeostasis and phospholipid metabolism, as well as the interaction between these two apparently independent signaling cascades.

Abstract
Cancer represents a major health burden worldwide. Several molecular targets have been discovered alongside treatments with positive clinical outcomes. However, the reoccurrence of cancer due to therapy resistance remains the primary cause of mortality. Endeavors in pinpointing new markers as molecular targets in cancer therapy are highly desired. The significance of the co-regulation of Ca2+-permeating and Ca2+-regulated ion channels in cancer cell development, proliferation, and migration make them promising molecular targets in cancer therapy. In particular, the co-regulation of the Orai1 and SK3 channels has been well-studied in breast and colon cancer cells, where it finally leads to an invasion-metastasis cascade. Nevertheless, many questions remain unanswered, such as which key molecular components determine and regulate their interplay. To provide a solid foundation for a better understanding of this ion channel co-regulation in cancer, we first shed light on the physiological role of Ca2+ and how this ion is linked to carcinogenesis. Then, we highlight the structure/function relationship of Orai1 and SK3, both individually and in concert, their role in the development of different types of cancer, and aspects that are not yet known in this context.

Abstract
Orai1, the first identified member of the Orai protein family, is ubiquitously expressed in the animal kingdom. Orai1 was initially characterized as the channel responsible for the store-operated calcium entry (SOCE), a major mechanism that allows cytosolic calcium concentration increments upon receptor-mediated IP3 generation, which results in intracellular Ca2+ store depletion. Furthermore, current evidence supports that abnormal Orai1 expression or function underlies several disorders. Orai1 is, together with STIM1, the key element of SOCE, conducting the Ca2+ release-activated Ca2+ (CRAC) current and, in association with TRPC1, the store-operated Ca2+ (SOC) current. Additionally, Orai1 is involved in non-capacitative pathways, as the arachidonate-regulated or LTC4-regulated Ca2+ channel (ARC/LRC), store-independent Ca2+ influx activated by the secretory pathway Ca2+-ATPase (SPCA2) and the small conductance Ca2+-activated K+ channel 3 (SK3). Furthermore, Orai1 possesses two variants, Orai1α and Orai1β, the latter lacking 63 amino acids in the N-terminus as compared to the full-length Orai1α form, which confers distinct features to each variant. Here, we review the current knowledge about the differences between Orai1α and Orai1β, the implications of the Ca2+ signals triggered by each variant, and their downstream modulatory effect within the cell.

Abstract
The ubiquitous secondary messengers, Ca2+ and cAMP, play a vital role in shaping a diverse array of physiological processes. More significantly, accumulating evidence over the past several decades underpin extensive crosstalk between these two canonical messengers in discrete sub-cellular nanodomains across various cell types. Within such specialized nanodomains, each messenger fine-tunes signaling to maintain homeostasis by manipulating the activities of cellular machinery accountable for the metabolism or activity of the complementary pathway. Interaction between these messengers is ensured by scaffolding proteins which tether components of the signaling machinery in close proximity. Disruption of dynamic communications between Ca2+ and cAMP at these loci consequently is linked to several pathological conditions. This review summarizes recent novel mechanisms underlying effective crosstalk between Ca2+ and cAMP in such nanodomains.

Abstract
Atrial arrhythmias, such as atrial fibrillation (AF), are a major mortality risk and a leading cause of stroke. The IP3 signalling pathway has been proposed as an atrial-specific target for AF therapy, and atrial IP3 signalling has been linked to the activation of calcium sensitive adenylyl cyclases AC1 and AC8. We investigated the involvement of AC1 in the response of intact mouse atrial tissue and isolated guinea pig atrial and sino-atrial node (SAN) cells to the α-adrenoceptor agonist phenylephrine (PE) using the selective AC1 inhibitor ST034307. The maximum rate change of spontaneously beating mouse right atrial tissue exposed to PE was reduced from 14.5% to 8.2% (p = 0.005) in the presence of 1 μM ST034307, whereas the increase in tension generated in paced left atrial tissue in the presence of PE was not inhibited by ST034307 (Control = 14.2%, ST034307 = 16.3%; p > 0.05). Experiments were performed using isolated guinea pig atrial and SAN cells loaded with Fluo-5F-AM to record changes in calcium transients (CaT) generated by 10 μM PE in the presence and absence of 1 μM ST034307. ST034307 significantly reduced the beating rate of SAN cells (0.34-fold decrease; p = 0.003) but did not inhibit changes in CaT amplitude in response to PE in atrial cells. The results presented here demonstrate pharmacologically the involvement of AC1 in the downstream response of atrial pacemaker activity to α-adrenoreceptor stimulation and IP3R calcium release.

STIM Proteins and Regulation of SOCE in ER-PM Junctions. Biomolecules 2022; 12:biom12081152. [PMID: 36009047 PMCID: PMC9405863 DOI: 10.3390/biom12081152] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/20/2022] [Revised: 08/12/2022] [Accepted: 08/15/2022] [Indexed: 11/30/2022] Open
Abstract
ER-PM junctions are membrane contact sites formed by the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and plasma membrane (PM) in close apposition together. The formation and stability of these junctions are dependent on constitutive and dynamic enrichment of proteins, which either contribute to junctional stability or modulate the lipid levels of both ER and plasma membranes. The ER-PM junctions have come under much scrutiny recently as they serve as hubs for assembling the Ca2+ signaling complexes. This review summarizes: (1) key findings that underlie the abilities of STIM proteins to accumulate in ER-PM junctions; (2) the modulation of Orai/STIM complexes by other components found within the same junction; and (3) how Orai1 channel activation is coordinated and coupled with downstream signaling pathways.

PKC-Mediated Orai1 Channel Phosphorylation Modulates Ca2+ Signaling in HeLa Cells. Cells 2022; 11:cells11132037. [PMID: 35805121 PMCID: PMC9266177 DOI: 10.3390/cells11132037] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/17/2022] [Revised: 05/15/2022] [Accepted: 05/27/2022] [Indexed: 12/04/2022] Open
Abstract
The overexpression of the Orai1 channel inhibits SOCE when using the Ca2+ readdition protocol. However, we found that HeLa cells overexpressing the Orai1 channel displayed enhanced Ca2+ entry and a limited ER depletion in response to the combination of ATP and thapsigargin (TG) in the presence of external Ca2+. As these effects require the combination of an agonist and TG, we decided to study whether the phosphorylation of Orai1 S27/S30 residues had any role using two different mutants: Orai1-S27/30A (O1-AA, phosphorylation-resistant) and Orai1-S27/30D (O1-DD, phosphomimetic). Both O1-wt and O1-AA supported enhanced Ca2+ entry, but this was not the case with O1-E106A (dead-pore mutant), O1-DD, and O1-AA-E106A, while O1-wt, O1-E106A, and O1-DD inhibited the ATP and TG-induced reduction of ER [Ca2+], suggesting that the phosphorylation of O1 S27/30 interferes with the IP3R activity. O1-wt and O1-DD displayed an increased interaction with IP3R in response to ATP and TG; however, the O1-AA channel decreased this interaction. The expression of mCherry-O1-AA increased the frequency of ATP-induced sinusoidal [Ca2+]i oscillations, while mCherry-O1-wt and mCherry-O1-DD decreased this frequency. These data suggest that the combination of ATP and TG stimulates Ca2+ entry, and the phosphorylation of Orai1 S27/30 residues by PKC reduces IP3R-mediated Ca2+ release.

Abstract
It is commonly accepted that the role of astrocytes exceeds far beyond neuronal scaffold and energy supply. Their unique morphological and functional features have recently brough much attention as it became evident that they play a fundamental role in neurotransmission and interact with synapses. Synaptic transmission is a highly orchestrated process, which triggers local and transient elevations in intracellular Ca2+, a phenomenon with specific temporal and spatial properties. Presynaptic activation of Ca2+-dependent adenylyl cyclases represents an important mechanism of synaptic transmission modulation. This involves activation of the cAMP-PKA pathway to regulate neurotransmitter synthesis, release and storage, and to increase neuroprotection. This aspect is of paramount importance for the preservation of neuronal survival and functionality in several pathological states occurring with progressive neuronal loss. Hence, the aim of this review is to discuss mutual relationships between cAMP and Ca2+ signaling and emphasize those alterations at the Ca2+/cAMP crosstalk that have been identified in neurodegenerative disorders, such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease.

Abstract
Tight spatiotemporal regulation of intracellular Ca2+ plays a critical role in regulating diverse cellular functions including cell survival, metabolism, and transcription. As a result, eukaryotic cells have developed a wide variety of mechanisms for controlling Ca2+ influx and efflux across the plasma membrane as well as Ca2+ release and uptake from intracellular stores. The STIM and Orai protein families comprising of STIM1, STIM2, Orai1, Orai2, and Orai3, are evolutionarily highly conserved proteins that are core components of all mammalian Ca2+ signaling systems. STIM1 and Orai1 are considered key players in the regulation of Store Operated Calcium Entry (SOCE), where release of Ca2+ from intracellular stores such as the Endoplasmic/Sarcoplasmic reticulum (ER/SR) triggers Ca2+ influx across the plasma membrane. SOCE, which has been widely characterized in non-excitable cells, plays a central role in Ca2+-dependent transcriptional regulation. In addition to their role in Ca2+ signaling, STIM1 and Orai1 have been shown to contribute to the regulation of metabolism and mitochondrial function. STIM and Orai proteins are also subject to redox modifications, which influence their activities. Considering their ubiquitous expression, there has been increasing interest in the roles of STIM and Orai proteins in excitable cells such as neurons and myocytes. While controversy remains as to the importance of SOCE in excitable cells, STIM1 and Orai1 are essential for cellular homeostasis and their disruption is linked to various diseases associated with aging such as cardiovascular disease and neurodegeneration. The recent identification of splice variants for most STIM and Orai isoforms while complicating our understanding of their function, may also provide insight into some of the current contradictions on their roles. Therefore, the goal of this review is to describe our current understanding of the molecular regulation of STIM and Orai proteins and their roles in normal physiology and diseases of aging, with a particular focus on heart disease and neurodegeneration.

Abstract
The composition and dynamics of the lipid membrane define the physical properties of the bilayer and consequently affect the function of the incorporated membrane transporters, which also applies for the prominent Ca2+ release-activated Ca2+ ion channel (CRAC). This channel is activated by receptor-induced Ca2+ store depletion of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and consists of two transmembrane proteins, STIM1 and Orai1. STIM1 is anchored in the ER membrane and senses changes in the ER luminal Ca2+ concentration. Orai1 is the Ca2+-selective, pore-forming CRAC channel component located in the plasma membrane (PM). Ca2+ store-depletion of the ER triggers activation of STIM1 proteins, which subsequently leads to a conformational change and oligomerization of STIM1 and its coupling to as well as activation of Orai1 channels at the ER-PM contact sites. Although STIM1 and Orai1 are sufficient for CRAC channel activation, their efficient activation and deactivation is fine-tuned by a variety of lipids and lipid- and/or ER-PM junction-dependent accessory proteins. The underlying mechanisms for lipid-mediated CRAC channel modulation as well as the still open questions, are presented in this review.

Abstract
Orai1, the Ca2+-selective pore in the plasma membrane, is one of the key components of the Ca2+release-activated Ca2+ (CRAC) channel complex. Activated by the Ca2+ sensor in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membrane, stromal interaction molecule 1 (STIM1), via direct interaction when ER luminal Ca2+ levels recede, Orai1 helps to maintain Ca2+ homeostasis within a cell. It has already been proven that the C-terminus of Orai1 is indispensable for channel activation. However, there is strong evidence that for CRAC channels to function properly and maintain all typical hallmarks, such as selectivity and reversal potential, additional parts of Orai1 are needed. In this review, we focus on these sites apart from the C-terminus; namely, the second loop and N-terminus of Orai1 and on their multifaceted role in the functioning of CRAC channels.

Abstract
The identification of two variants of the canonical pore-forming subunit of the Ca2+ release-activated Ca2+ (CRAC) channel Orai1, Orai1α and Orai1β, in mammalian cells arises the question whether they exhibit different functional characteristics. Orai1α and Orai1β differ in the N-terminal 63 amino acids, exclusive of Orai1α, and show different sensitivities to Ca2+-dependent inactivation, as well as distinct ability to form arachidonate-regulated channels. We have evaluated the role of both Orai1 variants in the activation of TRPC1 in HeLa cells. We found that Orai1α and Orai1β are required for the maintenance of regenerative Ca2+ oscillations, while TRPC1 plays a role in agonist-induced Ca2+ influx but is not essential for Ca2+ oscillations. Using APEX2 proximity labeling, co-immunoprecipitation and the fluorescence of G-GECO1.2 fused to Orai1α our results indicate that agonist stimulation and Ca2+ store depletion enhance Orai1α–TRPC1 interaction. Orai1α is essential for TRPC1 plasma membrane location and activation. Thus, TRPC1 function in HeLa cells depends on Ca2+ influx through Orai1α exclusively.

Abstract
The store-operated calcium (Ca2+) entry (SOCE) is the Ca2+ entry mechanism used by cells to replenish depleted Ca2+ store. The dysregulation of SOCE has been reported in metastatic cancer. It is believed that SOCE promotes migration and invasion by remodeling the actin cytoskeleton and cell adhesion dynamics. There is recent evidence supporting that SOCE is critical for the spatial and the temporal coding of Ca2+ signals in the cell. In this review, we critically examined the spatiotemporal control of SOCE signaling and its implication in the specificity and robustness of signaling events downstream of SOCE, with a focus on the spatiotemporal SOCE signaling during cancer cell migration, invasion and metastasis. We further discuss the limitation of our current understanding of SOCE in cancer metastasis and potential approaches to overcome such limitation.

Abstract
The interplay of SK3, a Ca2+ sensitive K+ ion channel, with Orai1, a Ca2+ ion channel, has been reported to increase cytosolic Ca2+ levels, thereby triggering proliferation of breast and colon cancer cells, although a molecular mechanism has remained elusive to date. We show in the current study, via heterologous protein expression, that Orai1 can enhance SK3 K+ currents, in addition to constitutively bound calmodulin (CaM). At low cytosolic Ca2+ levels that decrease SK3 K+ permeation, co-expressed Orai1 potentiates SK3 currents. This positive feedback mechanism of SK3 and Orai1 is enabled by their close co-localization. Remarkably, we discovered that loss of SK3 channel activity due to overexpressed CaM mutants could be restored by Orai1, likely via its interplay with the SK3-CaM binding site. Mapping for interaction sites within Orai1, we identified that the cytosolic strands and pore residues are critical for a functional communication with SK3. Moreover, STIM1 has a bimodal role in SK3-Orai1 regulation. Under physiological ionic conditions, STIM1 is able to impede SK3-Orai1 interplay by significantly decreasing their co-localization. Forced STIM1-Orai1 activity and associated Ca2+ influx promote SK3 K+ currents. The dynamic regulation of Orai1 to boost endogenous SK3 channels was also determined in the human prostate cancer cell line LNCaP.

Abstract
Adenylyl cyclases (ACs) catalyze the conversion of ATP to the ubiquitous second messenger cAMP. Mammals possess nine isoforms of transmembrane ACs, dubbed AC1-9, that serve as major effector enzymes of G protein-coupled receptors. The transmembrane ACs display varying expression patterns across tissues, giving potential for them having a wide array of physiologic roles. Cells express multiple AC isoforms, implying that ACs have redundant functions. Furthermore, all transmembrane ACs are activated by Gαs so it was long assumed that all ACs are activated by Gαs-coupled GPCRs. AC isoforms partition to different microdomains of the plasma membrane and form prearranged signaling complexes with specific GPCRs that contribute to cAMP signaling compartments. This compartmentation allows for a diversity of cellular and physiological responses by enabling unique signaling events to be triggered by different pools of cAMP. Isoform specific pharmacological activators or inhibitors are lacking for most ACs, making knockdown and overexpression the primary tools for examining the physiological roles of a given isoform. Much progress has been made in understanding the physiological effects mediated through individual transmembrane ACs. GPCR-AC-cAMP signaling pathways play significant roles in regulating functions of every cell and tissue, so understanding each AC isoform's role holds potential for uncovering new approaches for treating a vast array of pathophysiological conditions.

Abstract
To ensure specificity of response, eukaryotic cells often restrict signalling molecules to sub-cellular regions. The Ca2+ nanodomain is a spatially confined signal that arises near open Ca2+ channels. Ca2+ nanodomains near store-operated Orai1 channels stimulate the protein phosphatase calcineurin, which activates the transcription factor NFAT1, and both enzyme and target are initially attached to the plasma membrane through the scaffolding protein AKAP79. Here, we show that a cAMP signalling nexus also forms adjacent to Orai1. Protein kinase A and phosphodiesterase 4, an enzyme that rapidly breaks down cAMP, both associate with AKAP79 and realign close to Orai1 after stimulation. PCR and mass spectrometry failed to show expression of Ca2+-activated adenylyl cyclase 8 in HEK293 cells, whereas the enzyme was observed in neuronal cell lines. FRET and biochemical measurements of bulk cAMP and protein kinase A activity consistently failed to show an increase in adenylyl cyclase activity following even a large rise in cytosolic Ca2+. Furthermore, expression of AKAP79-CUTie, a cAMP FRET sensor tethered to AKAP79, did not report a rise in cAMP after stimulation, despite AKAP79 association with Orai1. Hence, HEK293 cells do not express functional active Ca2+-activated adenylyl cyclases including adenylyl cyclase 8. Our results show that two ancient second messengers are independently generated in nanodomains close to Orai1 Ca2+ channels.

Abstract
Cyclic AMP and Ca2+ are the first second or intracellular messengers identified, unveiling the cellular mechanisms activated by a plethora of extracellular signals, including hormones. Cyclic AMP generation is catalyzed by adenylyl cyclases (ACs), which convert ATP into cAMP and pyrophosphate. By the way, Ca2+, as energy, can neither be created nor be destroyed; Ca2+ can only be transported, from one compartment to another, or chelated by a variety of Ca2+-binding molecules. The fine regulation of cytosolic concentrations of cAMP and free Ca2+ is crucial in cell function and there is an intimate cross-talk between both messengers to fine-tune the cellular responses. Cancer is a multifactorial disease resulting from a combination of genetic and environmental factors. Frequent cases of cAMP and/or Ca2+ homeostasis remodeling have been described in cancer cells. In those tumoral cells, cAMP and Ca2+ signaling plays a crucial role in the development of hallmarks of cancer, including enhanced proliferation and migration, invasion, apoptosis resistance, or angiogenesis. This review summarizes the cross-talk between the ACs/cAMP and Ca2+ intracellular pathways with special attention to the functional and reciprocal regulation between Orai1 and AC8 in normal and cancer cells.

Abstract
The interplay between the Ca2+-sensitive adenylyl cyclase 8 (AC8) and Orai1 channels plays an important role both in the activation of the cAMP/PKA signaling and the modulation of Orai1-dependent Ca2+ signals. AC8 interacts with a N-terminal region that is exclusive to the Orai1 long variant, Orai1α. The interaction between both proteins allows the Ca2+ that enters the cell through Orai1α to activate the generation of cAMP by AC8. Subsequent PKA activation results in Orai1α inactivation by phosphorylation at serine-34, thus shaping Orai1-mediated cellular functions. In breast cancer cells, AC8 plays a relevant role supporting a variety of cancer hallmarks, including proliferation and migration. Breast cancer cells overexpress AC8, which shifts the AC8-Orai1 stoichiometry in favor of the former and leads to the impairment of PKA-dependent Orai1α inactivation. This mechanism contributes to the enhanced SOCE observed in triple-negative breast cancer cells. This review summarizes the functional interaction between AC8 and Orai1α in normal and breast cancer cells and its relevance for different cancer features.

Abstract
In eukaryotic cells, ultimate specificity in activation and action-for example, by means of second messengers-of the myriad of signaling cascades is primordial. In fact, versatile and ubiquitous second messengers, such as calcium (Ca2+) and cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP), regulate multiple-sometimes opposite-cellular functions in a specific spatiotemporal manner. Cells achieve this through segregation of the initiators and modulators to specific plasma membrane (PM) subdomains, such as lipid rafts and caveolae, as well as by dynamic close contacts between the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membrane and other intracellular organelles, including the PM. Especially, these membrane contact sites (MCSs) are currently receiving a lot of attention as their large influence on cell signaling regulation and cell physiology is increasingly appreciated. Depletion of ER Ca2+ stores activates ER membrane STIM proteins, which activate PM-residing Orai and TRPC Ca2+ channels at ER-PM contact sites. Within the MCS, Ca2+ fluxes relay to cAMP signaling through highly interconnected networks. However, the precise mechanisms of MCS formation and the influence of their dynamic lipid environment on their functional maintenance are not completely understood. The current review aims to provide an overview of our current understanding and to identify open questions of the field.

Abstract
In addition to maintaining cellular ER Ca2+ stores, store-operated Ca2+ entry (SOCE) regulates several Ca2+-sensitive cellular enzymes, including certain adenylyl cyclases (ADCYs), enzymes that synthesize the secondary messenger cyclic AMP (cAMP). Ca2+, acting with calmodulin, can also increase the activity of PDE1-family phosphodiesterases (PDEs), which cleave the phosphodiester bond of cAMP. Surprisingly, SOCE-regulated cAMP signaling has not been studied in cells expressing both Ca2+-sensitive enzymes. Here, we report that depletion of ER Ca2+ activates PDE1C in human arterial smooth muscle cells (HASMCs). Inhibiting the activation of PDE1C reduced the magnitude of both SOCE and subsequent Ca2+/calmodulin–mediated activation of ADCY8 in these cells. Because inhibiting or silencing Ca2+-insensitive PDEs had no such effects, these data identify PDE1C-mediated hydrolysis of cAMP as a novel and important link between SOCE and its activation of ADCY8. Functionally, we showed that PDE1C regulated the formation of leading-edge protrusions in HASMCs, a critical early event in cell migration. Indeed, we found that PDE1C populated the tips of newly forming leading-edge protrusions in polarized HASMCs, and co-localized with ADCY8, the Ca2+ release activated Ca2+ channel subunit, Orai1, the cAMP-effector, protein kinase A, and an A-kinase anchoring protein, AKAP79. Because this polarization could allow PDE1C to control cAMP signaling in a hyper-localized manner, we suggest that PDE1C-selective therapeutic agents could offer increased spatial specificity in HASMCs over agents that regulate cAMP globally in cells. Similarly, such agents could also prove useful in regulating crosstalk between Ca2+/cAMP signaling in other cells in which dysregulated migration contributes to human pathology, including certain cancers.

Abstract
The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) forms direct membrane contact sites with the plasma membrane (PM) in eukaryotic cells. These ER-PM contact sites play essential roles in lipid homeostasis, ion dynamics, and cell signaling, which are carried out by protein-protein or protein-lipid interactions. Distinct tethering factors dynamically control the architecture of ER-PM junctions in response to intracellular signals or external stimuli. The physiological roles of ER-PM contact sites are dependent on a variety of regulators that individually or cooperatively perform functions in diverse cellular processes. This review focuses on proteins functioning at ER-PM contact sites and highlights the recent progress in their mechanisms and physiological roles.

Abstract
The calcium-release-activated calcium (CRAC) channel, activated by the release of Ca2+ from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), is critical for Ca2+ homeostasis and active signal transduction in a plethora of cell types. Spurred by the long-sought decryption of the molecular nature of the CRAC channel, considerable scientific effort has been devoted to gaining insights into functional and structural mechanisms underlying this signalling cascade. Key players in CRAC channel function are the Stromal interaction molecule 1 (STIM1) and Orai1. STIM1 proteins span through the membrane of the ER, are competent in sensing luminal Ca2+ concentration, and in turn, are responsible for relaying the signal of Ca2+ store-depletion to pore-forming Orai1 proteins in the plasma membrane. A direct interaction of STIM1 and Orai1 allows for the re-entry of Ca2+ from the extracellular space. Although much is already known about the structure, function, and interaction of STIM1 and Orai1, there is growing evidence that CRAC under physiological conditions is dependent on additional proteins to function properly. Several auxiliary proteins have been shown to regulate CRAC channel activity by means of direct interactions with STIM1 and/or Orai1, promoting or hindering Ca2+ influx in a mechanistically diverse manner. Various proteins have also been identified to exert a modulatory role on the CRAC signalling cascade although inherently lacking an affinity for both STIM1 and Orai1. Apart from ubiquitously expressed representatives, a subset of such regulatory mechanisms seems to allow for a cell-type-specific control of CRAC channel function, considering the rather restricted expression patterns of the specific proteins. Given the high functional and clinical relevance of both generic and cell-type-specific interacting networks, the following review shall provide a comprehensive summary of regulators of the multilayered CRAC channel signalling cascade. It also includes proteins expressed in a narrow spectrum of cells and tissues that are often disregarded in other reviews of similar topics.

Abstract
Calcium (Ca2+) release-activated Ca2+ (CRAC) channels are a major route for Ca2+ entry in eukaryotic cells. These channels are store operated, opening when the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is depleted of Ca2+, and are composed of the ER Ca2+ sensor protein STIM and the pore-forming plasma membrane subunit Orai. Recent years have heralded major strides in our understanding of the structure, gating, and function of the channels. Loss-of-function and gain-of-function mutants combined with RNAi knockdown strategies have revealed important roles for the channel in numerous human diseases, making the channel a clinically relevant target. Drugs targeting the channels generally lack specificity or exhibit poor efficacy in animal models. However, the landscape is changing, and CRAC channel blockers are now entering clinical trials. Here, we describe the key molecular and biological features of CRAC channels, consider various diseases associated with aberrant channel activity, and discuss targeting of the channels from a therapeutic perspective.

Abstract
Calcium (Ca2+) ion microdomains are subcellular regions of high Ca2+ concentration that develop rapidly near open Ca2+ channels in the plasma membrane or internal stores and generate local regions of high Ca2+ concentration. These microdomains are remarkably versatile in that they activate a range of responses that differ enormously in both their temporal and spatial profile. In this review, we describe how Ca2+ microdomains generated by store-operated calcium channels, a widespread and conserved Ca2+ entry pathway, stimulate different signaling pathways, and how the spatial extent of a Ca2+ microdomain can be influenced by Ca2+ ATPase pumps.

Abstract
The Orai1 channel is regulated by stromal interaction molecules STIM1 and STIM2 within endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-plasma membrane (PM) contact sites. Ca2+ signals generated by Orai1 activate Ca2+-dependent gene expression. When compared with STIM1, STIM2 is a weak activator of Orai1, but it has been suggested to have a unique role in nuclear factor of activated T cells 1 (NFAT1) activation triggered by Orai1-mediated Ca2+ entry. In this study, we examined the contribution of STIM2 in NFAT1 activation. We report that STIM2 recruitment of Orai1/STIM1 to ER-PM junctions in response to depletion of ER-Ca2+ promotes assembly of the channel with AKAP79 to form a signaling complex that couples Orai1 channel function to the activation of NFAT1. Knockdown of STIM2 expression had relatively little effect on Orai1/STIM1 clustering or local and global [Ca2+]i increases but significantly attenuated NFAT1 activation and assembly of Orai1 with AKAP79. STIM1ΔK, which lacks the PIP2-binding polybasic domain, was recruited to ER-PM junctions following ER-Ca2+ depletion by binding to Orai1 and caused local and global [Ca2+]i increases comparable to those induced by STIM1 activation of Orai1. However, in contrast to STIM1, STIM1ΔK induced less NFAT1 activation and attenuated the association of Orai1 with STIM2 and AKAP79. Orai1-AKAP79 interaction and NFAT1 activation were recovered by coexpressing STIM2 with STIM1ΔK. Replacing the PIP2-binding domain of STIM1 with that of STIM2 eliminated the requirement of STIM2 for NFAT1 activation. Together, these data demonstrate an important role for STIM2 in coupling Orai1-mediated Ca2+ influx to NFAT1 activation.

Abstract
Calcium (Ca2+) and cyclic AMP (cAMP) signaling cross talk and synergize to stimulate the cardinal functions of exocrine cells, regulated exocytosis, and fluid and electrolyte secretion. This physiological process requires the organization of the two signaling pathways into complexes at defined cellular domains and close placement. Such domains are formed by membrane contact sites (MCS). This review discusses the basic properties of Ca2+ signaling in exocrine cells, the role of MCS in the organization of cell signaling and in cross talk and synergism between the Ca2+ and cAMP signaling pathways and, finally, the mechanism by which the Ca2+ and cAMP pathways synergize to stimulate epithelial fluid and electrolyte secretion.

Abstract
Calcium (Ca2+) signalling is of paramount importance to immunity. Regulated increases in cytosolic and organellar Ca2+ concentrations in lymphocytes control complex and crucial effector functions such as metabolism, proliferation, differentiation, antibody and cytokine secretion and cytotoxicity. Altered Ca2+ regulation in lymphocytes leads to various autoimmune, inflammatory and immunodeficiency syndromes. Several types of plasma membrane and organellar Ca2+-permeable channels are functional in T cells. They contribute highly localized spatial and temporal Ca2+ microdomains that are required for achieving functional specificity. While the mechanistic details of these Ca2+ microdomains are only beginning to emerge, it is evident that through crosstalk, synergy and feedback mechanisms, they fine-tune T cell signalling to match complex immune responses. In this article, we review the expression and function of various Ca2+-permeable channels in the plasma membrane, endoplasmic reticulum, mitochondria and endolysosomes of T cells and their role in shaping immunity and the pathogenesis of immune-mediated diseases.

Abstract
Orai1 plays a major role in store-operated Ca2+ entry (SOCE) in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) cells. This channel is inactivated via different mechanisms, including protein kinase C (PKC) and protein kinase A (PKA)-dependent phosphorylation at Ser-27 and Ser-30 or Ser-34, respectively, which shapes the Ca2+ responses to agonists. The Ca2+ calmodulin-activated adenylyl cyclase type 8 (AC8) was reported to interact directly with Orai1, thus mediating a dynamic interplay between the Ca2+- and cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP)-dependent signaling pathways. Here, we show that the breast cancer cell lines MCF7 and MDA-MB-231 exhibit enhanced expression of Orai1 and AC8 as compared to the non-tumoral breast epithelial MCF10A cell line. In these cells, AC8 interacts with the Orai1α variant in a manner that is not regulated by Orai1 phosphorylation. AC8 knockdown in MDA-MB-231 cells, using two different small interfering RNAs (siRNAs), attenuates thapsigargin (TG)-induced Ca2+ entry and also Ca2+ influx mediated by co-expression of Orai1 and the Orai1-activating small fragment (OASF) of STIM1 (stromal interaction molecule-1). Conversely, AC8 overexpression enhances SOCE, as well as Ca2+ entry, in cells co-expressing Orai1 and OASF. In MDA-MB-231 cells, we found that AC8 overexpression reduces the Orai1 phosphoserine content, thus suggesting that AC8 interferes with Orai1 serine phosphorylation, which takes place at residues located in the AC8-binding site. Consistent with this, the subset of Orai1 associated with AC8 in naïve MDA-MB-231 cells is not phosphorylated in serine residues in contrast to the AC8-independent Orai1 subset. AC8 expression knockdown attenuates migration of MCF7 and MDA-MB-231 cells, while this maneuver has no effect in the MCF10A cell line, which is likely attributed to the low expression of AC8 in these cells. We found that AC8 is required for FAK (focal adhesion kinase) phosphorylation in MDA-MB-231 cells, which might explain its role in cell migration. Finally, we found that AC8 is required for TNBC cell proliferation. These findings indicate that overexpression of AC8 in breast cancer MDA-MB-231 cells impairs the phosphorylation-dependent Orai1 inactivation, a mechanism that might support the enhanced ability of these cells to migrate.

Abstract
Ca2+ signals, which facilitate pluripotent changes in cell fate, reflect the balance between cation entry and export. We found that overexpression of either isoform of the Ca2+-extruding plasma membrane calcium ATPase 4 (PMCA4) pump in Jurkat T cells unexpectedly increased activation of the Ca2+-dependent transcription factor nuclear factor of activated T cells (NFAT). Coexpression of the endoplasmic reticulum-resident Ca2+ sensor stromal interaction molecule 1 (STIM1) with the PMCA4b splice variant further enhanced NFAT activity; however, coexpression with PMCA4a depressed NFAT. No PMCA4 splice variant dependence in STIM1 association was observed, whereas partner of STIM1 (POST) preferentially associated with PMCA4b over PMCA4a, which enhanced, rather than inhibited, PMCA4 function. A comparison of global and near-membrane cytosolic Ca2+ abundances during store-operated Ca2+ entry revealed that PMCA4 markedly depressed near-membrane Ca2+ concentrations, particularly when PMCA4b was coexpressed with STIM1. PMCA4b closely associated with both POST and the store-operated Ca2+ channel Orai1. Furthermore, POST knockdown increased the near-membrane Ca2+ concentration, inhibiting the global cytosolic Ca2+ increase. These observations reveal an unexpected role for POST in coupling PMCA4 to Orai1 to promote Ca2+ entry during T cell activation through Ca2+ disinhibition.

Abstract
Calcium and cyclic AMP form the cornerstones of two ancient signaling systems represented in nearly every kingdom of life. Not surprisingly, these old and ubiquitous messenger molecules have co-evolved multiple means to regulate one another. Zhang et al. describe a new twist on this theme related to the intimate union between the calcium-activated adenylyl cyclase, AC8, and the store-operated Ca2+ channel, Orai1.

Abstract
Store-operated Ca2+ entry, involving endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ sensing STIM proteins and plasma membrane Orai1 channels, is a widespread and evolutionary conserved Ca2+ influx pathway. This form of Ca2+ influx occurs at discrete loci where peripheral endoplasmic reticulum juxtaposes the plasma membrane. Stimulation evokes numerous STIM1-Orai1 clusters but whether distinct signal transduction pathways require different cluster numbers is unknown. Here, we show that two Ca2+-dependent transcription factors, NFAT1 and c-fos, have different requirements for the number of STIM1-Orai1 clusters and on the Ca2+ flux through them. NFAT activation requires fewer clusters and is more robustly activated than c-fos by low concentrations of agonist. For similar cluster numbers, transcription factor recruitment occurs sequentially, arising from intrinsic differences in Ca2+ sensitivities. Variations in the number of STIM1-Orai1 clusters and Ca2+ flux through them regulate the robustness of signalling to the nucleus whilst imparting a mechanism for selective recruitment of different Ca2+-dependent transcription factors.

Abstract
The fidelity of cAMP in controlling numerous cellular functions rests crucially on the precise organization of cAMP microdomains that are sustained by the scaffolding properties of adenylyl cyclase. Earlier studies suggested that AC8 enriches in lipid rafts where it interacts with cytoskeletal elements. However, these are not stable structures and little is known about the dynamics of AC8 secretion and its interactions. The present study addresses the role of the cytoskeleton in maintaining the AC8 microenvironment, particularly in the context of the trafficking route of AC8 and its interaction with caveolin1. Here, biochemical and live-cell imaging approaches expose a complex, dynamic interaction between AC8 and caveolin1 that affects AC8 processing, targeting and responsiveness in plasma membrane lipid rafts. Site-directed mutagenesis and pharmacological approaches reveal that AC8 is processed with complex N-glycans and associates with lipid rafts en route to the plasma membrane. A dynamic picture emerges of the trafficking and interactions of AC8 while travelling to the plasma membrane, which are key to the organization of the AC8 microdomain.

Abstract
This review discusses aspects of known and putative compartmentalized 3',5'-cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) signaling in astrocytes, a cell type that has turned out to be a key player in brain physiology and pathology. cAMP has attracted less attention than Ca2+ in recent years, but could turn out to rival Ca2+ in its potential to drive cellular functions and responses to intra- and extracellular cues. Further, Ca2+ and cAMP are known to engage in extensive crosstalk and cAMP signals often take place within subcellular compartments revolving around multi-protein signaling complexes; however, we know surprisingly little about this in astrocytes. Here, we review aspects of astrocytic cAMP signaling, provide arguments for an increased interest in this subject, suggest possible future research directions within the field, and discuss putative drug targets.

A calcium/cAMP signaling loop at the ORAI1 mouth drives channel inactivation to shape NFAT induction. Nat Commun 2019; 10:1971.

Abstract
ORAI1 constitutes the store-operated Ca2+ release-activated Ca2+ (CRAC) channel crucial for life. Whereas ORAI1 activation by Ca2+-sensing STIM proteins is known, still obscure is how ORAI1 is turned off through Ca2+-dependent inactivation (CDI), protecting against Ca2+ toxicity. Here we identify a spatially-restricted Ca2+/cAMP signaling crosstalk critical for mediating CDI. Binding of Ca2+-activated adenylyl cyclase 8 (AC8) to the N-terminus of ORAI1 positions AC8 near the mouth of ORAI1 for sensing Ca2+. Ca2+ permeating ORAI1 activates AC8 to generate cAMP and activate PKA. PKA, positioned by AKAP79 near ORAI1, phosphorylates serine-34 in ORAI1 pore extension to induce CDI whereas recruitment of the phosphatase calcineurin antagonizes the effect of PKA. Notably, CDI shapes ORAI1 cytosolic Ca2+ signature to determine the isoform and degree of NFAT activation. Thus, we uncover a mechanism of ORAI1 inactivation, and reveal a hitherto unappreciated role for inactivation in shaping cellular Ca2+ signals and NFAT activation. ORAI1 constitutes the store-operated Ca2+ release-activated Ca2+ (CRAC) channel, but how this channel is turned off through Ca2+-dependent inactivation (CDI) remained unclear. Here the authors identify a spatially-restricted Ca2+/cAMP signaling crosstalk critical for mediating CDI which in turn regulates cellular Ca2+ signals and NFAT activation.

Abstract
STIM1- and Orai1-mediated store-operated Ca2+ entry (SOCE) constitutes the major Ca2+ influx in almost all electrically non-excitable cells. However, little is known about the spatiotemporal organization at the elementary level. Here, we developed Orai1-tethered or palmitoylated biosensor GCaMP6f to report subplasmalemmal Ca2+ signals. We visualized spontaneous discrete and long-lasting transients ('Ca2+ glows') arising from STIM1-Orai1 in invading melanoma cells. Ca2+ glows occurred preferentially in single invadopodia and at sites near the cell periphery under resting conditions. Re-addition of external Ca2+ after store depletion elicited spatially synchronous Ca2+ glows, followed by high-rate discharge of asynchronous local events. Knockout of STIM1 or expression of the dominant-negative Orai1-E106A mutant markedly decreased Ca2+ glow frequency, diminished global SOCE and attenuated invadopodial formation. Functionally, invadopodial Ca2+ glows provided high Ca2+ microdomains to locally activate Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent Pyk2 (also known as PTK2B), which initiates the SOCE-Pyk2-Src signaling cascade required for invasion. Overall, the discovery of elemental Ca2+ signals of SOCE not only unveils a previously unappreciated gating mode of STIM1-Orai1 channels in situ, but also underscores a critical role of the spatiotemporal dynamics of SOCE in orchestrating complex cell behaviors such as invasion. This article has an associated First Person interview with the first author of the paper.

Abstract
Ca2+ channels play an important role in the development of different types of cancer, and considerable progress has been made to understand the pathophysiological mechanisms underlying the role of Ca2+ influx in the development of different cancer hallmarks. Orai1 is among the most ubiquitous and multifunctional Ca2+ channels. Orai1 mediates the highly Ca2+-selective Ca2+ release-activated current (ICRAC) and participates in the less Ca2+-selective store-operated current (ISOC), along with STIM1 or STIM1 and TRPC1, respectively. Furthermore, Orai1 contributes to a variety of store-independent Ca2+ influx mechanisms, including the arachidonate-regulated Ca2+ current, together with Orai3 and the plasma membrane resident pool of STIM1, as well as the constitutive Ca2+ influx processes activated by the secretory pathway Ca2+-ATPase-2 (SPCA2) or supported by physical and functional interaction with the small conductance Ca2+-activated K+ channel 3 (SK3) or the voltage-dependent Kv10.1 channel. This review summarizes the current knowledge concerning the store-independent mechanisms of Ca2+ influx activation through Orai1 channels and their role in the development of different cancer features.

Abstract
Since calcium (Ca2+) regulates a large variety of cellular signaling processes in a cell's life, precise control of Ca2+ concentrations within the cell is essential. This enables the transduction of information via Ca2+ changes in a time-dependent and spatially defined manner. Here, we review molecular and functional aspects of how the store-operated Ca2+ channel Orai1 creates spatiotemporal Ca2+ microdomains. The architecture of this channel is unique, with a long helical pore and a six-fold symmetry. Energetic barriers within the Ca2+ channel pathway limit permeation to allow an extensive local Ca2+ increase in close proximity to the channel. The precise timing of the Orai1 channel function is controlled by direct binding to STIM proteins upon Ca2+ depletion in the endoplasmic reticulum. These induced Ca2+ microdomains are tailored to, and sufficient for, triggering long-term activation processes, such as transcription factor activation and subsequent gene regulation. We describe the principles of spatiotemporal activation of the transcription factor NFAT and compare its signaling characteristics to those of the autophagy regulating transcription factors, MITF and TFEB.

Abstract
A typical characteristic of eukaryotic cells compared to prokaryotes is represented by the spatial heterogeneity of the different structural and functional components: for example, most of the genetic material is surrounded by a highly specific membrane structure (the nuclear membrane), continuous with, yet largely different from, the endoplasmic reticulum (ER); oxidative phosphorylation is carried out by organelles enclosed by a double membrane, the mitochondria; in addition, distinct domains, enriched in specific proteins, are present in the plasma membrane (PM) of most cells. Less obvious, but now generally accepted, is the notion that even the concentration of small molecules such as second messengers (Ca2+ and cAMP in particular) can be highly heterogeneous within cells. In the case of most organelles, the differences in the luminal levels of second messengers depend either on the existence on their membrane of proteins that allow the accumulation/release of the second messenger (e.g., in the case of Ca2+, pumps, exchangers or channels), or on the synthesis and degradation of the specific molecule within the lumen (the autonomous intramitochondrial cAMP system). It needs stressing that the existence of a surrounding membrane does not necessarily imply the existence of a gradient between the cytosol and the organelle lumen. For example, the nuclear membrane is highly permeable to both Ca2+ and cAMP (nuclear pores are permeable to solutes up to 50 kDa) and differences in [Ca2+] or [cAMP] between cytoplasm and nucleoplasm are not seen in steady state and only very transiently during cell activation. A similar situation has been observed, as far as Ca2+ is concerned, in peroxisomes.

Abstract
Agonist-dependent Ca2+ mobilization results in Ca2+ store depletion and Store-Operated Calcium Entry (SOCE), which is spatially restricted to microdomains defined by cortical ER – plasma membrane contact sites (MCS). However, some Ca2+-dependent effectors that localize away from SOCE microdomains, are activated downstream of SOCE by mechanisms that remain obscure. One mechanism proposed initially in acinar cells and termed Ca2+ tunneling, mediates the uptake of Ca2+ flowing through SOCE into the ER followed by release at distal sites through IP3 receptors. Here we show that Ca2+ tunneling encodes exquisite specificity downstream of SOCE signal by dissecting the sensitivity and dependence of multiple effectors in HeLa cells. While mitochondria readily perceive Ca2+ release when stores are full, SOCE shows little effect in raising mitochondrial Ca2+, and Ca2+-tunneling is completely inefficient. In contrast, gKCa displays a similar sensitivity to Ca2+ release and tunneling, while the activation of NFAT1 is selectively responsive to SOCE and not to Ca2+ release. These results show that in contrast to the previously described long-range Ca2+ tunneling, in non-specialized HeLa cells this mechanism mediates spatially restricted Ca2+ rise within the cortical region of the cell to activate a specific subset of effectors.

Abstract
Cellular organelles form multiple junctional complexes with one another and the emerging research area dealing with such structures and their functions is undergoing explosive growth. A new research journal named “Contact” has been recently established to facilitate the development of this research field. The current consensus is to define an organellar junction by the maximal distance between the participating organelles; and the gap of 30 nm or less is considered appropriate for classifying such structures as junctions or membrane contact sites. Ideally, the organellar junction should have a functional significance, i.e. facilitate transfer of calcium, sterols, phospholipids, iron and possibly other substances between the organelles (Carrasco and Meyer in Annu Rev Biochem 80:973–1000, 2011; Csordas et al. in Trends Cell Biol 28:523–540, 2018; Phillips and Voeltz in Nat Rev Mol Cell Biol 17:69–82, 2016; Prinz in J Cell Biol 205:759–769, 2014). It is also important to note that the junction is not just a result of a random organelle collision but have active and specific formation, stabilisation and disassembly mechanisms. The nature of these mechanisms and their role in physiology/pathophysiology are the main focus of an emerging research field. In this review, we will briefly describe junctional complexes formed by cellular organelles and then focus on the junctional complexes that are formed by mitochondria with other organelles and the role of these complexes in regulating Ca2+ signalling.
