Summary
ORAI1 (ORAI calcium release-activated calcium modulator 1, HGNC:25896) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 12q24.31, encoding Calcium release-activated calcium channel protein 1 (Q96D31). Pore-forming subunit of two major inward rectifying Ca(2+) channels at the plasma membrane: Ca(2+) release-activated Ca(2+) (CRAC) channels and arachidonate-regulated Ca(2+)-selective (ARC) channels.
The protein encoded by this gene is a membrane calcium channel subunit that is activated by the calcium sensor STIM1 when calcium stores are depleted. This type of channel is the primary way for calcium influx into T-cells. Defects in this gene are a cause of immune dysfunction with T-cell inactivation due to calcium entry defect type 1 (IDTICED1).

Literature-anchored findings (GeneRIF, showing 40)
- Orai1 is an essential component or regulator of the CRAC channel complex (PMID:16582901)
- results demonstrate that the protein CRACM1 encoded by FLJ14466 is essential for store-operated Ca2+ influx via Ca2+ release-activated Ca2+ (CRAC) channels (PMID:16645049)
- STIM1 and CRACM1 interact functionally. Overexpression of both proteins greatly potentiates I(CRAC), suggesting that STIM1 and CRACM1 mutually limit store-operated currents and that CRACM1 may be the long-sought CRAC channel. (PMID:16733527)
- suppression of store-operated channels function by Orai1 overexpression likely reflects a required stoichiometry between STIM1 and Orai1 (PMID:16766533)
- strong evidence that Orai1 is a pore subunit of the CRAC channel. (PMID:16921383)
- CRACM1 multimers form the ion-selective pore of the CRAC channel. (PMID:16978865)
- Therefore, we propose that store depletion causes aggregation and translocation of STIM1 in close apposition to the plasma membrane. (PMID:17045966)
- Ca2+ entry supporting [Ca2+]i oscillations in HEK293 cells depends upon the Ca2+ sensor, Stim1, and calcium release-activated Ca2+ channel protein, Orai1 (PMID:17218358)
- dynamic assembly of TRPC1-STIM1-Orai1 ternary complex is involved in activation of SOC channel in response to internal Ca2+ store depletion (PMID:17224452)
- Orai1 physically interacts with the N and C termini of TRPC3 and TRPC6 (PMID:17360584)
- Results demonstrate biochemical and physiological relevance of Orai proteins in light of different evolutionary origins. (PMID:17400243)
- CRACM1, CRACM2, and CRACM3 are store-operated Ca2+ channels with distinct functional properties. (PMID:17442569)
- Results suggest that Orai1, -2, and -3 channels are similarly inhibited by extracellular calcium, indicating similar affinities for Ca(2+) within the selectivity filter. (PMID:17452328)
- analysis of the plasma membrane-endoplasmic reticulum contact sites reveals the presence of additional molecular components within the STIM1-Orai1 Complex (PMID:17684017)
- the interacting domains of STIM1 and Orai1 have roles in Ca2+ release-activated Ca2+ channel activation (PMID:17702753)
- analysis of how Orai1 mutations alter ion permeation and Ca2+-dependent fast inactivation of CRAC channels (PMID:17968026)
- Expression of a dominant-negative mutant Orai3, either alone or in cells expressing wild-type Orai1, profoundly and specifically reduces currents through the ARC channels without affecting those through the CRAC channels. (PMID:17991693)
- The functional CRAC channel pore is formed by a tetrameric assembly of Orai1 subunits. (PMID:18006576)
- A mutation of Orai1 (V102I) close to the selectivity filter modified CRAC channel voltage sensitivity. (PMID:18096706)
- C-terminal coiled-coil motif of ORAI1 represents a key domain for dynamic coupling to STIM1. (PMID:18187424)
- Orai1-STIM1 protein complex is one of the molecular components involved in Pb2+ entry. (PMID:18190941)
- Results suggest that ORAI1 together with STIM1 are important contributors to store-operated calcium entry in airway smooth muscle cells. (PMID:18239188)
- results imply a positive feedback loop in which an initial TCR signal favors up-regulation of STIM1 and Orai proteins that would augment Ca2+ signaling during subsequent antigen encounter (PMID:18250319)
- demonstrate a functional requirement for Orai1 in TRPC1+STIM1-dependent SOCE (PMID:18326500)

Function. Pore-forming subunit of two major inward rectifying Ca(2+) channels at the plasma membrane: Ca(2+) release-activated Ca(2+) (CRAC) channels and arachidonate-regulated Ca(2+)-selective (ARC) channels. Assembles with ORAI2 and ORAI3 to form hexameric CRAC channels that mediate Ca(2+) influx upon depletion of endoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+) store and channel activation by Ca(2+) sensor STIM1, a process known as store-operated Ca(2+) entry (SOCE). Various pore subunit combinations may account for distinct CRAC channel spatiotemporal and cell-type specific dynamics. ORAI1 mainly contributes to the generation of Ca(2+) plateaus involved in sustained Ca(2+) entry and is dispensable for cytosolic Ca(2+) oscillations, whereas ORAI2 and ORAI3 generate oscillatory patterns. CRAC channels assemble in Ca(2+) signaling microdomains where Ca(2+) influx is coupled to calmodulin and calcineurin signaling and activation of NFAT transcription factors recruited to ORAI1 via AKAP5. Activates NFATC2/NFAT1 and NFATC3/NFAT4-mediated transcriptional responses. CRAC channels are the main pathway for Ca(2+) influx in T cells and promote the immune response to pathogens by activating NFAT-dependent cytokine and chemokine transcription. Assembles with ORAI3 to form channels that mediate store-independent Ca(2+) influx in response to inflammatory metabolites arachidonate or its derivative leukotriene C4, termed ARC and LRC channels respectively. Plays a prominent role in Ca(2+) influx at the basolateral membrane of mammary epithelial cells independently of the Ca(2+) content of endoplasmic reticulum or Golgi stores. May mediate transepithelial transport of large quantities of Ca(2+) for milk secretion. Pore-forming subunit of both CRAC and ARC channels. Couples Ca(2+) influx to NFAT-mediated transcriptional responses. Pore-forming subunit of CRAC channels exclusively.
Subunit / interactions. Oligomerizes in homomeric and heteromeric ORAI complexes. Native CRAC channels most likely consist of hexameric ORAI heteromers, implying that diverse ORAI1, ORAI2 and ORAI3 subunit combinations with distinct biophysical properties can operate in a cell-type specific way. ARC channels are heteropentamers consisting of three ORAI1 and two ORAI3 subunits. Interacts with STIM1 and STIM2; this regulates channel activity. Interacts with CALM; this may displace STIM1 and STIM2 and might thereby modulate channel activity. Interacts with CRACR2A/EFCAB4B; the interaction is direct and takes place in absence of Ca(2+). Forms a complex with CRACR2A/EFCAB4B and STIM1 at low concentration of Ca(2+), the complex dissociates at elevated Ca(2+) concentrations. Interacts with ASPH (isoform 8). Interacts with SLC35G1. Interacts with UBQLN1. Interacts with ADCY8; interaction is calcium store depletion independent; interaction occurs in membrane raft; interaction increases markedly after store depletion; positively regulates SOCE-induced adenylate cyclase activity; contributes to the targeting of ADCY8 to discrete regions of the plasma membrane that are shielded from other calcium events. Interacts with EFHB; the interaction takes place upon Ca(2+)-store depletion. Interacts (via N- and C-termini) with ATP2C2 (via N-terminus); this interaction regulates Ca(2+) influx at the plasma membrane. Interacts with TSPAN18; this interaction regulates ORAI1 exit from the endoplasmic (ER), and/or Golgi, and trafficking to the cell surface. Pore-forming subunit of both CRAC and ARC channels. Interacts (via N-terminus) with AKAP5 upon store depletion. Pore-forming subunit of CRAC channels exclusively.
Subcellular location. Cell membrane. Basolateral cell membrane Cell membrane Cell membrane.
Tissue specificity. Expressed in naive CD4 and CD8 T cells (at protein level). Expressed at similar levels in naive and effector T helper cells.
Post-translational modifications. N-glycosylated. N-glycosylation inhibits channel activity in T cells. Ubiquitinated. Cys-195 is oxidated, leading to inactivation of channel activity.
Disease relevance. Immunodeficiency 9 (IMD9) [MIM:612782] An immune disorder characterized by recurrent infections, impaired activation and proliferative response of T-cells, decreased T-cell production of cytokines, and normal lymphocytes counts and serum immunoglobulin levels. In surviving patients ectodermal dysplasia with anhidrosis and non-progressive myopathy may be observed. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. Myopathy, tubular aggregate, 2 (TAM2) [MIM:615883] A rare congenital myopathy characterized by regular arrays of membrane tubules on muscle biopsies without additional histopathological hallmarks. Tubular aggregates in muscle are structures of variable appearance consisting of an outer tubule containing either one or more microtubule-like structures or amorphous material. TAM2 patients have myopathy and pupillary abnormalities. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.
Activity regulation. Oxidation at Cys-195 leads to inactivation of channel activity. CRAC channels are regulated by fast Ca(2+)-dependent inactivation (FCDI), a mechanism that limits Ca(2+) influx and cell toxicity. Contrary to ORAI2 and ORAI3 subunits, ORAI1 displays small FCDI. Both CRAC and ARC channels are inhibited by lanthanides including La(3+) and Gd(3+) ions.
Domain organisation. The Pro-rich region of ORAI1 (residues 3-47) functionally interacts with the polybasic Lys-rich region of STIM1 (residues 672-685) and regulates CRAC channel gating at negative membrane potentials. AKAP5 association region (AKAR) mediates coupling of ORAI1 to AKAP5-dependent NFATC2/NFAT1 transcriptional responses.
Miscellaneous. In Greek mythology, the ‘Orai’ are the keepers of the gates of heaven: Eunomia (order or harmony), Dike (justice) and Eirene (peace).
Similarity. Belongs to the Orai family.
