Store-operated Ca entry is one of the main pathways of calcium influx into non-excitable cells, which entails the initiation of many intracellular processes. The endoplasmic reticulum Ca sensors STIM1 and STIM2 are the key components of store-operated Ca entry in mammalian cells. Under physiological conditions, STIM proteins are responsible for store-operated Ca entry activation. The STIM1 and STIM2 proteins differ in their potency for activating different store-operated channels. At the moment, there are no selective modulators of the STIM protein activity. We screened a library of small molecules and found the 4-MPTC compound, which selectively inhibited STIM2-dependent store-operated Ca entry (50 = 1 μM) and had almost no effect on the STIM1-dependent activation of store-operated channels.
钙库操纵性钙内流是钙流入非兴奋性细胞的主要途径之一,它引发许多细胞内过程。内质网钙传感器STIM1和STIM2是哺乳动物细胞中钙库操纵性钙内流的关键组成部分。在生理条件下,STIM蛋白负责激活钙库操纵性钙内流。STIM1和STIM2蛋白在激活不同钙库操纵性通道的能力上有所不同。目前,尚无STIM蛋白活性的选择性调节剂。我们筛选了一个小分子文库,发现了4-MPTC化合物,它能选择性抑制STIM2依赖性钙库操纵性钙内流(IC50 = 1 μM),而对STIM1依赖性钙库操纵性通道的激活几乎没有影响。
