Figure 7. H155 is the intracellular pH sensor of Orai1/STIM1 channels.

Figure 7

(A,B) effects of pHi 5.5 and pHi 8.4 on H155F in comparison with WT Orai1/STIM1. The original recordings of WT Orai1/STIM1 in A are from the Fig. 5A. Note that pHi 5.5 and pHi 8.4 produced much smaller change on H155F (B) compared with WT Orai1/STIM1 (A). (C) Averaged changes of current amplitude by pHi 5.5 and 9.0. (D) Concentration-dependent effects of pHi on H155F compared with WT Orai1/STIM1. Note that alkaline pHi failed to potentiate H155F current amplitude, whereas acidic pHi produced much smaller inhibition in comparison with WT Orai1/STIM1. E, Dose-response curves constructed using current amplitude normalized to the maximal current amplitude. The pKa was 7.46 ± 0.18 (n = 6–44) and 6.56 ± 0.63 (n = 6–11) for WT and H155F mutant.
