Figure 7.

Orai1 channel activity varies widely between puncta independent of STIM1/Orai1 ratio. (A) Plots of Orai1-GCaMP6f ΔF/F0 plateau values measured in response to a 600-ms test pulse to −100 mV. Red rectangles indicate the mean ±2 SD of measurement errors. (B) Scatterplot of ΔF/F0 versus relative STIM1/Orai1 ratio for the six cells shown in A. The cell of origin is indicated by the colored labels shown in A. Note that ΔF/F0 is near zero only for relative STIM1/Orai1 ratios near 1. (C) Scatterplot of ΔF/F0 versus relative STIM1/Orai1 ratio shown for cell A. Note the wide spread of values of ΔF/F0 and relative STIM1/Orai1 ratio for individual puncta from the same cell. (D) Scatterplot of ΔF/F0 versus relative STIM1/Orai1 ratio shown for cell B. Red line corresponds to a curve fit to the Hill equation (Kd = 1.08 [95% CI, 1.02–1.13], hc = 10 [95% CI, 6–17], R2 = 0.45). (E) Scatterplot of A-index versus relative STIM1/Orai1 ratio for the six cells shown in A. Inclusion was restricted to puncta with ΔF/F0 > 0.25. (F) Scatterplot of A-index versus relative STIM1/Orai1 ratio shown for cell F. Note that the A-index declines at low relative STIM1/Orai1 ratios.
