Abstract

Store-operated Ca2+ entry (SOCE) is a widespread mechanism in cells to raise cytosolic
Ca2+ and to refill Ca2+ stores. T cells critically rely on SOCE mediated by stromal interaction
molecules (STIM) and Orai molecules for their activation and regulation of gene transcription;
cells such as muscle cells, neurons or melanocytes probably utilize SOCE for the transmission of
inducible receptor-mediated function as well as for generalized Ca2+ homeostasis mechanisms.
Exposure to environmental or cell-intrinisic reactive oxygen species (ROS) can affect several
components involved in Ca2+ homeostasis and thus alter multiple pathways. While all cells have
a capacity to produce intracellular ROS, exposure of immune and skin cells to extracellular
oxidative stress is particularly high during inflammation and/or with UV exposure. This review
briefly summarizes cell-intrinsic sources ofROS and focuses on current findings and controversies
regarding the regulation of STIM and Orai by oxidative modifications. We also introduce
melanocytes as a new model system to study the function of STIM and Orai isoforms under
physiological conditions that include exposure to UV light as an activating stimulus.
