The store-operated Ca 2+ channel Orai1α is required for agonist-evoked NF-κB activation by a mechanism dependent on PKCβ2.
Journal of Biological Chemistry 2023 January 7
Store-operated Ca2+ entry is a ubiquitous mechanism for Ca2+ influx in mammalian cells that regulates a variety of physiological processes. The identification of two forms of Orai1, the predominant store-operated channel, Orai1α and Orai1β, raises the question whether they differentially regulate cell function. Orai1α is the full-length Orai1, containing 301 amino acids, while Orai1β lacks the N-terminal 63 amino acids. Here, using a combination of biochemistry and imaging combined with the use of HEK293 knockout cells, missing the native Orai1, transfected with plasmids encoding for either Orai1α or Orai1β, we show that Orai1α plays a relevant role in agonist-induced NF-κB transcriptional activity. In contrast, functional Orai1β is not required for the activation of these transcription factors. The role of Orai1α in the activation of NF-κB is entirely dependent on Ca2+ influx and involves PKCβ activation. Our results indicate that Orai1α interacts with PKCβ2 by a mechanism involving the Orai1α exclusive AKAP79 association region (AKAR), which strongly suggests a role for AKAP79 in this process. These findings provide evidence of the role of Orai1α in agonist-induced NF-κB transcriptional activity and reveal functional differences between Orai1 variants.
