Figure 1(A) HEK cells transfected with STIM1-CFP, Orai1-mCherry, and with (red) or without (black) untagged ANO8 were used to measure CRAC current with pipette solution (cytoplasmic buffer) containing 3 mM EGTA. The columns show the averaged effect of ANO8 on current density and on the slop of slow Ca2+-dependent inactivation (SCDI). The results are mean±s.e.m and difference were analyzed by unpaired t test. Data information: The first number in parenthesis indicates the number of similar experiments performed and the second number is the number of cells analyzed. All results are given as mean±s.e.m of the indicated number of experiments or cells analyzed.(B) Fura2-loaded HEK cells transfected with YFP (control, black) or ANO8-YFP (red) were used to measure store-mediated Ca2+ influx. Stores were depleted by treatment with the SERCA inhibitor CPA and Ca2+ influx was measured by Ca2+ add-back. The results are mean±s.e.m and difference were analyzed by unpaired t test. Data information: The first number in parenthesis indicates the number of similar experiments performed and the second number is the number of cells analyzed. All results are given as mean±s.e.m of the indicated number of experiments or cells analyzed.(C) FRET efficiency was measured with HEK cells transfected with STIM1-CFP, ANO8-YFP, and with (red) and without (black) Orai1-HA before and after store depletion. Here and all other FRET measurements, representative images of the FRET signal under each condition are shown next to the traces. Data information: The first number in parenthesis indicates the number of similar experiments performed and the second number is the number of cells analyzed.
