Abstract

GRAM domain proteins were reported as novel ER-PM tethers defining specific membrane contact sites (MCS) subdomains. GRAMD2a pre-marks the sites occupied by STIM1 at MCS and its ablation impairs STIM1 translocation, but not store-operated Ca2+ entry. We discuss these apparently counterintuitive findings in the context of STIM/ORAI signaling at MCS.
