The binding of stromal interaction molecule 1 (STIM1) to ORAI calcium channels is critical for store-operated calcium entry (SOCE), a calcium influx pathway conserved among nearly all vertebrate cells. Although many major steps of this pathway are well understood, crucial details regarding the mechanism of STIM1 activation remain unclear. A study in this issue provides important new insights into the conformational changes that occur during STIM1 activation.
