The remote allosteric control of Orai channel gating.

Calcium Spacers signals drive an endless array of cellular responses including secretion, contraction, transcription, cell division, and growth.The ubiquitously expressed Orai family of plasma membrane (PM) ion channels mediate Ca2+ entry signals triggered by the Ca2+ sensor Stromal Interaction Molecule (STIM) proteins of the endoplasmic reticulum

Interplays of AMPK and TOR in Autophagy Regulation in Yeast

Cells survey their environment and need to balance growth and anabolism with stress programmes and catabolism towards maximum cellular bioenergetics economy and survival.Nutrient-responsive pathways, such as the mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR) interact and cross-talk, continuously, with stress-responsive hubs such as the AMP-activated protei
