Polarized Ca 2+ signals in secretory epithelial cells are determined by compartmentalized localization of Ca 2+ signaling proteins at the apical pole. Recently the ER Ca 2+ sensor STIM1 (stromal interaction molecule 1) and the Orai channels were shown to play a critical role in store‐dependent Ca 2+ influx. STIM1 also gates the transient receptor potential‐canonical (TRPC) channels. Here, we asked how cell stimulation affects the localization, recruitment and function of the native proteins in polarized cells. Inhibition of Orai1, STIM1, or deletion of TRPC1 reduces Ca 2+ influx and frequency of Ca 2+ oscillations. Orai1 localization is restricted to the apical pole of the lateral membrane. Surprisingly, cell stimulation does not lead to robust clustering of native Orai1, as is observed with expressed Orai1. Unexpectedly, cell stimulation causes polarized recruitment of native STIM1 to both the apical and lateral regions, thus to regions with and without Orai1. Accordingly, STIM1 and Orai1 show only 40% colocalization. Consequently, STIM1 shows higher colocalization with the basolateral membrane marker E‐cadherin than does Orai1, while Orai1 showed higher colocalization with the tight junction protein ZO1. TRPC1 is expressed in both apical and basolateral regions of the plasma membrane. Co‐IP of STIM1/Orai1/IP 3 receptors (IP 3 Rs)/TRPCs is enhanced by cell stimulation and disrupted by 2‐aminoethoxydiphenyl borate (2APB). The polarized localization and recruitment of these proteins results in preferred Ca 2+ entry that is initiated at the apical pole. These findings reveal that in addition to Orai1, STIM1 likely regulates other Ca 2+ permeable channels, such as the TRPCs. Both channels contribute to the frequency of [Ca 2+ ] oscillations and thus impact critical cellular functions.
