  bibo_abstract:
  - The Ca2+-release-activated Ca2+ (CRAC) channel Orai1 is activated by interaction
    with the Ca2+ sensor Stromal Interaction Molecule 1 (STIM1). Owing to the lack
    of structurally resolved Orai1/STIM1 complexes, the impact of their coupling on
    individual Orai1 transmembrane domain (TM) movements is unclear. This study investigates
    STIM1-independent and STIM1-dependent Orai1-TM dynamics using photocrosslinking
    unnatural amino acids (UAAs) at each individual TM position. We primarily identify
    CRAC-channel-like currents directly after UAA incorporation or additional UV-light
    irradiation at TM3 sites that interface with non-pore-lining TMs. Using UAAs combined
    with conventional site-directed mutagenesis and molecular dynamics simulations,
    we discover that pore opening involves a widening of interfaces formed by TM3
    with non-pore-lining TMs. Orai1 mutants with a UAA in TM3 exhibit weaker STIM1-induced
    activation after UV exposure, possibly caused by a restricted widening of non-pore-lining
    TM interfaces. We demonstrate that photocrosslinking UAAs are excellent tools
    for improving our understanding of key determinants and ion channel dynamics modulating
    pore opening.@eng
