Abstract
Store-operated Ca2+ entry (SOCE) is a ubiquitous Ca2+ signaling modality mediated by Orai Ca2+ channels at the plasma membrane (PM) and the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) Ca2+ sensors STIM1/2. At steady state, Orai1 constitutively cycles between an intracellular compartment and the PM. Orai1 PM residency is modulated by its endocytosis and exocytosis rates. Therefore, Orai1 trafficking represents an important regulatory mechanism to define the levels of Ca2+ influx. Here, we present a protocol using the dually tagged YFP-HA-Orai1 with a cytosolic YFP and extracellular hemagglutinin (HA) tag to quantify Orai1 cycling rates. For measuring Orai1 endocytosis, cells expressing YFP-HA-Orai1 are incubated with mouse anti-HA antibody for various periods of time before being fixed and stained for surface Orai1 with Cy5-labeled anti-mouse IgG. The cells are fixed again, permeabilized, and stained with Cy3-labeled anti-mouse IgG to reveal anti-HA that has been internalized. To quantify Orai1 exocytosis rate, cells are incubated with anti-HA antibody for various incubation periods before being fixed, permeabilized, and then stained with Cy5-labeled anti-mouse IgG. The Cy5/YFP ratio is plotted over time and fitted with a mono-exponential growth curve to determine exocytosis rate. Although the described assays were developed to measure Orai1 trafficking, they are readily adaptable to other PM channels.
Key features
• Detailed protocols to quantify endocytosis and exocytosis rates of Orai1 at the plasma membrane that can be used in various cell lines.
• The endocytosis and exocytosis assays are readily adaptable to study the trafficking of other plasma membrane channels.

Background
Orai1 is the pore-forming subunit of the store-operated Ca2+ entry (SOCE) channel. It mediates Ca2+ influx into the cell following direct coupling with ER Ca2+ sensor STIM1, in response to store depletion following Ca2+ release from stores (Luik et al., 2006; Prakriya et al., 2006; Vig et al., 2006; Yeromin et al., 2006). SOCE is central to various physiological processes, and its dysfunction is associated with serious pathologies in humans (Feske, 2011, Feske et al., 2015; Gruszczynska-Biegala et al., 2021; Yu et al., 2021). A key feature in SOCE regulation is the residence of Orai1 at the plasma membrane (PM) and the amount of reserve Orai1 in intracellular compartments that can potentially contribute to the PM pool following SOCE activation.
The steady-state amount of Orai1 at the PM is determined by the rates of endocytosis and exocytosis. Alterations in these rates modulate Orai1 PM levels. Several protocols have been used to quantify the amount of surface and intracellular Orai1, including imaging of fluorescently tagged Orai1 and biotinylation (Yu et al., 2009; Cox et al., 2013; Yeh et al., 2020; Kim et al., 2021; Wrennall et al., 2022). These methodologies provide crude estimates of Orai1 distribution, but they lack the sensitivity and time resolution to determine Orai1 recycling kinetics at the PM. Herein, we describe protocols to quantify the kinetics of Orai1 trafficking using a dually tagged human Orai1 (YFP-HA-Orai1) with a cytosolic YFP at the N-terminus and a hemagglutinin (HA) tag inserted in the second extracellular loop (Park et al., 2009; Hodeify et al., 2015 and 2018). This dual reporter allows quantification of total Orai1 using YFP fluorescence and concomitantly follows its trafficking using the HA-antibody at the single-cell level. The PM and intracellular pools can be differentially labeled by staining unpermeabilized and permeabilized cells with different secondary antibodies (Cy5- or Cy3-labeled). Combining these approaches with time courses of anti-HA antibody feeding allows one to carefully quantify Orai1 endocytosis and exocytosis rates. The presented protocols can be easily adapted to study recycling dynamics of PM channels in a wide range of mammalian cells.
