Store-operated Ca entry (SOCE) is a major mechanism controlling Ca signaling and Ca-dependent functions and has been implicated in immunity, cancer, and organ development. SOCE-dependent cytosolic Ca signals are affected by mitochondrial Ca transport through several competing mechanisms. However, how these mechanisms interact in shaping Ca dynamics and regulating Ca-dependent functions remains unclear. In a recent issue, Yoast et al. shed light on these questions by defining multiple roles of the mitochondrial Ca uniporter in regulating SOCE, Ca dynamics, transcription, and lymphocyte activation.
