Contact sites between the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and plasma membrane (PM) regulate both non-vesicular lipid transfer as well as Ca2+ signaling with multiple interactions between the two pathways. Here I discuss recent findings that offer exciting insights into the role of store-operated Ca2+ entry (SOCE), Oxysterol-binding protein (OSBP)-related proteins ORP3, Arf5 and the Arf GEF IQSec1 in this crosstalk and how they regulate cell migration and focal adhesion disassembly.
