1 SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION Supplementary Figure S1. Efficacy of STIM1 knockdown by electroporation of STIM1 sirnas. (a) Western blot of FDB muscles from 4 mice treated with either STIM1-specific sirna (KD) or negative control sirna (Ctrl). 5 μg of protein was loaded into each lane. (b) Quantification of both upper (STIM1L) and lower (STIM1S) STIM1 bands normalized to a non-specific band as loading control. Comparable knockdown was observed for both STIM1L (80±5%) and STIM1S (62±12%). *p<0.05 by Student s t-test, n=4 mice. Error bars represent s.e.m.

2 Supplementary Figure S2. Repetitive high frequency tetanic stimulation protocol. (a) (Top) Schematic diagram of the repetitive high frequency tetanic stimulation protocol (50 Hz, 500 ms, every 2.5 seconds, 60 tetani) used to stimulate Ca 2+ transients in single FDB fibres. (Bottom) Representative raw mag-fluo-4 fluorescence trace elicited during a single tetanus (500 ms at 50 Hz). The regions used to calculate baseline, peak, and tail integral (hatched area) are indicated. (b) Representative raw mag-fluo-4 fluorescence traces (for tetani 2, 30, 60) from a FDB fibre of a WT mouse elicited during repetitive high frequency tetanic stimulation in the absence (left) and presence of 0.2 mm La 3+ plus 0.5 mm Cd 2+ (right).

(a) (Left) Western blot analysis and quantification (right) of endogenous WT Orai1 and dnorai1 in TA muscles of 3 WT and 3 dnorai1 line 5 transgenic (TG) mice. 5 μg of protein was loaded into each lane and α-actinin was used as a loading control. (b) (Left) Western blot analysis and quantification (right) of endogenous STIM1S and STIM1L from TA muscles from 3 WT and 3 dnorai1 line 5 TG mice. 5 μg of protein was loaded into each lane and GAPDH was used as a loading control. Error bars represent s.e.m.

(a) (Left) Western blot analysis and quantification (right) of SERCA in TA muscles from 3 WT and 3 dnorai1 line 5 transgenic (TG) mice. (b) (Left) Western blot analysis and quantification (right) of RyR1 (upper blot) and CSQ1, (lower blot) in TA muscles from 3 WT and 3 dnorai1 line 5 TG mice. (c) (Left) Western blot analysis and quantification (right) of DHPR 1S in TA muscles from 3 WT and 3 dnorai1 line 5 TG mice. 5 μg of protein was loaded into each lane and GAPDH was used as a loading control. Error bars represent s.e.m.

(b) Average (±s.e.m.) peak specific force during 60 consecutive tetanic stimuli (500 ms, at 50Hz, every 2.5 s) in EDL muscles from WT (filled circles,, n=8 muscles from 4 mice) or line 86 dnorai1 mice (open circles,, n=4 muscles from 2 mice).
