In both the HTML and PDF versions of this letter, statements regarding the suppression of SOCE during mitosis have been altered as follows:

on page 1465 (abstract, line 2), the following text has replaced the previous text,

“Store-operated Ca2+ entry (SOCE) and Ca2+ release-activated Ca2+ currents (Icrac) are strongly suppressed during cell division, the only known physiological situation in which Ca2+ store depletion is uncoupled from the activation of Ca2+ influx.”

On page 1465 (right column, second paragraph, line 5), the following text has replaced the previous text,

“The only known physiological situation in which SOCE seems to be strongly negatively regulated is during cell division16–19, 37.”

An additional citation has been added to the reference list:

In the Methods, references 38, 39 and 40 have been changed from 37, 38 and 39, respectively.
