Autoregulatory and structural control of CaMKII substrate specificity
… (CaM)-dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII) is a multimeric holoenzyme composed of 8–14 subunits from four closely related isoforms (α, β, γ, δ). CaMKII plays a strategic, multifunctional role in coupling the universal second messenger calcium with diverse cellular processes including …

In vivo visualization of CaMKII activity in ocular dominance plasticity
… Ca2+/calmodulin dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII) is a major component of the postsynaptic density. Activation of CaMKII is necessary and sufficient for LTP induction, is required for OD plasticity, and its expression pattern coincides with the site of rapid plasticity in the supragranular …

CaMKII at a central synapse : α-calcium/calmodium protien kinase II and synaptic plasticity at CA3 Schaffer collateral -- CA1 synapses in the mammalian hippocampus
… calcium/calmodulin protein kinase II (CaMKII) has been shown to block LTP, and a global knockout of the highly expressed a isoform of CaMKII caused an impairment in LTP and hippocampus dependent learning. We examined the role of CaMKII in CA3-CA1 LTP by selectively deleting …

Induction and Maintenance of Synaptic Plasticity
… calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII) and its regulating protein signaling cascade has been hypothesized to durably maintain the synaptic state in form of a bistable switch. Furthermore, it has been shown experimentally that CaMKII and associated proteins such as protein kinase …

Regulation of Myosin V-Cargo Interactions by Phosphorylation
… kinases, Calcium/calmodulin-dependent kinase II (CaMKII) and p21-activated kinase-1 (PAK1), are able to phosphorylate the globular tail of myosin V. Mutation analysis and mass spectrometry were used to determine the actual site of phosphorylation for each kinase. The target of CaMKII …

The role of ionotropic glutamate receptors in chronic central pain after spinal cord injury
… \r\n Calcium-calmodulin protein kinase II (CaMKII) has been shown to be responsible for enhancing ionotropic glutamate receptor mediated activity. CaMKII also has been shown to be a molecular intermediate in both long-term potentiation (LTP) and peripherally induced central sensitization. …

Metabolic Regulation of Cellular Signaling
… of Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII). We recently identified coenzyme A (CoA), derived from the breakdown of acetyl-CoA, as the key metabolic signal that mediates a novel mechanism of calmodulindependent activation of CaMKII. CoA binds directly to the calmodulin (CaM) binding …

The role of Substance P and its signaling pathways in central sensitization
… calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII) and protein kinase C (PKC), to spinal cord pain mechanisms, following NK-1 activation. Spinothalamic tract (STT) cells in lumbar segments of the rat spinal cord were retrogradely labeled with fluorogold (FG). Colocalization of NK-1 receptors …

Activity-dependent mitochondrial signaling drives GLR-1 dynamics and behavioral sensitization in C. elegans
… transcription. Chapter 4 examines the role of CaMKII in ROS signaling using redox resistant rescues in CaMKII mutant backgrounds. Using a catalase mutant to increase ROS, we expose a difference in regulation in the soma and neurite, dependent on relevant regulatory residues and the environment. …

THE PROTECTIVE EFFECTS OF CHRONIC CAFFEINE TREATMENT ON THE COGNITIVE FUNCTION AND SYNAPTIC PLASTICITY IN ACUTE SLEEP DEPRIVATION
… protein kinase II (P-CaMKII) and brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF). In addition, caffeine treatment of sleep-deprived rats increased the levels of P-CaMKII during the expression of E-LTP. The results also showed that chronic caffeine treatment prevented the …
