Investigation of protein substrates of Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II translocated to the postsynaptic density

Abstract

To elucidate the physiological significance of the translocation of Ca(2+)/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaM kinase II), we investigated substrates of CaM kinase II in the postsynaptic density (PSD). PSD proteins were phosphorylated by CaM kinase II of its PSD complex, and separated by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis. More than 28 proteins were phosphorylated under experimental conditions. Proteins corresponding to CaM kinase II substrates were excised from the gels, eluted electrophoretically, and then sequenced. Several substrates were identified, including PSD95, SAP90, alpha-internexin, neurofilament L chain, cAMP phosphodiesterase, and alpha- and beta-tubulin. Some substrates were also identified by immunoblotting, including N-methyl-D-aspartic acid (NMDA) receptor 2B subunit, 1-alpha-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazole propionate (AMPA) receptor 1 (GluR1), neurofilament H chain and dynamin. PSD95, SAP90, dynamin, and alpha-internexin were demonstrated for the first time to be substrates of CaM kinase II. NMDA receptor 2B subunit and GluR1 existed as major substrates in the PSD. Moreover, translocation of CaM kinase II was inhibited by phosphorylation of PSD proteins. These results suggest that CaM kinase II plays important roles in the regulation of synaptic functions through phosphorylation of PSD proteins.

  • Although it is well established that CaMKII phosphorylates numerous synaptic proteins, an essential role for CaMKII phosphorylation of many of these targets largely remains elusive.

    “It should be pointed out that, although it is well established that CaMKII phosphorylates numerous synaptic proteins (66, 434–437), as reviewed here, despite intensive research an essential role for CaMKII phosphorylation of many of these targets largely remains elusive.”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
