Calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II: an unforgettable kinase.
The search for “memory molecules” and why CaMKII is an appealing candidate Since the time neuroscientists first recognized that biochemical events inside neurons could influence the function of the brain, there have been people looking for “memory molecules.” This elusive ion, small molecule, protein, or nucleic acid would be the keystone on which memory was built; understanding the memory mole...
متن کاملCalcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II.
There is a great deal known about the in vitro properties of CaM kinase II, both in terms of its substrate specificity and its regulation by calmodulin and autophosphorylation. Much of this characterization is based on experiments performed with the rat brain isozyme of CaM kinase II, although in the aspects examined to date isozymes of the kinase from other tissues appear to behave in a broadl...
متن کاملTHE EFFECT OF THEOPHYLLINE ON THE KINETICS OF cAMP-DEPENDENT PROTEIN KINASE CATALYTIC SUBUNIT, cAMP, PROTEIN KINASE INHIBITOR AND THEIR RELATIONSHIP IN LUNG TISSUE
We have investigated the effect of theophylline on the kinetics of the catalytic subunit of protein kinase and related factors in lung tissue. The results show that the point of highest concentration of the C subunit of protein kinase which is active in casein phosphorylation is at 3h of incubation time, but in the presence of 100 Ilg/ InL and 10µg/mL theophylline, this is shifted to I.S an...
متن کاملActivation of calcium/calmodulin-dependent kinase II following bovine rotavirus enterotoxin NSP4 expression
Objective(s): The rotavirus nonstructural protein 4 (NSP4) is responsible for the increase in cytoplasmic calcium concentration through a phospholipase C-dependent and phospholipase C-independent pathways in infected cells. It is shown that increasing of intracellular calcium concentration in rotavirus infected cells is associated with the activation of some members of protein kinases family su...
متن کاملBidirectional control of phospholipase A2 activity by Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II, cAMP-dependent protein kinase, and casein kinase II.
In preparations of synaptic terminals (synaptosomes) isolated from rat brain, the activity of phospholipase A2 (PLA2), a phospholipid hydrolase that serves a central function in signal transduction, was inhibited in a Ca(2+)-dependent manner by incubation with 60 mM K+ or with the Ca(2+)-selective ionophore ionomycin. Reversal by alkaline phosphatase treatment suggested that this inhibitory eff...
