Function

Calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase that functions autonomously after Ca(2+)/calmodulin-binding and autophosphorylation, and is involved in dendritic spine and synapse formation, neuronal plasticity and regulation of sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+) transport in skeletal muscle (PubMed:16690701). In neurons, plays an essential structural role in the reorganization of the actin cytoskeleton during plasticity by binding and bundling actin filaments in a kinase-independent manner. This structural function is required for correct targeting of CaMK2A, which acts downstream of NMDAR to promote dendritic spine and synapse formation and maintain synaptic plasticity which enables long-term potentiation (LTP) and hippocampus-dependent learning. In developing hippocampal neurons, promotes arborization of the dendritic tree and in mature neurons, promotes dendritic remodeling. Also regulates the migration of developing neurons (PubMed:29100089). Participates in the modulation of skeletal muscle function in response to exercise (PubMed:16690701). In slow-twitch muscles, is involved in regulation of sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) Ca(2+) transport and in fast-twitch muscle participates in the control of Ca(2+) release from the SR through phosphorylation of triadin, a ryanodine receptor-coupling factor, and phospholamban (PLN/PLB), an endogenous inhibitor of SERCA2A/ATP2A2. In response to interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) stimulation, catalyzes phosphorylation of STAT1, stimulating the JAK-STAT signaling pathway (By similarity). Phosphorylates reticulophagy regulator RETREG1 at 'Ser-151' under endoplasmic reticulum stress conditions which enhances RETREG1 oligomerization and its membrane scission and reticulophagy activity (PubMed:31930741).

Activity summary

CaMKII also known as calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II is an enzyme functioning critically in cellular signaling. It consists of multiple isoforms including alpha beta gamma and delta with the delta isoform Delta 1829 frequently highlighted for its specific roles. The molecular weight of CaMKII is approximately 50 to 60 kDa varying slightly between isoforms. CaMKII is widely expressed in the brain but is also present in the heart skeletal muscle and other tissues. Its structure includes a catalytic domain regulatory segment and association domain which allows auto-regulation and interaction with other molecules.

Biological function summary

CaMKII plays a vital role in cellular processes such as learning memory and muscle contraction. It can form a complex structure involving multiple subunits which allows for its unique ability to signal in response to calcium influx and calmodulin binding. This causes autophosphorylation of CaMKII allowing it to remain active even when calcium levels diminish. This property makes CaMKII essential for long-term potentiation (LTP) in neuron synapses influencing cognitive functions deeply.

Pathways

CaMKII is an important component of both the calcium signaling and synaptic plasticity pathways. In the calcium signaling pathway CaMKII interacts with calmodulin and other kinases to modulate calcium entry and signaling. In synaptic plasticity CaMKII works closely with proteins like NMDA receptors which regulate synaptic strength and modulation essential for encoding learning and memory. These interactions highlight its significance as a mediator between signaling cascades and cellular responses.

Associated diseases and disorders

Abnormal regulation or expression of CaMKII links to Alzheimer's disease and cardiac arrhythmias. In Alzheimer's the dysregulation of CaMKII affects synaptic integrity and memory formation involving interaction with beta-amyloid plaques. In cardiac arrhythmias CaMKII dysfunction leads to improper cardiac muscle contractions often linked to the protein phospholamban. These associations highlight the clinical relevance of CaMKII in addressing and understanding mechanisms underpinning these diseases.

    Overlay histogram showing U87MG cells stained with ab225178 (red line). The cells were fixed with 80% methanol (5 min) and then permeabilized with 0.1% PBS-Triton X-100 for 15 min. The cells were then incubated in 1x PBS / 10% normal goat serum to block non-specific protein-protein interactions followed by the antibody (ab225178, 1/500 dilution) for 30 min at 22°C.

    Isotype control antibody (black line) was Rabbit IgG (monoclonal) Allophycocyanin used at the same concentration and conditions as the primary antibody. Unlabelled sample (blue line) was also used as a control.

    Acquisition of >5,000 events were collected using a 40 mW Red laser (640nm) and 670/14 bandpass filter.

    This antibody gave a positive signal in U87MG cells fixed with 4% formaldehyde (10 min)/permeabilized with 0.1% PBS-Triton X-100 for 15 min used under the same conditions.
