additional information | each kinase subunit is activated separately by direct binding of Ca2+/CaM, which can also induce intra-holoenzyme inter-subunit Thr286 autophosphorylation. NO induces S-nitrosylation at Cys280/289 which directly generates autonomous activity of CaMKIIalpha, but simultaneous nitrosylation at both sites is required. The kinase is first phosphorylated at Thr286 on ice, phosphorylation is stopped by addition of EDTA, then the kinase is reacted with NO at room temperature. Thr305/306 phosphorylation is induced by chelating Ca2+ in the presence of ATP (after Thr286 phosphorylation or nitrosylation) | Rattus norvegicus |

General Information | Comment | Organism |

malfunction | CaMKIIalpha inhibition protects from NO-induced neuronal cell death. Isozyme mutation of either site, Cys280 or Cys289, abolishes autonomous Ca2+-independent activity of the isozyme | Rattus norvegicus |
metabolism | both signaling by nitric oxide (NO) and by isozyme CaMKIIalpha are implicated in two opposing forms of synaptic plasticity underlying learning and memory, as well as in excitotoxic/ischemic neuronal cell death | Rattus norvegicus |
physiological function | isozyme Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase IIalpha mediates both long-term potentiation and depression of synaptic strength, as well as excitotoxic neuronal cell death during ischemia, regulation of CaMKII by another second messenger system. For CaMKIIalpha, these functions specifically involve also Ca2+-independent autonomous activity, traditionally generated by Thr286 autophosphorylation. NO-induced S-nitrosylation of CaMKIIalpha also directly generates autonomous activity | Rattus norvegicus |
