The role of calcium and CaMKII in sleep

Frontiers in Systems Neuroscience, 2022
Sleep is an evolutionarily conserved phenotype shared by most of the animals on the planet. Prolonged wakefulness will result in increased sleep need or sleep pressure. However, its mechanisms remain elusive. Recent findings indicate that Ca2+ signaling,

Ca2+/CaM binding to CaMKI promotes IMA-3 importin binding and nuclear translocation in sensory neurons to control behavioral adaptation

eLife, 2021
Sensory and behavioral plasticity are essential for animals to thrive in changing environments. As key effectors of intracellular calcium signaling, Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinases (CaMKs) can bridge neural activation with the many regulatory ...

Calcium/Calmodulin-Dependent Protein Kinase II: An Unforgettable Kinase [PDF]

The Journal of Neuroscience, 2004
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;

Comparative transcriptome analysis reveals resistant and susceptible genes in tobacco cultivars in response to infection by Phytophthora nicotianae

Scientific Reports, 2021
Phytophthora nicotianae is highly pathogenic to Solanaceous crops and is a major problem in tobacco production. The tobacco cultivar Beihart1000-1 (BH) is resistant, whereas the Xiaohuangjin 1025 (XHJ) cultivar is susceptible to infection.

Targeting of calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II [PDF]

Biochemical Journal, 2004
Calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII) has diverse roles in virtually all cell types and it is regulated by a plethora of mechanisms. Local changes in Ca2+ concentration drive calmodulin binding and CaMKII activation. Activity is controlled further by autophosphorylation at multiple sites, which can generate an autonomously active form
