Both signaling by nitric oxide (NO) and by the Ca2+/calmodulin (CaM)-dependent protein kinase II α isoform (CaMKIIα) are implicated in two opposing forms of synaptic plasticity underlying learning and memory, as well as in excitotoxic/ischemic neuronal cell death. For CaMKIIα, these functions specifically involve also Ca2+-independent autonomous activity, traditionally generated by Thr-286 autophosphorylation. Here, we demonstrate that NO-induced S-nitrosylation of CaMKIIα also directly generated autonomous activity, and that CaMKII inhibition protected from NO-induced neuronal cell death. NO induced S-nitrosylation at Cys-280/289, and mutation of either site abolished autonomy, indicating that simultaneous nitrosylation at both sites was required. Additionally, autonomy was generated only when Ca2+/CaM was present during NO exposure. Thus, generation of this form of CaMKIIα autonomy requires simultaneous signaling by NO and Ca2+. Nitrosylation also significantly reduced subsequent CaMKIIα autophosphorylation specifically at Thr-286, but not at Thr-305. A previously described reduction of CaMKII activity by S-nitrosylation at Cys-6 was also observed here, but only after prolonged (>5 min) exposure to NO donors. These results demonstrate a novel regulation of CaMKII by another second messenger system and indicate its involvement in excitotoxic neuronal cell death. 相似文献
Inositol 1,4,5 trisphosphate receptors (ITPRs) are a family of endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ channels essential for the control of intracellular Ca2+ levels in virtually every mammalian cell type. The three isoforms (ITPR1, ITPR2 and ITPR3) are highly homologous in amino acid sequence, but they differ considerably in terms of biophysical properties, subcellular localization, and tissue distribution. Such differences underscore the variety of cellular responses triggered by each isoform and suggest that the expression/activity of specific isoforms might be linked to particular pathophysiological states. Indeed, recent findings demonstrate that changes in expression of ITPR isoforms are associated with a number of human diseases ranging from fatty liver disease to cancer. ITPR3 is emerging as the isoform that is particularly important in the pathogenesis of various human diseases. Here we review the physiological and pathophysiological roles of ITPR3 in various tissues and the mechanisms by which the expression of this isoform is modulated in health and disease. 相似文献
A hallmark feature of Ca2+/calmodulin (CaM)-dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII) regulation is the generation of Ca2+-independent autonomous activity by Thr-286 autophosphorylation. CaMKII autonomy has been regarded a form of molecular memory and is indeed important in neuronal plasticity and learning/memory. Thr-286-phosphorylated CaMKII is thought to be essentially fully active (∼70–100%), implicating that it is no longer regulated and that its dramatically increased Ca2+/CaM affinity is of minor functional importance. However, this study shows that autonomy greater than 15–25% was the exception, not the rule, and required a special mechanism (T-site binding; by the T-substrates AC2 or NR2B). Autonomous activity toward regular R-substrates (including tyrosine hydroxylase and GluR1) was significantly further stimulated by Ca2+/CaM, both in vitro and within cells. Altered Km and Vmax made autonomy also substrate- (and ATP) concentration-dependent, but only over a narrow range, with remarkable stability at physiological concentrations. Such regulation still allows molecular memory of previous Ca2+ signals, but prevents complete uncoupling from subsequent cellular stimulation. 相似文献
The large microtubule-associated/Ca2+-signalling protein p600 (also known as UBR4) is required for hippocampal neuronal survival upon Ca2+ dyshomeostasis induced by glutamate treatment. During this process, p600 prevents aggregation of the Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent kinase IIα (CaMKIIα), a proxy of neuronal death, via direct binding to calmodulin in a microtubuleindependent manner. Using photoconductive stimulation coupled with live imaging of single neurons, we identified a distinct mechanism of prevention of CaMKIIα aggregation by p600. Upon direct depolarization, CaMKIIα translocates to microtubules. In the absence of p600, this translocation is interrupted in favour of a sustained self-aggregation that is prevented by the microtubule-stabilizing drug paclitaxel. Thus, during photoconductive stimulation, p600 prevents the aggregation of CaMKIIα by stabilizing microtubules. The effectiveness of this stabilization for preventing CaMKIIα aggregation during direct depolarization but not during glutamate treatment suggests a model wherein p600 has two modes of action depending on the source of cytosolic Ca2+. 相似文献
Abstract: The ability of various stimuli to convert Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII) into a Ca2+-independent (autonomous) form was examined in cultured embryonic rat hippocampal pyramidal neurons. The most effective stimulation by far was observed when cells were equilibrated in buffer containing low extracellular [Ca2+] ([Ca2+]o) (~50 nM) and then shifted to normal [Ca2+]o (~1.26 mM) by addition of CaCl2 (referred to as “Ca2+ stimulation”). Virtually complete (>90%) conversion of the kinase to the autonomous form occurred within 30–50 s, with a return to baseline within 5 min. By contrast, depolarization of cells with high [K+] or treatment with glutamate or a Ca2+ ionophore caused insignificant increases (<10%) in levels of the autonomous form. The Ca2+-stimulated increase in CaMKII autonomy coincided with a two- to threefold increase in kinase subunit phosphorylation. In the first 40 s of Ca2+ stimulation, 32P incorporation into the immunoprecipitated subunits of CaMKII occurred exclusively on threonine residues, including Thr286Thr287 of the α/β subunits. Longer incubation of cells resulted in a decline of phosphothreonine content, whereas levels of phosphoserine-containing peptides showed a significant increase. The activation of CaMKII by Ca2+ stimulation was accompanied by only a small rise in intracellular [Ca2+]. Inhibitor studies showed that Na+-dependent action potentials and Ca2+ influx through glutamate receptors or voltage-sensitive Ca2+ channels did not contribute to the activation. Moreover, CaMKII was not activated by extracellular addition of other cations, including Mn2+, Mg2+, Co2+, or Gd3+. Although the mechanism of Ca2+ stimulation is presently unclear, it may involve either activation of extracellular calcium receptors or capacitative calcium entry. The dramatic rise in CaMKII autonomy and the Ca2+ selectivity of the response suggest a direct and specific relationship between [Ca2+]o and the state of activation of the kinase in intact neurons. 相似文献
Two glutamate receptors, metabotropic glutamate receptor 5 (mGluR5), and ionotropic NMDA receptors (NMDAR), functionally interact with each other to regulate excitatory synaptic transmission in the mammalian brain. In exploring molecular mechanisms underlying their interactions, we found that Ca2+/calmodulin‐dependent protein kinase IIα (CaMKIIα) may play a central role. The synapse‐enriched CaMKIIα directly binds to the proximal region of intracellular C terminal tails of mGluR5 in vitro. This binding is state‐dependent: inactive CaMKIIα binds to mGluR5 at a high level whereas the active form of the kinase (following Ca2+/calmodulin binding and activation) loses its affinity for the receptor. Ca2+ also promotes calmodulin to bind to mGluR5 at a region overlapping with the CaMKIIα‐binding site, resulting in a competitive inhibition of CaMKIIα binding to mGluR5. In rat striatal neurons, inactive CaMKIIα constitutively binds to mGluR5. Activation of mGluR5 Ca2+‐dependently dissociates CaMKIIα from the receptor and simultaneously promotes CaMKIIα to bind to the adjacent NMDAR GluN2B subunit, which enables CaMKIIα to phosphorylate GluN2B at a CaMKIIα‐sensitive site. Together, the long intracellular C‐terminal tail of mGluR5 seems to serve as a scaffolding domain to recruit and store CaMKIIα within synapses. The mGluR5‐dependent Ca2+ transients differentially regulate CaMKIIα interactions with mGluR5 and GluN2B in striatal neurons, which may contribute to cross‐talk between the two receptors.
Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII), the most abundant kinase at the postsynaptic density (PSD), is expected to be involved in activity-induced regulation of synaptic properties. CaMKII is activated when it binds calmodulin in the presence of Ca2+ and, once autophosphorylated on T-286/7, remains active in the absence of Ca2+ (autonomous form). In the present study we used a quantitative mass spectrometric strategy (iTRAQ) to identify sites on PSD components phosphorylated upon CaMKII activation. Phosphorylation in isolated PSDs was monitored under conditions where CaMKII is: (1) mostly inactive (basal state), (2) active in the presence of Ca2+, and (3) active in the absence of Ca2+. The quantification strategy was validated through confirmation of previously described autophosphorylation characteristics of CaMKII. The effectiveness of phosphorylation of major PSD components by the activated CaMKII in the presence and absence of Ca2+ varied. Most notably, autonomous activity in the absence of Ca2+ was more effective in the phosphorylation of three residues on SynGAP. Several PSD scaffold proteins were phosphorylated upon activation of CaMKII. The strategy adopted allowed the identification, for the first time, of CaMKII-regulated sites on SAPAPs and Shanks, including three conserved serine residues near the C-termini of SAPAP1, SAPAP2, and SAPAP3. Involvement of CaMKII in the phosphorylation of PSD scaffold proteins suggests a role in activity-induced structural re-organization of the PSD. 相似文献
Although the highly conserved Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII) is known to play an essential role in cardiac myocytes, its involvement in the frequency-dependent acceleration of relaxation is still controversial. To investigate the functional significance of CaMKII autophosphorylation and its regulation by protein phosphatases (PPs) in heart, we developed a new mathematical model for the CaMKIIδ isoform. Due to better availability of experimental data, the model was first adjusted to the kinetics of the neuronal CaMKIIα isoform and then converted to a CaMKIIδ model by fitting to kinetic data of the δ isoform. Both models satisfactorily reproduced experimental data of the CaMKII-calmodulin interaction, the autophosphorylation rate, and the frequency dependence of activation. The level of autophosphorylated CaMKII cumulatively increased upon starting the Ca2+ stimulation at 3 Hz in the δ model. Variations in PP concentration remarkably affected the frequency-dependent activation of CaMKIIδ, suggesting that cellular PP activity plays a key role in adjusting CaMKII activation in heart. The inhibitory effect of PP was stronger for CaMKIIα compared to CaMKIIδ. Simulation results revealed a potential involvement of CaMKIIδ autophosphorylation in the frequency-dependent acceleration of relaxation at physiological heart rates and PP concentrations. 相似文献
Cellular oxidative stress, associated with a variety of common cardiac diseases, is well recognized to affect the function of several key proteins involved in Ca2+ signaling and excitation-contraction coupling, which are known to be exquisitely sensitive to reactive oxygen species. These include the Ca2+ release channels of the sarcoplasmic reticulum (ryanodine receptors or RyR2s) and the Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII). Oxidation of RyR2s was found to increase the open probability of the channel, whereas CaMKII can be activated independent of Ca2+ through oxidation. Here, we investigated how oxidative stress affects RyR2 function and SR Ca2+ signaling in situ, by analyzing Ca2+ sparks in permeabilized mouse cardiomyocytes under a broad range of oxidative conditions. The results show that with increasing oxidative stress Ca2+ spark duration is prolonged. In addition, long and very long-lasting (up to hundreds of milliseconds) localized Ca2+ release events started to appear, eventually leading to sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) Ca2+ depletion. These changes of release duration could be prevented by the CaMKII inhibitor KN93 and did not occur in mice lacking the CaMKII-specific S2814 phosphorylation site on RyR2. The appearance of long-lasting Ca2+ release events was paralleled by an increase of RyR2 oxidation, but also by RyR-S2814 phosphorylation, and by CaMKII oxidation. Our results suggest that in a strongly oxidative environment oxidation-dependent activation of CaMKII leads to RyR2 phosphorylation and thereby contributes to the massive prolongation of SR Ca2+ release events. 相似文献
Calcium (Ca2+)-mediated signaling is fueled by two sources for Ca2+: Ca2+ can enter through Ca2+ channels located in the plasma membrane and can also be released from intracellular stores. In the present study the intracellular
Ca2+ release channel/ryanodine receptor (RyR) from zebrafish skeletal muscle was characterized. Two RyR isoforms could be identified
using immunoblotting and single-channel recordings. Biophysical properties as well as the regulation by modulators of RyR,
ryanodine, ruthenium red and caffeine, were measured. Comparison with other RyRs showed that the zebrafish RyRs have features
observed with all RyRs described to date and thus, can serve as a model system in future genetic and physiological studies.
However, some differences in the biophysical properties were observed. The slope conductance for both isoforms was higher
than that of the mammalian RyR type 1 (RyR1) measured with divalent ions. Also, inhibition by millimolar Ca2+ concentrations of the RyR isoform that is inhibited by high Ca2+ concentrations (teleost α RyR isoform) was attenuated when compared to mammalian RyRs. Due to the widespread expression of
RyR these findings have important implications for the interpretation of the role of the RyR in Ca2+ signaling when comparing zebrafish with mammalian physiology, especially when analyzing mutations underlying physiological
changes in zebrafish.

In this work, we isolated the two new crotamine isoforms from the Crotalus durissus cumanensis rattlesnake venom and its “in vitro” neurotoxic, myotoxic and lethality (DL50) intracerebroventricular (i.c.v.) effects were characterized. These proteins were named IV-2 and IV-3 and were purified by
combination of two chromatographic steps on molecular exclusion chromatography on Superdex 75 and reverse phase HPLC (μ-Bondapack
C18). The molecular mass of the crotamine isoforms was 4905.96 Da for isoform IV-2 and 4956.97 Da for IV-3 and, as determined
by mass spectrometry, and both contained six Cys residues. Enzymatic hydrolysis followed by de novo sequencing by tandem mass
spectrometry was used to determine the primary structure of both isoforms. The positions of five sequenced tryptic peptides,
including the N-terminal of the isoform IV-2 and four from isoform IV-3 were deduced by comparison with a homologous protein
from the crotamine family. The isoforms IV-2 and IV-3 had a sequence of amino acids of 42 amino acid residues IV-2: YKRCHIKGGH
CFPKEKLICI PPSSDIGKMD CPWKRKCCKK RS and pI value 9.54 and IV-3: YKQCHKKGGH CFPKEVLICI PPSSDFGKMD CRWKRKCCKK RS with a pI value of 9.54. This protein showed high molecular amino acid sequence identity with other crotamine-like proteins from Crotalus durissus terrificus. These new crotamine isoforms induced potent blockade of neuromuscular transmission in young chicken biventer cervicis preparation
and potent myotoxic effect. In mice, both isoforms induced myonecrosis, upon intramuscular or subcutaneous injections. These
activities were modulated by the presence of positively charged amino acid residues. The LD50 of isoform IV-2 was 0.07 mg/kg and isoform IV-3 was 0.06 mg/kg the animal weight, by i.c.v. route. 相似文献
Oxidative stress remodels Ca2+ signaling in cardiomyocytes, which promotes altered heart function in various heart diseases. Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII) was shown to be activated by oxidation, but whether and how CaMKII links oxidative stress to pathophysiological long-term changes in Ca2+ signaling remain unknown. Here, we present evidence demonstrating the role of CaMKII in transient oxidative stress-induced long-term facilitation (LTF) of L-type Ca2+ current (ICa,L) in rat cardiomyocytes. A 5-min exposure of 1 mM H2O2 induced an increase in ICa,L, and this increase was sustained for ~ 1 h. The CaMKII inhibitor KN-93 fully reversed H2O2-induced LTF of ICa,L, indicating that sustained CaMKII activity underlies this oxidative stress-induced memory. Simultaneous inhibition of oxidation and autophosphorylation of CaMKII prevented the maintenance of LTF, suggesting that both mechanisms contribute to sustained CaMKII activity. We further found that sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ release and mitochondrial ROS generation have critical roles in sustaining CaMKII activity via autophosphorylation- and oxidation-dependent mechanisms. Finally, we show that long-term remodeling of the cardiac action potential is induced by H2O2 via CaMKII. In conclusion, CaMKII and mitochondria confer oxidative stress-induced pathological cellular memory that leads to cardiac arrhythmia. 相似文献
Calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII) is a multifunctional serine/threonine protein kinase that transmits calcium signals in various cellular processes. CaMKII is activated by calcium-bound calmodulin (Ca2+/CaM) through a direct binding mechanism involving a regulatory C-terminal α-helix in CaMKII. The Ca2+/CaM binding triggers transphosphorylation of critical threonine residues proximal to the CaM-binding site leading to the autoactivated state of CaMKII. The demonstration of its critical roles in pathophysiological processes has elevated CaMKII to a key target in the management of numerous diseases. The molecule KN-93 is the most widely used inhibitor for studying the cellular and in vivo functions of CaMKII. It is widely believed that KN-93 binds directly to CaMKII, thus preventing kinase activation by competing with Ca2+/CaM. Herein, we employed surface plasmon resonance, NMR, and isothermal titration calorimetry to characterize this presumed interaction. Our results revealed that KN-93 binds directly to Ca2+/CaM and not to CaMKII. This binding would disrupt the ability of Ca2+/CaM to interact with CaMKII, effectively inhibiting CaMKII activation. Our findings also indicated that KN-93 can specifically compete with a CaMKIIδ-derived peptide for binding to Ca2+/CaM. As indicated by the surface plasmon resonance and isothermal titration calorimetry data, apparently at least two KN-93 molecules can bind to Ca2+/CaM. Our findings provide new insight into how in vitro and in vivo data obtained with KN-93 should be interpreted. They further suggest that other Ca2+/CaM-dependent, non-CaMKII activities should be considered in KN-93–based mechanism-of-action studies and drug discovery efforts. 相似文献
The Ca2+/calmodulin (CaM)-dependent kinase II (CaMKII) is well known for transmitting Ca2+-signals, which leads to a multitude of physiological responses. Its functionality is believed to involve CaMKII holoenzyme dynamics where trans-autophosphorylation of the crucial phosphorylation site, T286 occurs. Phosphorylation of this site does not occur when stimulated exclusively with the arrhythmia associated D130G mutant form of CaM in vitro. Here, we present evidence that the loss-of-CaMKII function correlates with premature phosphorylation of its inhibitory phosphosite T306 in CaMKIIα and T307 in CaMKIIδ as this site was up to 20-fold more phosphorylated in the presence of D130G CaM compared to wildtype CaM. Indeed, changing this phosphosite to a non-phosphorylatable alanine reversed the inhibitory effect of D130G both in vitro and in live cell experiments. In addition, several phosphosites with so far undescribed functions directing the Ca2+-sensitivity of the CaMKII sensor were also affected by the presence of the D130G mutation implicating a role of several additional autophosphosites (besides T286 and T306/T307) so far not known to regulate CaMKII Ca2+ sensitivity. Furthermore, we show that introducing a D130G mutation in the CALM2 gene of the P19CL6 pluripotent mouse embryonic carcinoma cell line using CRISPR/Cas9 decreased the spontaneous beat frequency compared to wildtype cells when differentiated into cardiomyocytes supporting an alteration of cardiomyocyte physiology caused by this point mutation. In conclusion, our observations shed for the first time light on how the D130G CaM mutation interferes with the function of CaMKII and how it affects the beating frequency of cardiomyocyte-like cells. 相似文献
Glucose-stimulated insulin secretion (GSIS) from pancreatic β-cells is caused by Ca2+ entry via voltage-dependent Ca2+ channels. CaMKII is a key mediator and feedback regulator of Ca2+ signaling in many tissues, but its role in β-cells is poorly understood, especially in vivo. Here, we report that mice with conditional inhibition of CaMKII in β-cells show significantly impaired glucose tolerance due to decreased GSIS. Moreover, β-cell CaMKII inhibition dramatically exacerbates glucose intolerance following exposure to a high fat diet. The impairment of islet GSIS by β-cell CaMKII inhibition is not accompanied by changes in either glucose metabolism or the activities of KATP and voltage-gated potassium channels. However, glucose-stimulated Ca2+ entry via voltage-dependent Ca2+ channels is reduced in islet β-cells with CaMKII inhibition, as well as in primary wild-type β-cells treated with a peptide inhibitor of CaMKII. The levels of basal β-cell cytoplasmic Ca2+ and of endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ stores are also decreased by CaMKII inhibition. In addition, CaMKII inhibition suppresses glucose-stimulated action potential firing frequency. These results reveal that CaMKII is a Ca2+ sensor with a key role as a feed-forward stimulator of β-cell Ca2+ signals that enhance GSIS under physiological and pathological conditions. 相似文献
We monitored changes in SERCA isoform specific expression and S-nitrosylation in myofibers of lower limb soleus (SOL) and
vastus lateralis (VL) muscle biopsies before and after 60 days of voluntary long term bed rest (BR) without (BR-CTRL group,
n = 8) and with exercise countermeasure (BR-EX group, n = 8). Before BR, a typical myofiber type-specific distribution of fast and slow SERCA1/2a isoforms was seen. After BR, a
subpopulation (approx. 15%) of slow myofibers in BR-CTRL additionally expressed the fast SERCA1a isoform which was not seen
in BR-EX. After BR, SERCA1a S-nitrosylation patterns analyzed by the biotin-switch assay decreased in disused SOL only but
increased in both muscles following exercise. Differential SERCA1a S-nitrosylation and SERCA1a/2a co-expression in subsets
of slow myofibers should be considered as signs of an altered cytosolic Ca2+ homeostasis following chronic muscle disuse. Exercise preserved myofiber type-specific SERCA1a expression and S-nitrosylation
in VL and SOL in a different way, suggesting muscle-specific responses to the countermeasure protocol applied during bed rest. 相似文献
Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII) is a new promising target for prevention and treatment of cardiac hypertrophy and heart failure. There are three δ isoforms of CaMKII in the heart and previous studies focused primarily on δB and δC types. Here we report the δA isoform of CaMKII is also critically involved in cardiac hypertrophy. We found that δA was significantly upregulated in pathological cardiac hypertrophy in both neonatal and adult models. Upregulation of δA was accompanied by cell enlargement, sarcomere reorganization and reactivation of various hypertrophic cardiac genes including atrial natriuretic factor (ANF) and β-myocin heavy chain (β-MHC). Studies further indicated the pathological changes were largely blunted by silencing the δA gene and an underlying mechanism indicated selective interference with the HDAC4-MEF2 signaling pathway. These results provide new evidence for selective interfering cardiac hypertrophy and heart failure when CaMKII is considered as a therapeutic target. 相似文献
Previous studies suggested that activated c-Src promote the tyrosine phosphorylation of NMDA receptor subunit NR2A, and thus aggravate the injury induced by transient cerebral ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) in rat hippocampus CA1 region. In this study, we examined the effect of nitric oxide (NO) on the activation of c-Src and the tyrosine phosphorylation of NMDA receptor NR2A subunit. The results show that S-nitrosylation and the phosphorylation of c-Src were induced after cerebral I/R in rats, and administration of nNOS inhibitor 7-NI, nNOS antisense oligonucleotides and exogenous NO donor sodium nitroprusside diminished the increased S-nitrosylation and phosphorylation of c-Src during cerebral I/R. The cysteine residues of c-Src modified by S-nitrosylation are Cys489, Cys498, and Cys500. On the other hand, NMDAR antagonist MK-801 could attenuate the S-nitrosylation and activation of c-Src. Taken together, the S-nitrosylation of c-Src is provoked by NO derived from endogenous nNOS, which is activated by Ca2+ influx from NMDA receptors, and promotes the auto-phosphorylation at tyrosines and further phosphorylates NR2A. The molecular mechanism we outlined here is a novel postsynaptic NMDAR-nNOS/c-Src-mediated signaling amplification, the ‘NMDAR-nNOS → NO → SNO-c-Src → p-c-Src → NMDAR-nNOS’ cycle, which presents the possibility as a potential therapeutic target for stroke treatment. 相似文献
Muscarinic acetylcholine receptors (mAChRs) are widely expressed in the mammalian brain and are essential for neuronal functions. These receptors are believed to be actively regulated by intracellular signals, although the underlying mechanisms are largely unknown. In this study, we show that Ca2+/calmodulin‐dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII) binds directly and selectively to one of five mAChR subtypes, M4 receptors (M4Rs), at their C‐terminal regions of second intracellular loops. This binding relies on Ca2+ activation of the kinase and leads to the phosphorylation of M4Rs at a specific threonine site (Thr145). Complementary in vivo studies in rat striatal neurons enriched with M4Rs confirm that rising Ca2+ recruits CaMKIIα to M4Rs to potentiate receptor signalling, which controls behavioural sensitivity to dopamine stimulation in an activity‐dependent manner. Our data identify a new model of protein–protein interactions. In a Ca2+‐sensitive manner, CaMKIIα regulates M4R efficacy and controls the acetylcholine–dopamine balance in the basal ganglia and also the dynamics of movement. 相似文献
