Cross Talk between ERK and PKA Is Required for Ca2+ Stimulation of CREB-Dependent Transcription and ERK Nuclear Translocation

TL;DR: It is reported that extracellular signal-related protein kinase (ERK) signaling is obligatory for Ca2+-stimulated transcription in PC12 cells and hippocampal neurons and suggests that the activation of CREB by ERK plays a critical role in the formation of long lasting neuronal plasticity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mechanism of calcium gating in small-conductance calcium-activated potassium channels

TL;DR: The mechanism of calcium gating is studied and it is found that small-conductance calcium-activated potassium channels are not gated by calcium binding directly to the channel α-subunits, instead, the functional SK channels are heteromeric complexes with calmodulin, which is constitutively associated with the α- subunits in a calcium-independent manner.
Journal ArticleDOI

An activity-regulated microRNA controls dendritic plasticity by down-regulating p250GAP

TL;DR: It is shown that microRNA 132 (miR132) is an activity-dependent rapid response gene regulated by the cAMP response element-binding (CREB) protein pathway and proposed that the miR132–p250GAP pathway plays a key role in activity- dependent structural and functional plasticity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Calmodulin-Kinases: Modulators of Neuronal Development and Plasticity

TL;DR: Key neuronal functions of the CaMK cascade in signal transduction, gene transcription, synaptic development and plasticity, and behavior are summarized and the technical challenges of mapping cellular protein kinase signaling pathways are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Activity-dependent dendritic arborization mediated by CaM-kinase I activation and enhanced CREB-dependent transcription of Wnt-2.

TL;DR: An NMDA receptor-mediated, Ca2+-dependent signaling pathway that couples neuronal activity to dendritic arborization through enhanced Wnt synthesis and secretion is identified and contributes to dynamic remodeling of the dendrite architecture in response to neuronal activity during development.
