Transition from reversible to persistent binding of CaMKII to postsynaptic sites and NR2B.

TL;DR: It is shown that CaMKII reversibly translocates to synaptic sites in response to brief stimuli, but its resident time at the synapse increases after longer stimulation, which reflects temporal patterns of synaptic stimulation and supports an initial reversible and Ca2+/CaM-dependent binding at the substrate-binding site.
Journal ArticleDOI

Dual Mechanism of a Natural CaMKII Inhibitor

TL;DR: The inhibitory mechanism of CaM-KIIN is revealed and a powerful new tool for dissecting CaMKII function is established, as CN21 (derived from CaKIN amino acids 43-63) showed full specificity and potency of CaMK II inhibition.
Journal ArticleDOI

Autonomous CaMKII Mediates Both LTP and LTD Using a Mechanism for Differential Substrate Site Selection

TL;DR: It is found that requirement of autonomous CaMKII in opposing forms of plasticity involves distinct substrate classes that are differentially regulated to enable stimulus-dependent substrate-site preference.
