Ca2+-stimulated protein kinase II (CaMKII) is critically involved in the regulation of synaptic function and is implicated in the neuropathology associated with ischemia and status epilepticus (SE). The activity and localization of CaMKII is regulated by multi-site phosphorylation. In the present study we investigated the effects of global ischemia followed by reperfusion and of SE on the phosphorylation of CaMKII on T253 in rat forebrains and compared this to the phosphorylation of T286. Both ischemia and SE resulted in marked increases in the phosphorylation of T253, and this was particularly marked in the postsynaptic density (PSD). Phosphorylation of T286 decreased rapidly towards basal levels following ischemia whereas phosphorylation of T253 remained elevated for between 1 and 6 h before decreasing to control values. Following SE, phosphorylation of T253 remained elevated for between 1 and 3 h before decreasing to control levels. In contrast, phosphorylation of T286 remained elevated for at least 24 h following the termination of SE. Total CaMKII associated with PSDs transiently increased 10 min following ischemia, but only several hours following SE. The results demonstrate that phoshorylation of CaMKII on T253 is enhanced following both ischemia/reperfusion and SE and indicate that the phosphorylation of T253 and T286 are differentially regulated.

Ischaemia/excitotoxicity produces persistent activation of CaMKII (Ca-calmodulin stimulated protein kinase II) that initiates cell death. This study investigated the involvement of CaMKII phosphorylation at T286 and T253 in producing this persistent activation. In T286A-αCaMKII transgenic mice that lack the ability to phosphorylate αCaMKII at T286, transient occlusion of the middle cerebral artery for 90 min resulted in no significant difference in infarct size compared to normal littermate controls.

Calcium/calmodulin-stimulated protein kinase II (CaMKII) is a multi-functional serine/threonine protein kinase that controls a range of cellular functions, including proliferation. The biological properties of CaMKII are regulated by multi-site phosphorylation and targeting via interactions with specific proteins. To investigate the role specific CaMKII phosphorylation sites play in controlling cell proliferation and cell cycle progression, we examined phosphorylation of CaMKII at two sites (T253 and T286) at various stages of the cell cycle, and also examined the effects of overexpression of wild-type (WT), T286D phosphomimic, T253D phosphomimic and T253V phosphonull forms of CaMKIIα in MDA-MB-231 breast cancer and SHSY5Y neuroblastoma cells on cellular proliferation and cell cycle progression.
