T cell development is regulated at two critical checkpoints that involve signaling events through the TCR. These signals are propagated by kinases of the Src and Syk families, which activate several adaptor molecules to trigger Ca2+ release and, in turn, Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII) activation. In this study, we show that a constitutively active form of CaMKII antagonizes TCR signaling and impairs positive selection of thymocytes in mice. Following TCR engagement, active…

The role of CaMK4 in immune responses

The role of CaMK4 in immune responses is summarized and T-cell signaling pathways that control interleukin (IL)-17 production in patients with l upus nephritis and in glomerulonephritis in lupus-prone mice are discussed.

CaMK-II promotes focal adhesion turnover and cell motility by inducing tyrosine dephosphorylation of FAK and paxillin.

Evidence is provided to show that CaMK-II, a Ca2+/calmodulin dependent protein kinase, influences fibroblast adhesion and motility, and provides the first direct evidence that Ca MK-II enables cell motility by transiently and locally stimulating tyrosine dephosphorylation of focal adhesion proteins to promote focalAdhesion turnover.

Modeling CaMKII in cardiac physiology: from molecule to tissue

Systems biology approaches that have been applied to analyze CaMKII signaling from the single molecule to intact cardiac tissue are discussed, with efforts to use computational biology to provide new insight into cardiac disease mechanisms emphasized.

Genomic expression profiling of TNF-α-treated BDC2.5 diabetogenic CD4+ T cells

A detailed picture of transcriptional programs affected by chronic TNF exposure is presented and candidate target genes that may function to mediate TNF-induced T cell unresponsiveness are provided.

The role of the LAMMER kinase Kns1 and the calcium/calmodulin-dependent kinase Cmk2 in the adaptation of Saccharomyces cerevisiae to alkaline pH stress

A novel and crucial role is described for Kns1 and its in vitro substrate Cmk2 in the adaptation of yeast to alkaline stress and valuable insights are provided into their regulation as well as into their functional interplay.

Regulation of T cell growth

This thesis highlights the possible uncoupling of the rate of cellular division and protein synthesis induced by cytokines and defines a unique role for common gamma chain cytokines in regulation of protein synthesis and ultimately the regulation of cellular function.

Lck regulates the tyrosine phosphorylation of the T cell receptor subunits and ZAP-70 in murine thymocytes

Evidence that the Src-family PTK Lck is responsible for regulating the constitutive tyrosine phosphorylation of the TCR zeta subunit in murine thymocytes is provided and data suggest that Lck has a functional role in regulation of TCR signal transduction in thymocyte.

Ca 2-Calmodulin-dependent Protein Kinase II Potentiates Store-operated Ca 2 Current *

It is shown that a rise in Ca i potentiates SOCE, and this potentiation is mediated by Ca -calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII), because inhibition of endogenous Ca MKII activity abrogates Ca i-mediated SOCE potentiation and expression of constitutively active CaMKII potentiate SOCE current independently of Ca i.
