Abstract excerpt
The ability of calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII) to become calcium independent after autophosphorylation makes this enzyme a temporal marker of neuronal activity. Here we show that the calcium-independent form of CaMKII has unique effects on larval viability, locomotion, and neuronal excitability in Drosophila. Expression of constitutively active T287D, but not calcium-dependent T287A,...
