Abstract excerpt
The Ca(2+)/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII) mediates physiological and pathological functions by its Ca(2+)-independent autonomous activity. Two novel mechanisms for generating CaMKII autonomy include oxidation and S-nitrosylation, the latter requiring both Cys280 and Cys289 amino acid residues in the brain-specific isoform CaMKIIα. Even though the other CaMKII isoforms have a different amino acid...
