Mutation of a single cysteine in CaMKIIδ protects the heart from ischemia-reperfusion Injury
2026-04-30
Abstract excerpt
CaMKIIδ is the dominant isozyme of Ca 2+ /calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II in the heart. Under certain pathological conditions, it can be oxidized, causing a constitutive activation that can lead to cardiac failure. We recently showed that, in purified CaMKIIδ exposed to oxidative conditions, a disulfide link formed between Cys273 and Cys290 causes this autonomous activation. Cys273 has a low pKa that facil...
