Activity-Dependent Synaptogenesis: Regulation by a CaM-Kinase Kinase/CaM-Kinase I/βPIX Signaling Complex

Abstract: Neuronal activity augments maturation of mushroom-shaped spines to form excitatory synapses, thereby strengthening synaptic transmission. We have delineated a Ca(2+)-signaling pathway downstream of the NMDA receptor that stimulates calmodulin-dependent kinase kinase (CaMKK) and CaMKI to promote formation of spines and synapses in hippocampal neurons. CaMKK and CaMKI form a multiprotein signaling complex with the guanine nucleotide exchange factor (GEF) betaPIX and GIT1 that is localized in spines. CaMKI-mediat… Show more

“…Activity-driven increases in intracellular Ca 2ϩ can activate AMPK indirectly by stimulating its upstream regulator CaMKK␤, which is highly abundant in brain (95). Moreover, a CaMKK␤/CaM-kinase I/␤PIX signaling pathway has been implicated in the promotion of spine growth and synaptogenesis in hippocampal neurons (96). Hence, CaMKK␤ may serve as a common regulatory hub that counterbalances the NMDA-induced spine growth promoting effects of the CaMKK␤/CaM-kinase I/␤PIX signaling cascade versus the potential suppressive effects of a CaMKK␤/AMPK/ NHE5 pathway.…”

“…Interestingly, a recent work describes that a Ca 2ϩ /calmodulin (CaM)-dependent protein kinase increases Rac activity through its interaction with the GEF ␤Pak-interacting exchange factor and GIT1 in hippocampal neurons (52). Noteworthily, in platelets, P2X 1 -triggered Ca 2ϩ influx causes CaM-and MLC kinase-dependent increase of MLC phosphorylation, leading to cell shape change (26).…”

“…These include NMDA receptors, AMPA receptors, Trk receptors, GPC receptors, and Src family kinases (9, 14 -16). These receptors and signaling molecules can enhance cAMP formation, an essential second messenger for promoting neuronal growth and dendritic arborization (17)(18)(19)(20)(21), and are found within membrane/lipid rafts in growth cones (6). In the setting of traumatic brain injury and neurodegenerative disorders, interventions that activate signaling pathways to stimulate cAMP production thus have the potential to improve functional recovery (19,22).…”
