gene Camk2g, recombinant expression in isozyme CaMKIIgamma-deficient mouse eggs and complementation by 80%, quantitative real-time RT-PCR expression analysis | Mus musculus |
Protein Variants | Comment | Organism |

K43M | site-directed mutagenesis, catalytically inactive form of CaMKIIgamma | Mus musculus |
additional information | generation of isozyme-deficient Camk2gamma-/- eggs, exogenous expression of different cRNAs in the mutant eggs shows that the other multifunctional CaM kinases, CaMKI, and CaMKIV, are not capable of substituting CaMKIIgamma to initiate cell cycle resumption in response to a rise in intracellular Ca2+. Exogenous expression of Camk2g or Camk2d results in activation of nearly 80% of Camk2g-/- MII eggs after stimulation with SrCl2. None of the Camk2g-/- MII eggs expressing Camk1 or Camk4 activate in response to SrCl2 treatment. Expression of a constitutively active form of Camk4 (ca-Camk4), but not Camk1, triggers egg activation | Mus musculus |

Subunits | Comment | Organism |
---|---|---|
More | CaMKII is a 12-subunit holoenzyme comprised of homo- or heteromers of alpha, beta, gamma, and delta subunits encoded by 4 different genes. The CaMK family shares considerable sequence homology and domain structure. They all have an N-terminal catalytic domain and a central auto-inhibitory and Ca2+/CaM-binding domain. CaMKII also has a unique C-terminal association domain involved in multimerization of the holoenzyme | Mus musculus |

malfunction | exogenous expression of different cRNAs in isozyme-deficient Camk2gamma-/- eggs shows that the other multifunctional CaM kinases, CaMKI, and CaMKIV, are not capable of substituting CaMKIIgamma to initiate cell cycle resumption in response to a rise in intracellular Ca2+. Exogenous expression of Camk2g or Camk2d results in activation of nearly 80% of Camk2g-/- MII eggs after stimulation with SrCl2. None of the Camk2g-/- MII eggs expressing Camk1 or Camk4 activate in response to SrCl2 treatment. Expression of catalytically inactive CaMKIIgamma mutant K43M in Camk2g-/- eggs to the same level as wild-type Camk2g does not result in EMI2 degradation. Expression of a constitutively active form of Camk4 (ca-Camk4), but not Camk1, triggers egg activation. Female mice lacking CaMKIIgamma are infertile, due to their inability to exit the metaphase II arrest, but they appear morphologically normal | Mus musculus |
physiological function | CaMKIIgamma, the predominant CaMKII isoform in mouse eggs, controls egg activation by regulating cell cycle resumption. Degradation of EMI2 following its phosphorylation specifically by CaMKII is mechanistically linked to and promotes cell cycle resumption in MII eggs | Mus musculus |
