| Name | CAMK4 |
|---|---|
| Synonyms | CAMK, CAMK-GR, CAMKIV |
| Function | Calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase that operates in the calcium-triggered CaMKK-CaMK4 signaling cascade and regulates, mainly by phosphorylation, the activity of several transcription activators, such as CREB1, MEF2D, JUN and RORA, which play pivotal roles in immune response, inflammation, and memory consolidation. In the thymus, regulates the CD4(+)/CD8(+) double positive thymocytes selection threshold during T-cell ontogeny. In CD4 memory T-cells, is required to link T-cell antigen receptor (TCR) signaling to the production of IL2, IFNG and IL4 (through the regulation of CREB and MEF2). Regulates the differentiation and survival phases of osteoclasts and dendritic cells (DCs). Mediates DCs survival by linking TLR4 and the regulation of temporal expression of BCL2. Phosphorylates the transcription activator CREB1 on 'Ser-133' in hippocampal neuron nuclei and contribute to memory consolidation and long term potentiation (LTP) in the hippocampus. Can activate the MAP kinases MAPK1/ERK2, MAPK8/JNK1 and MAPK14/p38 and stimulate transcription through the phosphorylation of ELK1 and ATF2. Can also phosphorylate in vitro CREBBP, PRM2, MEF2A and STMN1/OP18. |
| Cellular Location | Cytoplasm. Nucleus. Note=Localized in hippocampal neuron nuclei. In spermatids, associated with chromatin and nuclear matrix (By similarity). |
| Tissue Location | Expressed in brain, thymus, CD4 T-cells, testis and epithelial ovarian cancer tissue. |

Background
CaM Kinase IV (also known as CAM kinase-GR and CaMK IV) is a calcium/ calmodulin-dependent protein kinase belonging to a proposed calcium-triggered signaling cascade. This kinase may be involved in the transcriptional regulation of microtubule dynamics. In vitro, CaMK IV phosphorylates CREB1, CREBBP, PRM2, MEF2A, MEF2D and STMN1/OP18. CaMK IV may also be involved in spermatogenesis and may play a role in the consolidation/ retention of hippocampus-dependent long-term memory. CaMK IV must be phosphorylated to be maximally active and is phosphorylated by CAMKK1 or CAMKK2. In addition autophosphorylation of the N-terminus is required for full activation. Autophosphorylation of Ser-336 allows the kinase to switch to a Ca(2+)/calmodulin-independent state. Most likely the kinase is inactivated by the serine/ threonine protein phosphatase 2A. CaMK IV is a monomer that is located within the cytoplasm and nucleus and substantial localization occurs in certain neuronal nuclei. In spermatids CaMK IV is associated with chromatin and the nuclear matrix. CaMK IV is also specifically expressed in epithelial ovarian cancer tissue.
