Abstract:
:To identify the enzymes involved in the induction of N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor-dependent long-term potentiation (LTP) at CA1 synapses of two-week-old rats we have tested various kinase inhibitors. Surprisingly, given the large body of evidence supporting a role for calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII) in LTP, inhibition of this enzyme did not affect the induction of LTP at this age. Similarly inhibition of protein kinase A (PKA) or protein kinase C (PKC) was also without effect. However, inhibition of CaMKII together with inhibition of either PKA or PKC fully blocked the induction of LTP. These experiments reveal, unexpectedly, the existence of two parallel kinase pathways, one involving CaMKII and the other PKA and PKC, either of which can fully support the induction of LTP, at this stage of development.
