Cunningham and her postdoc at the time, Christine Kirvan, found that the antibodies literally bind to human neurons, activating an enzyme called calcium / calmodulin - dependent protein (CaM) kinase II.

For starters, a key protein called calmodulin, which helps spindles form, failed to bind to the spindles properly.

They found that, as with calcium channels, increasing calcium concentrations caused calmodulin to bind within the resemblance element of sodium channels and prevent their opening, just as in calcium channels.

Instead, it inhibits proteins related to calmodulin, an important calcium binding protein.

The activated calmodulin can then bind to a specialized control lever inside calcium and sodium channels, which closes the channels.

In the current model, explains David Yue, M.D., Ph.D., a professor of biomedical engineering and neuroscience at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, calmodulin can do little until it binds to calcium, which changes its shape and snaps it into action.

A pollen - specific calmodulin - binding protein, NPG1, interacts with putative pectate lyases.

Nucleotides and phosphorylation bi-directionally modulate Ca2 + / calmodulin - dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII) binding to the N - methyl - D - aspartate (NMDA) receptor subunit GluN2B.
