This paper shows that the transitions from slow to fast myosin heavy chain isoforms occur in pre-existing fast myofibers when denervated muscle is electrically stimulated with slow-patterned activity. These results, as well as previous studies analyzing the effects of fast activity on denervated slow muscles [16,17], strongly suggest that most, if not all, of the changes induced in skeletal muscle contractile properties by cross-innervation [14] result from motoneuron activity, not by trophic factors released by the nerve.

Organotypic cultures were used to study how the expression of the NMDA receptor NR2C subunit gene is induced selectively during cerebellar granule cell maturation. Both activity via NMDA receptors and the activation of ErbB tyrosine kinase receptors by neuregulin, a factor that accumulates at the glutamatergic mossy fiber terminals that innervate granule cells, were shown to be necessary to specifically induce NR2C gene expression. These results exemplify how requiring both calcium entry via NMDA receptors and activation of tyrosine kinase receptors can increase signaling specificity.

79. Winder DG, Mansuy IM, Osman M, Moalhem TM, Kandel ER Genetic and pharmacological evidence for a novel, intermediate phase of long-term potentiation suppressed by calcineurin. Cell. 92:1998;25-37. The role of phosphatases in synaptic plasticity was tested in acute hippocampal slices from transgenic mice overexpressing a truncated, constitutively active form of calcineurin. The experiments uncovered a novel intermediate phase of LTP in the CA1 region of the hippocampus, distinct from the early and late phases of LTP, in that it is dependent on the amount of stimulus and on protein kinase A (PKA) activity, but does not require protein synthesis. Calcineurin activity, which is dependent on synaptic stimuli, is proposed to inhibit this intermediate form of LTP, which acts to gate the pathway to long-lasting potentiation. Mice overexpressing calcineurin have diminished LTP induced by multiple high frequency trains. Multiple trains of depolarization (100 Hz) or PKA activity override the constraint by calcineurin and result in the late component of LTP. Additional transgenic lines overexpressing calcineurin under the regulatable tetracycline system demonstrate that the effects of increased phosphatase activity on LTP are reversible.
80. ••] to study the behavioral effects. The calcineurin transgenic mice manifest deficits in the spatial version of the Barnes maze when tested at low trial numbers (1 trial/day) but are not significantly different from wild-type littermates when receiving 4 trials/day; transgenic mice do not show deficits in the cued version of the maze. These learning deficits, at low trial numbers, correlate with the defect in the intermediate phase of LTP.
81. Chin ER, Olson EN, Richardson JA, Yang Q, Humphries C, Shelton JM, Wu H, Zhu W, Bassel-Duby R, Williams RS A calcineurin-dependent transcriptional pathway controls skeletal muscle fiber type. Genes Dev. 12:1998;2499-2509. One mode of calcineurin signaling is through the transcription factor NF-AT, which translocates to the nucleus after dephosphorylation. In this paper, the systemic injection of cyclosporin, a calcineurin antagonist, is shown to increase the proportion of fast-twitch fibers in the slow soleus muscle (14% to 31%). Reporter constructs driven by the slow-specific myoglobin and troponin I promoters are shown to be preferentially transactivated in cells transfected with a constitutively active NF-AT construct. A model for fiber-specific transcription, based on the effects of oscillatory calcium levels on NF-AT regulation in lymphocytes, is proposed. According to the model, low-frequency tonic motor nerve activity would sustain calcium levels sufficiently to activate the calcineurin-NFAT pathway, but high-frequency phasic bursts (characteristic of fast motoneurons) would be insufficient to maintain calcineurin in the active state.

84. Hardingham GE, Chawla S, Johnson CM, Bading H Distinct functions of nuclear and cytoplasmic calcium in the control of gene expression. Nature. 385:1997;260-265. Dextran-coupled BAPTA, a non-diffusible calcium chelator, was microinjected into the nucleus of AtT20 pituitary cells to demonstrate that distinct cis-acting elements in the c-fos promoter are differentially responsive to increases in cytoplasmic and nuclear calcium after activation of L-type voltage-gated channels. Whereas increases in cytoplasmic calcium signal via the c-fos SRE, nuclear calcium mediates its activity through the CRE. Phosphorylation of CREB at serine 133 is shown not to be sufficient to activate CRE-mediated transcription, and nuclear calcium is found to be necessary.
85. •], the authors investigated why nuclear calcium is required for CRE-dependent transcription. Using a series of CREB expression constructs that tether the factor to the nucleus and dissociate its binding from its transcription activation domain, the authors found that cAMP, nuclear CaM kinase IV and nuclear calcium are required for the recruitment and activation of CBP, and for the transcriptional activation through the c-fos CRE. Thus, phosphorylation of CREB at Ser133 functions as a poor activator of CRE-mediated transcription and requires increases of nuclear calcium-sensitive pathways, in addition to the co-activator CBP, for efficient activation of gene expression.

In a continuation of their previous work [86], the authors found an activity-dependent translocation of calmodulin to the nucleus, requiring activation of NMDA receptors and L-type calcium channels, after a brief stimulation of hippocampal neurons. The effects are specific because blocking N- and P/Q channels did not block translocation. A temporal relationship between CREB phosphorylation and calmodulin translocation was also observed.

Intracellular signals from bursts of action potentials propagate differentially through the MAPK and CREB signaling pathways, depending on the temporal pattern of stimulation (i.e. interval between the bursts) rather on than the amplitude of the calcium increase.

105. 2+ oscillations. Science. 279:1998;227-230. A rapid superfusion chamber with CaM kinase II immobilized to a solid polyvinylchloride support was used to demonstrate that the level of kinase activity is differentially regulated by the amplitude and duration of calcium oscillations. At low frequencies (1 Hz), the autonomy of the enzyme resulting from autophosphorylation is lower but increases sharply when stimuli are delivered at higher frequencies (2.5 or 4 Hz). Interestingly, the frequency response of CaM kinase II to calcium and calmodulin is increased when the enzyme is previously exposed to subthreshold levels of activation, indicating that the autonomy of CaM kinase II autophosphorylation retains a 'memory' of previous stimuli.
