Doublecortin (DCX) is a microtubule-associated protein required for
neuronal migration to the cerebral cortex. DCAMKL1 consists of an N
terminus that is 65% similar to DCX throughout the entire length of
DCX, but also contains an additional 360 amino acid C-terminal domain
encoding a putative Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent
protein kinase. The homology to DCX suggested that DCAMKL1 may
regulate microtubules, as well as mediate a phosphorylation-dependent signal transduction pathway. Here we show that DCAMKL1 is expressed throughout the CNS and PNS in migrating neuronal populations and overlaps in its expression with DCX and microtubules. Purified DCAMKL1
associates with microtubules and stimulates polymerization of purified
tubulin and the formation of aster-like microtubule structures.
Overexpressed DCAMKL1 leads to striking microtubule bundling in cell
lines and cultured primary neural cells. Time-lapse imaging of cells
transfected with a DCAMKL1-green fluorescent protein fusion
protein shows that the microtubules associated with the protein remain
dynamic. DCAMKL1 also encodes a functional kinase capable of
phosphorylating myelin basic protein and itself. However,
elimination of the kinase activity of DCAMKL1 has no detectable
effect on its microtubule polymerization activity. Because DCAMKL1 is
coexpressed with DCX, the two proteins form a potentially mutually
regulatory network linking calcium signaling and microtubule dynamics.
