Densin-180 is a transmembrane protein that is tightly associated
with the postsynaptic density in CNS neurons and is postulated to
function as a synaptic adhesion molecule. Here we report the identification of the -subunit of
Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII)
and -actinin-4 as potential binding partners for the
densin-180 intracellular segment. We demonstrate by yeast
two-hybrid and biochemical assays that the intracellular portion of
densin-180, the -subunit of CaMKII (CaMKII ), and -actinin
interact with each other at distinct binding sites and can form a
ternary complex stabilized by multiple interactions. Densin-180 binds
specifically to the association domain of CaMKII and does not bind
with high affinity to holoenzymes of CaMKII that contain -subunit.
The PDZ (PSD-95, DIg, Z0-1) domain of densin contributes to its
binding to -actinin. A distinct domain of -actinin interacts with
the kinase domains of both - and -subunits of CaMKII.
Autophosphorylation of CaMKII increases its affinity for densin-180
from an EC50 of >1 µm to an EC50 of <75-150 nM. In contrast, phosphorylation of densin-180 by CaMKII at
serine-1397 only slightly decreases its affinity for CaMKII. The
specific interaction of densin-180 with holoenzymes of CaMKII containing only -subunit and the increased affinity of CaMKII for
densin-180 after autophosphorylation suggest that densin-180 may be
involved in localization of activated CaMKII synthesized in dendrites.
