Low-voltage-activated (LVA) Ca2+ channels are widely distributed throughout the CNS and are important determinants of neuronal excitability, initiating dendritic and somatic Ca2+ spikes that trigger and shape the pattern of action potential firing. Here, we define a molecular mechanism underlying the dynamic regulation of 1H channels (Cav3.2), by Ca2+/CaM-dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII). We show that channel regulation is selective for the LVA 1H Ca2+ channel subtype, depends on determinants in the 1H II-III intracellular loop, and requires the phosphorylation of a serine residue absent from unregulated 1G (Cav3.1) channels. These studies identify the 1H channel as a new substrate for CaMKII and provide the first molecular mechanism for the direct regulation of T-type Ca2+ channels by a protein kinase. Our data suggest a novel mechanism for modulating the integrative properties of neurons.
