Cyclin-dependent kinase 5 (Cdk5), a cdc2-related kinase expressed
in postmitotic neurons, is activated by association with a
brain-specific activator, p35. It has been suggested that the conversion of p35 to p25 by the protease calpain is involved in neuronal cell death. However, p35 protein is turned over rapidly via
proteasomal degradation in living neurons. In this study we show that
the phosphorylation of p35 by Cdk5 suppresses the cleavage to p25 by
calpain, whereas phosphorylation facilitates the proteasomal degradation of p35. The phosphorylation site in p35 that might be
involved in preventing calpain cleavage was distinct from the phosphorylation site involved in facilitating proteasomal degradation. A phosphorylated form of p35 that was resistant to cleavage by calpain
was more prevalent in the fetal brain, whereas the unphosphorylated form of p35 occurred in the adult brain. These results suggest that the
phosphorylation of p35 serves as a protective mechanism that suppresses
the generation of p25 in developing brains.
