Subnuclear dynamics of the association of Jacob with LaminB1 and CREB are regulated by nuclear [Ca.2+]n transients. Synaptic NMDAR activity leads to an active dynein-dependent transport of Jacob from activated synapses to the nucleus (1; [31, 37]). In the nucleus, Jacob is present in the nucleoplasm and in association with the nuclear lamina via a direct interaction with LaminB1 [38]. Association of Jacob with LaminB1 captures the history of previous NMDAR activity in the sense that the number of docked molecules reflects previous activation of GluN2B-containing NMDAR. (2) Blocking of NMDAR activity with APV and ifenprodil reduced the binding under basal glutamatergic transmission [38]. Concomitantly, an increase in nuclear calcium transients results in liberation of Jacob from the complex with LaminB1 (3, 4) which is followed by binding to the transcription factor CREB (3, 4)
