Figure 3.

A schematic representation of how CaMKII in different molecular environments can respond to stimuli differently. The binding partner with which CaMKII is associated can influence the functional outcomes that occur following a rise in intracellular calcium. Coloured oblong shapes represent generic proteins with which CaMKII (purple disc) binds directly or indirectly. Dark Grey bar represents a membrane. Geometric protrusions from CaMKII, and indents in the binding proteins represent binding sites for CaMKII. The small red disc represents the phosphorylation of a protein. See text for explanation of the sequence of events shown in the Figure.
