Autophosphorylation
Effect on CaMKII In Vitro Effect on Targeting to:
Ca2+/CaM Binding Ca2+/CaM Dependent Activity Ca2+/CaM Independent Activity Translocation to PSD # In Vivo # Binding to Specific Proteins
Thr286 Prolonged Multiple
Thr305/306 - N/E
Thr253 - - - Multiple

# The post-synaptic density (PSD) is an assemblage of regulatory and cytoskeletal proteins on the cytoplasmic surface of the post-synaptic plasma membrane that regulates synaptic function. - = no effect; N/E = not examined.
