## Abstract Ca^2+^ influx through L‐type voltage‐gated Ca^2+^ channels (L‐VSCC) is required for K^+^‐induced somatostatin (SS) mRNA. Increase in intracellular Ca^2+^ concentration leads to the activation of cyclic AMP‐responsive element binding protein (CREB), a key regulator of SS gene transcripti

✦ Synopsis
B i k n g h a m , Alabama -
The effects of CAMP-dependent protein kinase (CAMP-PK) and CaZf/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase I1 (CaMKII) phosphorylation on the calpainmediated degradation of microtubule-associated protein 2 (MAP-2) were studied. Both CAMP-PK and CaMKII readily phosphorylated MAP-2. However, CAMP-PK phosphorylated MAP-2 to a significantly greater extent than did CaMKII (4.5 mol 32P/mol MAP-2 and 1.4 mol "P/mol MAP-2, respectively). Phosphorylation of MAP-2 by CAMP-PK, but not by CaMKII, significantly inhibited the calpain-induced hydrolysis of MAP-2. These results demonstrate that the phosphorylation of sites on the MAP-2 molecule accessible to CAMP-PK, but not to CaMKII, result in increased resistance to calpain proteolysis.
