Widely used CaMKII regulatory segment mutations cause tight actinin binding and dendritic spine enlargement in unstimulated neurons

Ashton J. Curtis, Jian Zhu, Dorota Studniarczyk, Timothy W. Church, Mark Farrant, Matthew G. Gold

This study shows that CaMKII T305A/T306A mutations cause tight actinin binding and dendritic spine enlargement in unstimulated neurons, suggesting a structural role for CaMKII in LTP.
