Calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase belonging to a proposed calcium-triggered signaling cascade. In vitro phosphorylates CREB1 and SYN1/synapsin I. Phosphorylates and activates CAMK1 (By similarity).
Here we report that activity-dependent translational initiation in cultured rat hippocampal neurons is enhanced by camki-mediated phosphorylation of ser1156 in eukaryotic initiation factor eif4gii (4gii).
