Abstract

The Ca2+/calmodulin dependent protein kinase II (CaM kinase II) is thought to play an important part in glucose-stimulated insulin secretion. To determine which of the known subtypes (alpha, beta, gamma, delta) occur in insulin-secreting cells, we amplified all types of CaM kinase II by RT-PCR and found the beta3-, gamma-, delta2- and delta6-subtypes in RINm5F insulinoma cells. None of the other 8 delta-subtypes was present. Antibodies generated against the bacterially expressed association domain of the delta2-subtype recognized the recombinant gamma and delta-subtypes. In INS-1 and RINm5F cells, as well as freshly isolated rat islets, only a 55-kDa protein corresponding in size to the delta2-subtype expressed in NIH3T3 fibroblasts was detected. The delta2-subtype therefore appears to represent the predominant subtype of CaM kinase II present in insulin secreting cells. The enzyme was primarily associated with cytoskeletal structures, and very little was present in the soluble compartment or detergent soluble fraction in INS-1- or RINm5F-cells. An analysis of its subcellular distribution was performed by sucrose and Nycodenz density gradient fractionation of INS-1 cells and detection of CaM kinase II delta by immune blots.
