Autophosphorylated CaMKIIα Acts as a Scaffold to Recruit Proteasomes to Dendritic Spines

The molecular mechanisms regulating the ubiquitin proteasome system (UPS) at synapses are poorly understood. We report that CaMKIIα—an abundant postsynaptic protein kinase—mediates the activity-dependent recruitment of proteasomes to dendritic spines in hippocampal neurons. CaMKIIα is biochemically...
