We previously showed that cultured mouse cerebellar granule cells during incubation in glutamine-replete medium respond to 45 mM [K(+)](e) after 20 and 60 min incubation with extracellular-signal regulated kinase 1 and 2 (ERK(1/2)) phosphorylation which is mainly, but probably not exclusively, secondary to glutamate release and transactivation of epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptors. In the present study the response after 20 min was shown to be abolished by protein kinase C (PKC) inhibition, whereas that at 60 min was PKC-independent. Addition of 50 microM glutamate to the cells caused ERK(1/2) phosphorylation already after 5 min most of which was sensitive to PKC inhibition although a minor part was PKC inhibition-resistant. Exposure to [K(+)](e) during incubation in glutamine-depleted medium caused no stimulated release of glutamate but a transactivation-independent ERK(1/2) phosphorylation at 20 and 60 min. The response at 20 min was insensitive to PKC inhibition. The potential importance of these complex responses for synaptic plasticity is discussed.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D010766 Phosphorylation The introduction of a phosphoryl group into a compound through the formation of an ester bond between the compound and a phosphorus moiety. Phosphorylations
D011493 Protein Kinase C An serine-threonine protein kinase that requires the presence of physiological concentrations of CALCIUM and membrane PHOSPHOLIPIDS. The additional presence of DIACYLGLYCEROLS markedly increases its sensitivity to both calcium and phospholipids. The sensitivity of the enzyme can also be increased by PHORBOL ESTERS and it is believed that protein kinase C is the receptor protein of tumor-promoting phorbol esters.

D002531 Cerebellum The part of brain that lies behind the BRAIN STEM in the posterior base of skull (CRANIAL FOSSA, POSTERIOR). It is also known as the "little brain" with convolutions similar to those of CEREBRAL CORTEX, inner white matter, and deep cerebellar nuclei. Its function is to coordinate voluntary movements, maintain balance, and learn motor skills. Cerebella,Corpus Cerebelli,Parencephalon,Cerebellums,Parencephalons
