Calm1:4xCa2+ binds GluN1:GluN2 (Grin1:Grin2) NMDA receptors and displaces Actn2
Based on studies in rat neurons, calmodulin (Calm1), activated by binding to calcium ions (Ca2+), after influx of calcium through the pore of activated GluN1:GluN2 (Grin1:Grin2) NMDA receptors, binds to the GluN1 (Grin1, Nr1) subunit of the NMDA receptors (Ehlers et al. 1995). Binding of calcium-calmodulin complex (Calm1:4xCa2+) competes with binding of alpha-actinin-2 (Actn2) to GluN1, leading to dissociation of NMDA receptors from Actn2 (Wyszynski et al. 1997).
