We investigated the relationship between Arc (activity-regulated cytoskeleton-associated protein) and Ca(2+)/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaM kinase II). Arc and CaM kinase II were concentrated in the postsynaptic density. These proteins were accumulated after electroconvulsive treatment. Arc increased about 2.5-fold within 30 min and was maintained at this level for 8h after the stimulation. CaM kinase II also increased within 30 min and remained at this level for at least 24h. The interaction of Arc with CaM kinase II was demonstrated using GST-Arc fusion protein, and confirmed in neuroblastoma cells by immunoprecipitation. We examined the function of Arc by introducing Arc cDNA into neuroblastoma cells expressing CaM kinase II. The cells expressing both Arc and CaM kinase II had longer neurites than those expressing CaM kinase II alone. Arc itself did not promote neurite outgrowth. The growth of neurites by Arc was completely blocked by treatment with KN62, an inhibitor of CaM kinases. These results indicated that Arc potentiated the action of CaM kinase II for neurite extension.
