How does the brain maintain memories that long outlast the proteins that encoded them? Francis Crick in 1984 proposed a model consisting of a multimeric protein whose subunits can phosphorylate each other and that naive unactive subunits can exchange into the active multimeric protein. An alternative model is that active holoenzymes can directly transfer activity to unactive holoenzymes, maintaining the integrity of the holoenzymes. Recent biochemical findings indicate that active Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII) can propagate activity to unactive CaMKII. Here, we demonstrate that hippocampal synapses contain a CaMKII memory trace acquired prior to slice culture preparation, which remains intact well after the complete turnover of CaMKII protein (2 weeks). We conclude that the synaptic memory (active CaMKII) can be transferred to naive newly synthesized CaMKII, thus sustaining the memory in the face of protein turnover. Activation of Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent kinase II (CaMKII) plays a critical role in long-term potentiation (LTP), a long accepted cellular model for learning and memory. However, how LTP and memories survive the turnover of synaptic proteins, particularly CaMKII, remains a mystery. Here, we take advantage of the finding that constitutive Ca2+-independent CaMKII activity, acquired prior to slice preparation, provides a lasting memory trace at synapses. In slice culture, this persistent CaMKII activity, in the absence of Ca2+ stimulation, remains stable over a 2-wk period, well beyond the turnover of CaMKII protein. We propose that the nascent CaMKII protein present at 2 wk acquired its activity from preexisting active CaMKII molecules, which transferred their activity to newly synthesized CaMKII molecules and thus maintain the memory in the face of protein turnover.
