Here the hypothesis that skeletal muscle Ca2+-calmodulin dependent kinase II (CaMKII) expression and signalling would be modified by endurance training was tested. Eight healthy, young men completed 3 wk of one-legged endurance exercise training with muscle samples taken from both legs before training and 15h after the last exercise bout. Along with an ~40% increase in mitochondrial F1-ATP synthase expression, there was an ~1-fold increase in maximal CaMKII activity and CaMKII kinase isoform expression after training in the active leg only. Autonomous CaMKII activity and CaMKII autophosphorylation were increased to a similar extent. However, there was no change in
-CaMKII anchoring protein expression with training. Nor was there any change in expression or Thr17 phosphorylation of the CaMKII substrate phospholamban with training. However, another CaMKII substrate serum response factor (SRF), had an ~60% higher phosphorylation at Ser103 after training, with no change in SRF expression. There were positive correlations between the increases in CaMKII expression and SRF phosphorylation as well as F1ATPase expression with training. After training, there was an increase in cyclic-AMP response element binding protein phosphorylation at Ser133, but not expression, in muscle of both legs. Taken together, skeletal muscle CaMKII kinase isoform expression and SRF phosphorylation is higher with endurance-type exercise training, adaptations that are restricted to active muscle. This may contribute to greater Ca2+ mediated regulation during exercise and the altered muscle phenotype with training.
