The potent natural toxins microcystin, nodularin, and okadaic acid act rapidly to induce apoptotie cell death. Here we show that the apoptosis correlates with protein phosphorylation events and can be blocked by protein kinase inhibitors directed against the multifunctional Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase 11 (CaMKII). The inhibitors used comprised a battery of cell-permeable protein kinase antagonists and CaMKII-directed peptide inhibitors introduced by microinjection or enforced expression. Furthermore, apoptosis could be induced by enforced expression of active forms of CaMKII but not with inactive CaMKII. It is concluded that the apoptogenic toxins, presumably through their known ability to inhibit serine/threonine protein phosphatases, can cause CaMKII-dependent phosphorylation events leading to cell death.
