Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase I (CaMKI) is known to be activated by the upstream kinase, CaMK kinase. Recently, we have found that CaMKI-delta, one of the isoform of CaMKI, plays an important role in the generation of cartilage and fins during zebrafish embryogenesis. In this study, we found a CaMK kinase-independent activation mechanism of CaMKI-delta. In addition, we identified Dlx1 as a candidate for endogenous substrate of CaMKI-delta.
