Background According to affinity and function, calcium-binding proteins are separated into two classes: calcium buffers and calcium sensors. Calmodulin is a well-studied calcium sensor with well-established roles in synaptic plasticity. Neuronal calcium-sensor 1 (NCS1) is also a member of the calcium sensor family, however, its role in synaptic plasticity remains under investigation. NCS1 contains multiple EF-hand calcium-binding motifs and an amino-terminal myristoyl group (1). NCS1 has a large number of binding partners. Most of these protein interactions are calcium-dependent (e.g. dopamine D2 receptor), although some are calcium-independent (e.g. IP receptor) (2). In murine dentate gyrus, NCS1 promotes synaptic plasticity and rapid acquisition of spatial memory (3).
