Calcium dysregulation ("Calcium Hypothesis") is an early and critical event in Alzheimer's and other neurodegenerative diseases. Calcium binds to and regulates the small regulatory protein calmodulin that in turn binds to and regulates several hundred calmodulin binding proteins. Initial and continued research has shown that many calmodulin binding proteins mediate multiple events during the onset and progression of Alzheimer's disease, thus establishing the "Calmodulin Hypothesis". To gain insight into the general applicability of this hypothesis, the involvement of calmodulin in neuroinflammation in Alzheimer's, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, Huntington's disease, Parkinson's disease, frontotemporal dementia, and other dementias was explored. After a literature search for calmodulin binding, 11 different neuroinflammatory proteins (TREM2, CD33, PILRA, CR1, MS4A, CLU, ABCA7, EPHA1, ABCA1, CH3L1/YKL-40 and NLRP3) were scanned for calmodulin binding domains using the Calmodulin Target Database. This analysis revealed the presence of at least one binding domain within which visual scanning demonstrated the presence of valid binding motifs. Coupled with previous research that identified 13 other neuroinflammation linked proteins (BACE1, BIN1, CaMKII, PP2B, PMCA, NOS, NMDAR, AchR, Ado A2AR, Aβ, APOE, SNCA, TMEM175), this work shows that at least 24 critical proteins involved in neuroinflammation are putative or proven calmodulin binding proteins. Many of these proteins are linked to multiple neurodegenerative diseases indicating that calmodulin binding proteins lie at the heart of neuroinflammatory events associated with multiple neurodegenerative diseases. Since many calmodulin-based pharmaceuticals have been successfully used to treat Huntington's and other neurodegenerative diseases, these findings argue for their immediate therapeutic implementation.
