However, how phosphorylation regulates oligomerization remains unclear. To address this, we studied the phosphorylation of KCC2 in the lumbar spinal cord of neonatal rats by subcellular fractionation and phospho-specific western blotting across three paradigms with distinct expression profiles: developmental upregulation, spinal cord injury (SCI)-induced downregulation, and pharmacological rescue with the 5-HT\n                    <jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>\n                    A\/\n                    <jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>\n                    C agonist DOI. KCC2 moved from cytoplasm to membrane during development, exhibiting increased intracellular phosphorylation at serine, threonine, and tyrosine residues and decreased membrane tyrosine phosphorylation as a result of the oligomer formation. SCI caused a shift in this ratio in favor of lower oligomers, higher membrane tyrosine phosphorylation and lower intracellular threonine phosphorylation. DOI partially reversed these deficits, reinforcing oligomerization and adapting phosphorylation to a developmental profile. In sum, this study identifies tyrosine dephosphorylation at the membrane as a reliable correlate of oligomerization and offers a unified quantitative model for the regulation of KCC2 in development, after injury, and upon pharmacological rescue.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3389\/fnmol.2026.1745037","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,2,4]],"date-time":"2026-02-04T05:33:58Z","timestamp":1770183238000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["KCC2 phosphorylation dynamics relate to oligomerization during development and after spinal cord injury"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"19","author":[{"given":"Sylvie","family":"Liabeuf","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Institut de Neurosciences de la Timone, UMR 7289, Aix-Marseille Universit\u00e9 and Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS)","place":["Marseille, France"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Cecile","family":"Brocard","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institut de Neurosciences de la Timone, UMR 7289, Aix-Marseille Universit\u00e9 and Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS)","place":["Marseille, France"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jacques-Olivier","family":"Coq","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institut de Neurosciences de la Timone, UMR 7289, Aix-Marseille Universit\u00e9 and Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS)","place":["Marseille, France"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Laurent","family":"Vinay","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institut de Neurosciences de la Timone, UMR 7289, Aix-Marseille Universit\u00e9 and Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS)","place":["Marseille, France"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Frederic","family":"Brocard","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institut de Neurosciences de la Timone, UMR 7289, Aix-Marseille Universit\u00e9 and Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS)","place":["Marseille, France"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,2,4]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"8746","DOI":"10.1523\/JNEUROSCI.6089-11.2012","article-title":"Hyperpolarizing GABAergic transmission requires the KCC2 C-terminal ISO domain","volume":"32","author":"Acton","year":"2012","journal-title":"J.
