| Abstract | To delineate the structural determinants of the insulin receptor (IR) and insulin-like growth factor I receptor (IGFIR) which affect hormone binding specificity we have constructed seven chimeric receptor cDNAs and stably expressed them in Chinese hamster ovary cells. Clonal cell lines expressing high levels of each receptor chimera were analyzed for insulin and insulin-like growth factor I (IGFI) binding activity. Measurements of hormone binding and immunoprecipitation of metabolically labeled receptors showed that all chimeras were properly processed and expressed at the cell surface. The binding data indicate that 56 amino acids of the IR and 52 amino acids of the IGFIR located in corresponding regions of the cysteine-rich domains are the primary determinants of hormone binding specificity. These regions are located between amino acids Asn-230 and Ile-285 on the IR and between His-223 and Met-274 on the IGFIR. In addition, the alpha IR-3 antibody, which competes for IGFI binding, was found to interact with the same 52 amino acids of the IGFIR which determines hormone specificity. Other antibodies which interfere with insulin binding (5D9, MC51, and MA20) interact with epitopes in the COOH-terminal 288 amino acids of the alpha-subunit. We conclude that 56 and 52 amino acids of the cysteine-rich domains of the IR and IGFIR contain the major determinants of hormone binding specificity although other more COOH-terminal regions of both receptors contribute to hormone binding. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
