| Abstract | We report the complete amino acid sequence of HSP-1, a major protein isolated from stallion seminal plasma or acid extracts of ejaculated spermatozoa. The protein consists of 121 amino acids organized in two types of homologous repeats arranged in the pattern AA'BB'. Each of the 13-15-residue A-type repeats contains two O-linked oligosaccharide chains. The B-type repeats span 44-47 amino acids each, are not glycosylated, and have the consensus pattern of the gelatin-binding fibronectin type-II module. This domain also occurs in the major bovine seminal plasma heparin-binding proteins PDC-109 (BSP-A1/A2) and BSP-A3. However, unlike the bovine proteins which bind quantitatively to a heparin-Sepharose column, stallion HSP-1 was recovered in both the flow-through and the heparin-bound fractions. Structural analysis showed that the two HSP-1 forms contain identical polypeptide chains which are differently glycosylated. Moreover, size-exclusion chromatography showed that heparin-bound HSP-1 associates with HSP-2, another major seminal plasma protein, into a 90 kDa product, whereas the non-heparin-bound glycoform of HSP-1 is eluted as a monomeric (14 kDa) protein. This suggests that glycosylation may have an indirect effect on the heparin-binding ability of HSP-1 through modulation of its aggregation state. On the other hand, both glycoforms of HSP-1 displayed gelatin-binding activity, indicating that the molecular determinants for binding heparin and gelatin are different. |

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.
