| Abstract | The release of glucokinase (hexokinase IV) from digitonin-permeabilized hepatocytes from rat, guinea pig or mouse liver is inhibited by physiological concentrations of Mg2+ (> 0.25 mM). Preincubation of hepatocytes with fructose increases glucokinase release during permeabilization in the presence of Mg2+ but decreases glucokinase release in the absence of Mg2+, suggesting that fructose causes translocation of glucokinase from the Mg(2+)-dependent site. Glucose (25 mM) and sorbitol (1 mM) also induce translocation of glucokinase from the Mg(2+)-dependent site in guinea-pig, as in rat hepatocytes, but glucose is less effective than fructose or sorbitol, and the concentrations of fructose and sorbitol that cause half-maximal activation (A50) are 3-fold and 20-fold higher, respectively, in guinea-pig than in rat hepatocytes (170 microM and 257 microM, compared with 61 microM and 13 microM). Dihydroxyacetone and glycerol have no effect on fructose-induced or sorbitol-induced translocation in guinea-pig hepatocytes, in contrast with the potentiation and inhibition, respectively, by these substrates in rat hepatocytes. Some, but not all, of the differences between rat and guinea-pig hepatocytes could be due to the more reduced cytoplasmic NADH/NAD+ redox state in guinea-pig cells. The activity of low-Km hexokinases accounts for 30% of total hexokinase activity (low-Km hexokinases + glucokinase) in guinea-pig hepatocytes. Of the low-Km hexokinase activity, approx. 30% is released in the presence of Mg2+, 9% shows Mg(2+)-dependent binding and 60% shows Mg(2+)-independent binding. There was no substrate-induced translocation of low-Km hexokinase activity, indicating that translocation is specific for hexokinase IV. |

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.
