| Abstract | The C-terminal domain NC1 of mouse collagen XVIII (38 kDa) and the shorter mouse and human endostatins (22 kDa) were prepared in recombinant form from transfected mammalian cells. The NC1 domain aggregated non-covalently into a globular trimer which was partially cleaved by endogenous proteolysis into several monomers (25-32 kDa) related to endostatin. Endostatins were obtained in a highly soluble, monomeric form and showed a single N-terminal sequence which, together with other data, indicated a compact folding. Endostatins and NC1 showed a comparable binding activity for the microfibrillar fibulin-1 and fibulin-2, and for heparin. Domain NC1, however, was a distinctly stronger ligand than endostatin for sulfatides and the basement membrane proteins laminin-1 and perlecan. Immunological assays demonstrated endostatin epitopes on several tissue components (22-38 kDa) and in serum (120-300 ng/ml), the latter representing the smaller variants. The data indicated that the NC1 domain consists of an N-terminal association region (approximately 50 residues), a central protease-sensitive hinge region (approximately 70 residues) and a C-terminal stable endostatin domain (approximately 180 residues). They also demonstrated that proteolytic release of endostatin can occur through several pathways, which may lead to a switch from a matrix-associated to a more soluble endocrine form. |

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.
