| Abstract | Nucleoside diphosphate kinase (NDP kinase) catalyses the phosphate transfer between nucleoside triphosphates and nucleoside diphosphates. As formation of guanosine triphosphate could be dependent on ATP in neutrophils, the presence of NDP kinase was tested in these phagocytic cells. Both membrane and cytosolic fractions of human neutrophils were found to contain NDP kinase activity. The specific activity measured in the cytosol appeared 10-fold higher than in the membrane and was not modified when the cells were activated with phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate. Interestingly, stimulation with N-formylmethionyl leucylphenylalanine in the presence of cytochalasin B showed an increase in membrane NDP kinase activity together with the translocation of the enzyme from the cytosol to the membrane, suggesting a possible role of NDP kinase in regulating G-proteins as previously reported. In addition, activation with opsonized zymosan induced an increase in cytosolic activity, suggesting different regulation depending on the signal transduction pathway. The neutrophil enzyme consisted of two subunits of 21 kDa (NDPKA) and 18 kDa (NDPKB) again essentially present in the cytosol of the cell. Separation of proteins by two-dimensional PAGE demonstrated that each subunit consisted of at least four isoforms, indicating post translational modifications. A characteristic of this family of enzymes is the stability of the phosphorylated intermediate. In neutrophils, only one acidic isoform of each NDPKA and NDPKB was labelled in the presence of EDTA. In addition, non-denatured complexes were apparent between 91 and 130 kDa, suggesting a hexameric structure as was also proposed for NDP kinases from other eukaryotic cells. These complexes were found to differ in their isoelectric points, indicating the existence of various isoenzymes probably resulting from combination between several isoforms of each subunit. |

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.
