| Abstract | The kinesin-like calmodulin binding protein (KCBP) is a new member of the kinesin superfamily that appears to be present only in plants. The KCBP is unique in its ability to interact with calmodulin in a Ca2+-dependent manner. To study the interaction of the KCBP with microtubules, we expressed different regions of the Arabidopsis KCBP and used the purified proteins in cosedimentation assays with microtubules. The motor domain with or without the calmodulin binding domain bound to microtubules. The binding of the motor domain containing the calmodulin binding region to microtubules was inhibited by Ca2+-calmodulin. This Ca2+-calmodulin regulation of motor domain interactions with microtubules was abolished in the presence of antibodies specific to the calmodulin binding region. In addition, the binding of the motor domain lacking the calmodulin binding region to microtubules was not inhibited in the presence of Ca2+-calmodulin, suggesting an essential role for the calmodulin binding region in Ca2+-calmodulin modulation. Results of the cosedimentation assays with the N-terminal tail suggest the presence of a second microtubule binding site on the KCBP. However, the interaction of the N-terminal tail region of the KCBP with microtubules was insensitive to ATP. These data on the interaction of the KCBP with microtubules provide new insights into the functioning of the KCBP in plants. |

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.
