| Abstract | Several pathogenic bacteria exploit human carcinoembryonic antigen-related cell adhesion molecules (CEACAMs) for adhesion to and invasion into their host cells. CEACAM isoforms have characteristic expression patterns on epithelial, endothelial, or hematopoietic cells, providing bacteria with distinct sets of receptors on particular tissues. For example, while CEACAM1 and CEACAM6 have a wide tissue distribution, CEACAM3, CEACAM4, and CEACAM8 are uniquely expressed on primary human granulocytes, whereas CEA and CEACAM7 are limited to epithelia. By reconstitution of a CEACAM-deficient cell line with individual CEACAMs, we have analyzed the requirements for CEACAM-mediated internalization of Neisseria gonorrhoeae. Our results point to two mechanistically different uptake pathways triggered by either epithelial CEACAMs (CEACAM1, CEA, and CEACAM6) or the granulocyte-specific CEACAM3. In particular, CEACAM3-mediated uptake critically depends on Src family protein tyrosine kinase (PTK) activity, and CEACAM3 associates with the SH2 domains of several Src PTKs. In contrast, epithelial CEACAMs require the integrity of cholesterol-rich membrane microdomains and are affected by cholesterol depletion, whereas CEACAM3-mediated uptake by transfected cells or the opsonin-independent phagocytosis by human granulocytes is not altered in the presence of cholesterol chelators. These results allow the subdivision of all human CEACAMs known to be utilized as pathogen receptors into functional groups and point to important consequences for bacterial engagement of distinct CEACAM isoforms. |

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.
