| Abstract | The cell adhesion molecule L1 is a potent inducer of neurite outgrowth and it has been implicated in X-linked hydrocephalus and related neurological disorders. To investigate the mechanisms of neurite outgrowth stimulated by L1, attempts were made to identify the neuritogenic sites in L1. Fusion proteins containing different segments of the extracellular region of L1 were prepared and different neuronal cells were assayed on substrate-coated fusion proteins. Interestingly, both immunoglobulin (Ig)-like domains 2 and 6 (Ig2, Ig6) promoted neurite outgrowth from dorsal root ganglion cells, whereas neural retinal cells responded only to Ig2. L1 Ig2 contains a previously identified homophilic binding site, whereas L1 Ig6 contains an Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD) sequence. The neuritogenic activity of Ig6 was abrogated by mutations in the RGD site. The addition of RGD-containing peptides also inhibited the promotion of neurite outgrowth from dorsal root ganglion cells by glutathione S-transferase-Ig6, implicating the involvement of an integrin. The monoclonal antibody LM609 against αvβ3 integrin, but not an anti-β1 antibody, inhibited the neuritogenic effects of Ig6. These data thus provide the first evidence that the RGD motif in L1 Ig6 is capable of promoting neurite outgrowth via interaction with the αvβ3 integrin on neuronal cells. |

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.
