| Abstract | Factor VIII functions in the intrinsic pathway of coagulation as the cofactor for factor IXa proteolytic activation of factor X. Proteolytic cleavage is required for activation and may be responsible for inactivation of cofactor activity. To identify which of the multiple cleavages are required for activation and inactivation of factor VIII, site-directed DNA-mediated mutagenesis of the factor VIII cDNA was performed and the altered forms of factor VIII were expressed in COS-1 monkey cells and characterized. Conversion of arginine residues to isoleucine residues at the aminoterminal side of the cleavage sites at positions 740, 1648, and 1721 resulted in cleavage resistance at the modified site with no alteration in the in vitro procoagulant activity and the susceptibility to thrombin activation. Similar modification of the thrombin cleavage sites at either position 372 or position 1689 resulted in molecules with residual factor VIII activity but resistant to thrombin cleavage at the modified site and not susceptible to thrombin activation. Modification of the arginine to either an isoleucine or a lysine at residue 336, the site postulated for proteolytic inactivation by activated protein C, resulted in a factor VIII molecule with increased procoagulant activity. This increased activity may result from greater resistance to proteolytic inactivation. A model for the activation and inactivation of factor VIII is proposed. |

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.
