| Abstract | Seven out of 31 (23%) human malignant tumor cell lines had no detectable methylthioadenosine phosphorylase activity (less than 0.001 nmol/min per mg of protein), assayed with 5'-chloroadenosine as substrate. The enzyme-deficient cell lines were derived from five leukemias, one melanoma, and one breast cancer. None of 16 cell lines of nonmalignant origin, derived from lymphocytes, fibroblasts, and epithelial cells, lacked the enzyme (range, 0.156-1.447 nmol/min per mg of protein). As detected by autoradiography, intact enzyme-positive cell lines normal immature bone marrow cells, and four specimens of malignant tumor cells incorporated the adenine moiety of 5'-chloroadenosine into nucleic acids; however, no enzyme-deficient cell lines used 5'-chloroadenosine. When both types of cell lines were cultured in a medium containing 0.4 microM methotrexate, 16 microM uridine, and 16 microM thymidine (or 10 microM azaserine alone), no cells grew. If methylthioadenosine was added to the same medium, only enzyme-positive cells increased in number; most enzyme-deficient cells were dead after 3 days. Thus, human malignant tumor cell lines naturally deficient in methylthioadenosine phosphorylase could be selectively killed when de novo purine synthesis was inhibited and methylthioadenosine was the only exogenous source of purines. |

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.
