| Abstract | A rapid autoradiographic screening procedure has been developed for identifying Chinese hamster ovary cell mutants defective in the peroxisomal enzyme dihydroxyacetonephosphate (DHAP) acyltransferase. Ten mutants were found among 60,000 colonies grown from a stock of mutagen-treated cells, and 3 have been characterized with respect to their enzymology and phospholipid biosynthesis. All three contain 3% (or less) of the parental DHAP acyltransferase activity measured at pH 5.5, the optimum for the peroxisomal enzyme. When measured at pH 7.4, all three contained 70-85% of the wild-type activity, but it was sensitive to N-ethylmaleimide. Glycerol-3-phosphate acyltransferase activities were identical in mutant and parent strains. Two other peroxisomal enzymes, alkyl-DHAP synthase and particulate catalase, were also reduced by factors of 5-10 in all three mutants, suggesting that these strains are deficient in some aspect of peroxisome assembly, possibly like cells from patients with Zellweger syndrome. Short-term and long-term labeling with 32Pi revealed that these mutants are grossly deficient in the de novo synthesis and content of plasmalogens. In parental cells the plasmalogen form of phosphatidylethanolamine constitutes 7.1% of the total phospholipid, but it is reduced to 0.7% in the mutants. This decrease is accompanied by a compensatory increase in the diacyl form of phosphatidylethanolamine. The results presented here support the view that there are two DHAP acyltransferases in animal cells and that the peroxisome is essential for the biosynthesis of plasmalogens. |

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.
