| Abstract | Like many physiological ligands, several viruses and toxins enter mammalian cells through receptor-mediated endocytosis. Once internalized, the nucleic acids of several viruses and the toxic subunit of diphtheria toxin gain access to the cytosol of the host cell through an acidic intracellular compartment. In this report, we present evidence that one class of mutants of Chinese hamster ovary (CHO)-K1 cells, which is "cross-resistant" to Pseudomonas exotoxin A, diphtheria toxin, and several animal viruses, has a defect in acidification of the endosome. Cells were allowed to internalize fluorescein isothiocyanate-conjugated dextran before subcellular fractionation. Fluorescence measurements on subcellular fractions permitted measurement of the internal pH of the isolated endosomes and lysosomes. Our results show that (i) endosomes and lysosomes from CHO-K1 cells maintain an acidic pH, (ii) acidification of both endosomes and lysosomes is mediated by a Mg2+/ATP-dependent process, (iii) GTP can satisfy the ATP requirement for acidification of lysosomes but not of endosomes, and (iv) at least one class of mutants that is cross-resistant to toxins and animal viruses has a defect in the ATP-dependent acidification of their endosomes. These studies provide biochemical and genetic evidence that the mechanisms of acidification of endosomes and lysosomes are distinct and that a defect in acidification of endosomes is one biochemical basis for cross-resistance to toxins and viruses. |

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.
