| Abstract | Conjugation-rescue experiments with two Tetrahymena thermophila mutants (exo-) incapable of exocytosis (SB255, SB258) have been used to dissect regulatory steps in assembly of a functional membrane microdomain, the fusion rosette. "Rescue" refers to the recovery of a secretory activity. Exo- mutants fail to secrete mucus normally (form capsules) when stimulated by the secretagogue alcian blue and are blocked before the assembly of a functional fusion rosette in the cell membrane. Two criteria are used to assay recovery of the wild-type (exo+) phenotype: the conjugant's ability to form capsules when stimulated and the presence of assembled rosettes, which disperse upon stimulation. Conjugation of exo+ X SB258 results in restoration of secretion in 60% of the mutant conjugants and reappearance of assembled rosettes. Secretory capacity is restored in the SB258 cell within one-half hour of firm pair formation. This restoration is not due to new gene expression or continued protein synthesis, since it occurs when SB258 is crossed to a "star" strain (A*), which has defective micronuclei and therefore cannot contribute wild-type genes, and restoration occurs in the presence of cycloheximide during conjugation. Conjugation of exo+ X SB255 reveals a real but inefficient restoration of exocytic capacity in the exo- conjugant and a significant decrease of exocytic capacity in the exo+ conjugant. SB255 X SB258 crosses also show a low but significant rescue of exocytic competence, indicating that different components of the exocytic mechanism are affected in the two mutants. This cross leads to restoration of rosette assembly and function in one of the partners, presumably SB258. These results provide data about some of the steps necessary for rosette assembly and suggest that transferable factors that promote and/or inhibit exocytosis are present in these 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.
