| Abstract | A cDNA probe was prepared to investigate the regulation of proenkephalin biosynthesis in the rat. This was necessary because human and bovine proenkephalin cDNA were not sensitive enough for the accurate detection of preproenkephalin mRNA in tissues that contain low copy numbers of this message, such as the adrenal gland. The rat probe was prepared in the following manner. Preproenkephalin mRNA was enriched by sucrose gradient centrifugation of poly(A)-containing mRNA from rat brain and was used as a template for double-stranded cDNA synthesis. The resulting cDNA was inserted into the plasmid pBR322, and recombinant plasmids were used to transform Escherichia coli RR1 cells. A synthetic oligodeoxyribonucleotide (30 bases long) with a sequence that had previously been shown to be identical in bovine and human preproenkephalin cDNA was prepared to screen the clone bank. The plasmid with the longest cDNA insert (about 1200 bases) from the positive clones was isolated, and the sequence of the entire protein coding region was determined. Like the bovine and human gene products, rat preproenkephalin contains four [Met]enkephalin sequences and one copy each of [Leu]enkephalin, [Met]enkephalin-Arg6-Gly7-Leu8, and [Met]enkephalin-Arg6-Phe7. Rat preproenkephalin is 80% and 83% homologous to the bovine and human forms, respectively, at the nucleotide level and is 82% homologous to both species at the amino acid level. Rat preproenkephalin contains 269 amino acid residues, making it larger than the human (267 residues) and bovine (263 residues) precursors. The sensitivity for detection of rat preproenkephalin mRNA with the rat cDNA was several times greater than with the corresponding cDNAs from bovine and human sources. |

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.
