| Abstract | Clostridium perfringens iota-toxin is a binary toxin composed of an enzymatic component (Ia) and a binding component (Ib). The oligomer of Ib formed in membranes induces endocytosis. We examined the binding and internalization of Ib by using Cy3-labeled Ib. Labeled Ib was retained at the membranes of MDCK cells for 60 min of incubation at 37°C, and later it was detected in cytoplasmic vesicles. To determine whether Ib associates with lipid rafts, we incubated MDCK cells with Ib at 4 or 37°C and fractionated the Triton-insoluble membranes. An Ib complex of 500 kDa was localized at 37°C to the insoluble fractions that fulfilled the criteria of lipid rafts, but it did not form at 4°C. The amount of complex in the raft fraction reached a maximum after 60 min of incubation at 37°C. When the cells that were preincubated with Ib at 4°C were incubated at 37°C, the complex was detected in the raft fraction. The treatment of MDCK cells with methyl-β-cyclodextrin reduced the localization of the Ib complex to the rafts and the rounding of the cells induced by Ia plus Ib. When 125I-labeled Ia was incubated with the cells in the presence of Ib at 37°C, it was localized in the raft fraction. Surface plasmon resonance analysis revealed that Ia binds to the oligomer of Ib. We conclude that Ib binds to a receptor in membranes and then moves to rafts and that Ia bound to the oligomer of Ib formed in the rafts is internalized. |

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.
