| Abstract | Natriuretic peptides are structurally related hormones that regulate hemodynamics of the physiological processes of diuresis, water balance, and blood pressure. One of the second messengers of these hormones is cGMP, and the type of receptor that is involved in the generation of cGMP is also a guanylate cyclase. Recent genetic evidence has revealed such a receptor family; two family members, GC-A and GC-B, have been cloned. We now describe the molecular cloning, sequencing, and expression of a cDNA clone from rat adrenal gland that encodes a membrane guanylate cyclase, GC alpha, that, with the exception of two amino acids, is structurally identical to GC-A and conforms to the purported topographical model of GC-A. The two amino acid changes are the substitutions Gln338----His338 and Leu364----Pro364, involving single nucleotide changes, CAG----CAC and CTG----CCG, respectively. Expression studies indicate that GC alpha cyclase activity is independent of the known natriuretic peptides, and direct binding studies demonstrate that GC alpha is not an ANF receptor. To determine the importance of Gln338 and Leu364 in ANF signaling, the GC alpha cDNA regions encoding amino acid residues 338 and 364 were remodeled by oligonucleotide-directed mutagenesis. A double mutant encoding Gln338 and Leu364, and a single-substitution mutant encoding Leu364 expressed both ANF binding and ANF-dependent cyclase activities, but the mutant encoding Gln338 and a deletion mutant lacking residue 364 did not express either of the above activities. These results define the critical role of Leu364 in ANF signal transduction. |

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.
