| Abstract | The extracellular matrix (ECM) acts as a critical factor during morphogenesis. Because the organization of the ECM directly influences the structure of tissues and organs, a determination of the way that ECM organization is regulated should help to clarify morphogenesis. We have analyzed the assembly of Del1, an ECM protein produced by endothelial cells in embryos, in the ECM. Del1 consists of three epidermal growth factor repeats (E1–E3) at its N-terminus and two discoidin domains (C1, C2) at its C-terminus. Experiments with various deletion mutants of Del1 have revealed that fragments containing the C-terminus of C1, which has a lectin-like structure, direct deposition in the ECM. The efficiency of deposition varies according to the presence of other domains in Del1. A fragment containing E3 and C1 has the strongest deposition activity, whereas fragments containing C2, which is highly homologous to C1, have low deposition activity. Digestion of ECM with hyaluronidase from bovine testis releases Del1 from the ECM, suggesting that glycosaminoglycans are involved in the deposition of Del1. In vivo gene transfer experiments have shown that fusion with the deposition domain of Del1 dramatically alters the distribution of exogenous proteins in mice. Thus, the extent of Del1 deposition may modify the organization of the ECM. |

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.
