| Abstract | The minimal size of the fourth intracellular domain of heptahelical G-protein coupling receptors (GPCRs) is close to 15 residues, and a juxtamembrane 15-residue segment is predicted as helical (Helix-8) in most of the receptors. Sequences of opsins, non-visual opsin-like (family A) GPCRs and Taste-2 receptors correspond with bovine rhodopsin at four positions in this tract. This is especially evident in monoamine receptors. In most GPCRs, the conserved juxtamembrane segment also has a large fraction of basic sidechains, and a considerable excess of cationic over anionic residues. The conservation is not dependent on the preferred G-protein α subunit or the overall length of the domain, indicating an additive speciation. In rod opsins and some A-GPCRs this segment has been shown to associate with the bilayer and to interact with G-proteins. The segment could also be involved in precoupling of receptors and transducers. These interactions could be helped by both the structural propensities and the high content of cationic sidechains. |

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.
