| Abstract | α-Synuclein has been implicated in the pathogenesis of Parkinson’s disease. The function of α-synuclein has not been deciphered yet; however, it might play a role in vesicle function, transport, or as a chaperone. α-Synuclein belongs to a family of three proteins, which includes β- and γ-synuclein. γ-Synuclein shares 60% similarity with α-synuclein. Similar to α-synuclein, a physiological function for γ-synuclein has not been defined yet, but it has been implicated in tumorgenesis and neurodegeneration. Interestingly, neither α- (SNCA−/−), γ- (SNCG−/−), nor α/γ- (SNCA_G−/−) deficient mice are present with any obvious phenotype. Using microarray analysis, we thus investigated whether deficiency of α- and γ-synuclein leads to similar compensatory mechanisms at the RNA level and whether similar transcriptional signatures are altered in the brain. Sixty-five genes were differentially expressed in all mice. SNCA−/− mice and SNCG−/− mice shared 84 differentially expressed genes, SNCA−/− and SNCA_G−/− expressed 79 genes, and SNCG−/− and SNCA_G−/− expressed 148 genes. For many of the physiological pathways such as dopamine receptor signaling (down-regulated), cellular development, nervous system function, and cell death (up-regulated), we found groups of genes that were similarly altered in SNCA−/− and SNCG−/− mice. In one of the pathways altered in both models, we found Mapk1 as the core transcript. Other gene groups, however, such as TGF-β signaling and apoptosis pathways genes were significantly up-regulated in the SNCA−/− mice but down-regulated in SNCG−/− mice. β-synuclein expression was not significantly altered in any of the models. |

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.
