| Abstract | Single-minded 2 (Sim2) gene, located at the Down syndrome (DS) critical region, is thought to be particularly important because of its critical role in the development of the central nervous system (CNS) and its overexpression resulting in impairment of learning and memory which is similar to that in DS. However, its exact role in DS still remains elusive. Using a yeast two-hybrid interaction trap, we identified the mitotic arrest-deficient protein MAD2B as a novel Sim2 binding protein. Through confocal laser scanning microscopy, we found that Sim2 and MAD2B colocalized in rat cortex neurons. This interaction between Sim2 and MAD2B was also confirmed by co-immunoprecipitation. Moreover, levels of mRNA and protein of both Sim2 and MAD2B were regulated during nervous development as detected by quantitative RT-PCR and western blot analysis. We also found that overexpression of Sim2 affected the distribution of MAD2B in primary culture neurons. The results of confocal laser scanning microscopy and co-immunoprecipitation indicated that in neurons, MAD2B interacted with clathrin light chain A, which is best known for its role in endocytosis. In addition, it was found that overexpression of Sim2 or MAD2B caused deficits in clathrin-mediated endocytosis. Furthermore, overexpression of both MAD2B and Sim2 exacerbates their own inhibitory effect on transferrin uptake. These results suggest that MAD2B may mediate Sim2 function during development in CNS and thereby play a critical role in pathophysiological mechanisms in DS. |

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.
