| Abstract | Point mutations at K234 and K236 in the yeast voltage-dependent anionchannel 1 (VDAC1) of the mitochondrial outer membrane have been shown tomarkedly impair the membrane insertion of this protein (Smith etal., 1995; Angeles et al., 1998). Mutants of this type wereexpressed in vivo in a strain of yeast with a disruption in theVDAC1 gene. Expression of the various VDAC1 forms was under the control of aGal1 promoter. Wild-type VDAC1 expression fully complemented the slow growthphenotype caused by the disruption. VDAC1 mutants in which K234 and K236 werereplaced by arginine, glutamate, or glutamine caused a more severe negativeeffect on growth. This effect appeared to be dominant since the mutant VDAC1forms suppressed growth in a yeast strain that retained its VDAC1 gene. Thisapparent dominant negative effect on growth did not seem to be specific forany stage of the cell cycle. However, the growth defect was not lethal as theaffected cells still could accumulate the vital stain, FUN1. Expression of amutant in which K234 had been replaced by glutamate had more serious negativegrowth effects than did a similar mutation at K236. Expression ofΔ71-116 VDAC1 complemented the VDAC1 disruption; however, expression ofthe same deletion mutant in which the lysines corresponding to K234 and K236were mutated to glutamate severely impaired growth. These results have shownthat a deficiency of lysine at positions 234 and 236 in VDAC1 causes anonlethal growth defect that is more severe than deletion of 45 amino acidsfrom VDAC1 or disruption of the VDAC1 gene. They also indicate that there is ahierarchy in the importance of these lysines with mutations at K234 being themore serious. |

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.
