| Abstract | Characterization of the novel human protein MDGA1 (MAM Domain containing Glycosylphosphatidylinositol Anchor-1) has been reported in our laboratory in the past few years. hMDGA1 is a glycoprotein containing 955 aminoacids (137 kDa) attached to the eukaryotic cell membrane by a GPI (Glycosylphosphatidylinositol) anchor and localized specifically into membrane microdomains known as lipid rafts. Moreover, MDGA1 protein contains structural features found in different types of cell adhesion molecules (CAMs) such as the presence of immunoglobulin domains and a MAM domain (Meprin, A5 protein, receptor protein-tyrosine phosphatase μ), suggesting a role of MDGA1 in cell migration and/or adhesion. In order to investigate this aim, stable MDCK cell lines expressing MDGA1 or the truncated proteins IgGPI (lacking the MAM domain) and MAMGPI (lacking Ig domains) were generated. Our results reveal that MDGA1 increases the ability of MDCK cells to migrate, as it contains both Ig and MAM domains which have been implicated in cell motility. In addition, cell adhesion to extracellular matrix proteins, mainly to collagen IV, is reduced by MDGA1 and the IgGPI and MAMGPI truncated proteins. Accordingly, silencing MDGA1 by siRNA revealed a significant increase in adhesion to collagen IV. Furthermore, MDGA1 expression, through the intrinsic properties of the MAM domain, increases cell-cell adhesion independently of the cell monolayer used, suggesting that MDGA1 mediates cell-cell adhesiveness in a heterophilic manner. |

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.
