| Abstract | Besides cardiovascular diseases, cancer represents the major cause of death in developed countries. In many different human tumors, increased activity of serine/threonine protein kinase CK2 has been detected, and recent in vivo studies support a direct involvement of CK2 in tumor progression. Therefore, potent compounds to decrease CK2 activity to a non-pathogenic level would be a promising effort toward an antineoplastic therapy. In this study, an alternative to the established radiometric phosphorylation assay for quantification of CK2 activity was developed. For this purpose, the substrate peptide RRRDDDSDDD was coupled at the C-terminus to the fluorophore EDANS (5-[(2-aminoethyl)amino]naphthalene-1-sulfonic acid) and at the N-terminus to the quencher DABCYL (4-(4-dimethylaminophenylazo)benzoic acid). This resulted in quenched fluorescence of EDANS due to a FRET-based effect. After proteolytic cleavage of the peptide by elastase, the quenching effect was reduced and, as a consequence, fluorescence was increased. Because elastase is supposed to cleave at the S/D site of the peptide, phosphorylation of serine by CK2 hampered substrate binding of elastase and blocked the increase in fluorescence by proteolytic cleavage. This means that the new assay to quantify human CK2 activity is based on the differential accessibility of the proteolytic cleavage site, which is dependent on kinase phosphorylation. It could be used to measure inhibition of the human target in neoplastic diseases by the compounds TBB (4,5,6,7-tetrabromobenzotriazole) and Emodin. |

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.
