| Abstract | UNLABELLED: Lon, also called protease La, is an ATP-dependent protease present in all kingdoms of life. It is involved in protein quality control and several regulatory processes. Eukaryotic Lon possesses three domains, an N-terminal domain, an ATPase domain and a proteolytic domain. It requires ATP hydrolysis to digest larger, intact proteins, but can cleave small, fluorogenic peptides such as Glu-Ala-Ala-Phe-MNA by only binding, but not hydrolyzing, ATP. Both ATPase and peptidase activities can be stimulated by the binding of a larger protein substrate, such as ß-casein. To better understand its mechanism of action, we have prepared several point mutants of four conserved residues of human Lon (G893A, G893P, G894A, G894P, G894S, G893A-G894A, G893P-G894A, G893A-G894P, T880V, W770A, W770P) and studied their ATPase, protease and peptidase activities. Our results show that mutations to Gly894 enhance its basal ATPase activity but do not change its ß-casein-stimulated activity. The loop containing Gly893 and Gly894, which flanks Lon's proteolytic active site, therefore appears to be involved in the conformational change that occurs upon substrate binding. Furthermore, mutations to Trp770 have the same general effects on the ATPase activity as mutations to Gly893, indicating that Trp770 is involved in ATPase stimulation. We have also established that this loop does not need to move in order to cleave small, fluorogenic peptides, but does move during the digestion of ß-casein. Finally, we also noted that Lon's ability to digest small peptides can be inhibited by moderate ATP concentrations.

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.
