| Abstract | We have shown previously that the product of the human lon gene, the Lon protease, selectively degrades oxidized mitochondrial proteins, thus preventing their aggregation and cross-linking. We have also shown that lon is a stress-responsive gene, whose protease product is a stress-responsive protein that is induced by multiple stressors, including heat shock, serum starvation, and oxidative stress. Lon induction, by pre-treatment with low-level stress, protects against oxidative protein damage, diminished mitochondrial function, and loss of cell proliferation, induced by toxic levels of hydrogen peroxide. Blocking Lon induction, with lon siRNA, also blocks this induced protection. All of these results were obtained in young, healthy cells. In senescent cells, and in older primary cells, however, Lon activity declines, and adaptational responses become sluggish or even ineffectual. Studies in Drosophila melanogaster flies and in mice now suggest that declining Lon activity and declining responsiveness to stress, may contribute to the ageing process, and to various age-associated diseases. We propose that Lon is a generalized stress-protective enzyme whose decline may contribute to the increased levels of protein damage and mitochondrial dysfunction observed in ageing and various age-related diseases. We further propose that impaired ability to induce lon, and other stress-responsive genes, now needs to be included in any Free Radical Theory of Ageing. |

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.
