| Abstract | Human fibroblasts from normal subjects and Niemann-Pick A (NPA) disease patients were fed with two labeled metabolic precursors of sphingomyelin (SM), [(3)H]choline and photoactivable sphingosine, that entered into the biosynthetic pathway allowing the synthesis of radioactive phosphatidylcholine and SM, and of radioactive and photoactivable SM ([(3)H]SM-N(3)). Detergent resistant membrane (DRM) fractions prepared from normal and NPA fibroblasts resulted as highly enriched in [(3)H]SM-N(3). However, lipid and protein analysis showed strong differences between the two cell types. After cross-linking, different patterns of SM-protein complexes were found, mainly associated with the detergent soluble fraction of the gradient containing most cell proteins. After cell surface biotinylation, DRMs were immunoprecipitated using streptavidin. In conditions that maintain the integrity of domain, SM-protein complexes were detectable only in normal fibroblasts, whereas disrupting the membrane organization, these complexes were not recovered in the immunoprecipitate, suggesting that they involve proteins belonging to the inner membrane layer. These data suggest that differences in lipid and protein compositions of these cell lines determine specific lipid-protein interactions and different clustering within plasma membrane. In addition, our experiments show that photoactivable sphingolipids metabolically synthesized in cells can be used to study sphingolipid protein environments and sphingolipid-protein interactions. |

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.
