| Abstract | On the basis of the fact that selenium from selenite binds to hemoglobin (Hb), we investigated the missing process in the selenium export from red blood cells (RBCs), i.e., the transfer of selenium bound to Hb to RBC membrane proteins. To elucidate the molecular events of the Hb-associated selenium export from RBC, a Hb-Se complex was synthesized from thiol-exchange of Cys-beta93 in Hb with penicillamine-substituted glutathione selenotrisulfide, as a model of major metabolic intermediates, and then interactions between the Hb-Se complex and RBC inside-out vesicles (IOVs) were examined. Selenium bound to Hb was transferred to the IOV membrane on the basis of the intrinsic interactions between Hb and the cytoplasmic domains of band 3 protein (CDB3). The observed selenium transfer was inhibited by the pretreatments of IOVs with iodoacetamide and the alpha-chymotrypsin digestion, indicating that the Hb mediates the selenium transfer to the thiol groups of CDB3. In addition, it was found that deoxygenated Hb, with a high binding affinity for CDB3, more favorably transferred selenium to the IOV membranes than oxygenated Hb, with a low affinity. When selenium export from RBC to the plasma was examined by continuously introducing nitrogen gas, the selenium export rate was promoted with an increase in the rate of deoxygenated Hb. Overall, these data suggested that Hb could possibly play a role in the selenium export from RBC treated with selenite in an oxygen-linked fashion. |

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.
