| Abstract | Endosomes are major sorting stations in the endocytic route that send proteins and lipids to multiple destinations in the cell, including the cell surface, Golgi complex, and lysosomes. They have an intricate architecture of internal membrane structures enclosed by an outer membrane. Recycling proteins remain on the outer membrane, whereas proteins that are destined for degradation in the lysosome are sorted to the interior. Recently, a retrograde pathway was discovered whereby molecules, like MHC class II of the immune system, return from the internal structures to the outer membrane, allowing their further transport to the cell surface for T cell activation. Whether this return involves back fusion of free vesicles with the outer membrane, or occurs via the continuity of the two membrane domains, is an unanswered question. By electron tomography of cryo-immobilized cells we now demonstrate that, in multivesicular endosomes of B-lymphocytes and dendritic cells, the inner membranes are free vesicles. Hence, protein transport from inner to outer membranes cannot occur laterally in the plane of the membrane, but requires fusion between the two membrane domains. This implies the existence of an intracellular machinery that mediates fusion between the exoplasmic leaflets of the membranes involved, which is opposite to regular intracellular fusion between cytoplasmic leaflets. In addition, our 3D reconstructions reveal the presence of clathrin-coated areas at the cytoplasmic face of the outer membrane, known to participate in protein sorting to the endosomal interior. Interestingly, profiles reminiscent of inward budding vesicles were often in close proximity to the coats. |

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.
