| Abstract | Mammalian Trp proteins are candidates for plasma membrane calcium channels regulated by receptor activation or by intracellular calcium store depletion [capacitative calcium entry (CCE)]. One extensively investigated member of the Trp family, the human Trp3 (hTrp3), behaves as a receptor-activated, calcium-permeable, nonselective cation channel when expressed in cell lines and does not appear to be activated by store depletion. Nonetheless, there is good evidence that Trp3 can be regulated by interacting with inositol trisphosphate receptors (IP(3)Rs), reminiscent of the conformational coupling mode of CCE. To investigate the role of Trp3 in CCE, and its regulation by IP(3)R, we transiently expressed hTrp3 in the wild-type DT40 chicken B lymphocyte cell line and its variant lacking IP(3)R. Expression of hTrp3 in either wild-type or IP(3)R-knockout cells did not increase basal membrane permeability, but resulted in a substantially greater divalent cation entry after thapsigargin-induced store depletion. This hTrp3-dependent divalent cation entry was significantly greater in the wild type than in IP(3)R-knockout cells. Thus, it appears that in this cell line, hTrp3 forms channels that are store-operated by both IP(3)R-dependent and IP(3)R-independent mechanisms. Trp3, or one of its structural relatives, is a candidate for the store-operated, nonselective cation channels observed in smooth muscle cells and other cell types. |

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.
