| Abstract | The discovery of GTPase-inhibiting mutations in genes for alpha subunits of Gs or G(i2) in certain human endocrine tumors has raised the possibility that heterotrimeric guanine nucleotide-binding regulatory proteins (G proteins) might contribute to neoplastic disease. Expression of GTPase-deficient alpha s or alpha i2 polypeptides in rodent fibroblasts increases or decreases cAMP, respectively, and induces certain alterations in cell growth but only a few of the phenotypic changes associated with cellular transformation. In contrast, an analogous mutation in the alpha subunit of Gq, which activates phosphatidylinositol (PI)-specific phospholipase C, is fully oncogenic. However, activated alpha q is cytotoxic and several orders of magnitude less potent as an oncogene than certain G protein-coupled receptors. Thus, G proteins other than those inducing PI hydrolysis might possess high transforming efficiency. In the present study, we explored the G12 family of G proteins for their oncogenic potential. Our results show that whereas overexpression of wild-type alpha 12 in NIH 3T3 cells is itself weakly transforming, an activated alpha 12 behaves as a remarkably potent oncogene. Transformation by alpha 12 correlates with alterations in the eicosanoid pathway but not with PI-specific phospholipase C or other G protein-linked second messengers. |

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.
