| Abstract | The major cytoskeletal proteins alpha-spectrin, beta-spectrin, and ankyrin are synthesized and assembled into a supportive membrane skeleton during erythroid differentiation. Information on the temporal appearance of mRNA and protein species is essential for understanding both the cytoskeletal assembly process and the function of various isoforms. We have isolated highly enriched populations of fetal erythroid cells at various stages of maturation. mRNAs for erythroid ankyrin, alpha-spectrin, and beta-spectrin were expressed at all stages but there were differences in transcript types and levels. The ratio of 9-kilobase (kb) to 7.5-kb erythroid ankyrin transcripts decreased markedly during differentiation, but there was no change in the ratio of the 10.1-kb and 9.3-kb erythroid beta-spectrin transcripts. The relative amounts of ankyrin, alpha-spectrin, and beta-spectrin mRNA increased during yolk sac cell differentiation, whereas only alpha-spectrin mRNA increased during differentiation of the fetal liver cells. The amounts of beta-spectrin mRNA exceeded the amounts of alpha-spectrin mRNA in the early precursors from both yolk sac and fetal liver; protein synthetic levels showed the same pattern. The 16-day fetal peripheral reticulocytes, on the other hand, had the adult mRNA and protein synthetic ratios with alpha/beta greater than 1. The data indicate that at least two mechanisms exist to meet changing erythroid membrane cytoskeletal requirements during development in utero: (i) stage-specific processing of the mRNA for the major cytoskeletal linker protein ankyrin and (ii) developmentally regulated alpha/beta-spectrin protein synthetic rates. |

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.
