| Abstract | The intercalated cells of the kidney collecting duct are specialized for physiologically regulated proton transport. In these cells, a vacuolar H(+)-ATPase is expressed at enormous levels in a polarized distribution on the plasma membrane, enabling it to serve in transepithelial H+ transport. In contrast, in most eukaryotic cells, vacuolar H(+)-ATPases reside principally in intracellular compartments to effect vacuolar acidification. To investigate the basis for the selective amplification of the proton pump in intercalated cells, we isolated and sequenced cDNA clones for two isoforms of the approximately 56-kDa subunit of the H(+)-ATPase and examined their expression in various tissues. The predicted amino acid sequence of the isoforms was highly conserved in the internal region but diverged in the amino and carboxyl termini. mRNA hybridization to a cDNA probe for one isoform (the 'kidney' isoform) was detected only in kidney cortex and medulla, whereas mRNA hybridization to the other isoform of the approximately 56-kDa subunit and to the H(+)-ATPase 31-kDa subunit was found in the kidney and other tissues. Immunocytochemistry of rat kidney with an antibody specific to the kidney isoform revealed intense staining only in the intercalated cells. Staining was absent from proximal tubule and thick ascending limb, where H(+)-ATPase was detected with a monoclonal antibody to the 31-kDa subunit of the H(+)-ATPase. This example of specific amplification of an isoform of one subunit of the vacuolar H(+)-ATPase being limited to a specific cell type suggests that the selective expression of the kidney isoform of the approximately 56-kDa subunit may confer the capacity for amplification and other specialized functions of the vacuolar H(+)-ATPase in the renal intercalated cell. |

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.
