| Abstract | In a search for determinants of retinotopic specification we previously identified an antigen in the dorsal embryonic retina as a protein called the 68-kDa laminin receptor. A dorso-ventral asymmetry in a laminin receptor seemed consistent with the known responsiveness of embryonic optic axons to laminin, but there were three peculiar points. (i) The molecular mass of this presumed laminin receptor in immunoblots is not 68 kDa but 43 kDa, and the molecular mass of the protein deduced from the mRNA is only 33 kDa. (ii) The antigen does not have the localization expected of a receptor for the extracellular matrix: the antibodies label mainly a granular cytoplasmic antigen in dorsal retina; an additional sparse cell-surface antigen present on a few cells does not show a dorso-ventral asymmetry. (iii) Despite the pronounced dorso-ventral difference seen immunohistochemically, in immunoblots the 43-kDa protein (p40) is evenly distributed throughout the retina. Here we show that (i) native p40 and in vitro-translated gene product are indistinguishable and their anomalous migration in denaturing gels probably is due to low pI; (ii) p40 is bound in a Mg2(+)-dependent manner to large cytoplasmic complexes that appear to include ribosomes; and (iii) there is a labile conformational difference in p40 between dorsal and ventral retina: dorsally it is more accessible to proteolysis, suggesting a more open conformation. In conjunction with the recent hypothesis that p40 constitutes a translation initiation factor (D. Auth and G. Brawerman, personal communication), these observations point to a dorso-ventral asymmetry in some aspect of protein translation, which in turn may set up differences in recognition factors on retinal growth cones. |

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.
