| Abstract | Purified testicular and ovarian luteinizing hormone/human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) receptors are phosphorylated at serine and threonine residues by the catalytic subunit of the cAMP-dependent protein kinase (protein kinase A). Occupancy of the receptors by hCG significantly increased the rate but not the extent of phosphorylation. However, prolonged preincubation of receptors with hCG reduced the subsequent rate of receptor phosphorylation. Identical phosphopeptide maps were obtained for the phosphorylated ovarian and testicular receptors. The phosphorylated receptor, like the native receptor, bound to wheat germ lectin and hCG-Sepharose and migrated as a single band of Mr 90,000 (testis) and Mr 85,000 (ovary) on NaDodSO4/PAGE. Neuraminidase treatment of receptors caused reductions of molecular weight to 82,000 (testis) and 77,000 (ovary), and further treatment with O-Glycanase had minimal effect on molecular size. However, deglycosylation with N-Glycosidase and endoglycosidase F produced a single labeled polypeptide of Mr 59,000 for both gonadal receptors. Treatment of native receptors with neuraminidase caused no apparent change in binding of gonadotropin to blotted receptors, whereas deglycosylated receptors showed a major reduction in hormone binding. These results indicate that luteinizing hormone/hCG receptors are sialoglycoproteins with predominantly N-linked glycosyl residues that account for the size difference between testicular and ovarian receptors and that may participate in the interaction with gonadotropin. Receptor occupancy by agonist leads to a conformational change that facilitates its phosphorylation during initial binding and reduces the rate of phosphorylation after more prolonged exposure to hCG. |

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.
