| Abstract | Insulin stimulates the hydrolysis of a phosphatidylinositol-glycan, resulting in the generation of two related inositol phosphate-glycan enzyme modulators and diacylglycerol. A phosphatidylinositol-glycan-specific phospholipase C that catalyzed this reaction was found in the plasma-membrane fraction of rat liver. The enzymatic activity was measured by the release of diacylglycerol from the glycosylated-phosphatidylinositol-membrane-anchored variant surface glycoproteins of African trypanosomes. The enzyme also catalyzed the production of an inositol phosphate-glycan from an insulin-sensitive phosphatidylinositol-glycan precursor. The enzyme was solubilized with neutral nonionic detergent and purified to near homogeneity by anion-exchange chromatography on DEAE-cellulose, followed by hydrophobic chromatography on butyl-agarose. The resulting enzyme preparation was purified approximately 20,000-fold from whole liver and exhibited one major silver-stained band of Mr 52,000 on NaDodSO4/PAGE. Gel permeation chromatography of the purified activity revealed a Stokes radius of 35 A and an apparent molecular weight of 62,000, suggesting that the enzyme was tightly associated with lipid or detergent but existed as a monomer in its active form. The enzyme was specific for glycosylated phosphatidylinositol; no hydrolysis of phosphatidylinositol, phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate, or phosphatidylcholine was observed. The enzyme was calcium independent and thiol activated. These data suggest a role for the phosphatidylinositol-glycan-specific phospholipase C as an effector for some of the metabolic actions of insulin. |

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.
