| Abstract | The properties of ornithine decarboxylase (OrnDCase) from mouse epidermis and benign epidermal tumors (papillomas) induced by the initiation-promotion protocol were compared. When crude extracts from each tissue were incubated at 55 degrees C, epidermal OrnDCase was rapidly inactivated, but the papilloma OrnDCase was more heat stable. Each of five individual papilloma extracts contained OrnDCase activity that was considerably more resistant to heat inactivation than was epidermal OrnDCase. Mixing of a papilloma and epidermal extract produced an intermediate heat-inactivation profile, suggesting that the differences in OrnDCase heat stability are not due to non-OrnDCase components of the extracts. Kinetic analyses indicated that the papilloma OrnDCase has an altered affinity for its substrate, L-ornithine, compared to epidermal OrnDCase. The apparent Km for L-ornithine for the epidermal enzyme was 0.07 mM while the Km values for the individual papilloma OrnDCases clustered around two higher values, 0.3 mM and 1.0 mM. The papilloma OrnDCases, but not epidermal OrnDCase, were activated by GTP and to a lesser extent by CTP. Immunoblot analysis showed the existence of multiple forms of OrnDCase in both epidermis and papilloma that differed in isoelectric point but not subunit molecular weight. None of the species of OrnDCase present in the epidermal extract coincided with the species present in papilloma. These results suggest that one consequence of neoplastic transformation in this in vivo system is the presence of an OrnDCase protein in benign tumors that differs structurally and functionally from the OrnDCase present in normal epidermis. The possible mechanisms responsible for these results and their significance for neoplastic development in this tissue are discussed. |

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.
