| Abstract | Extracellular adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (cAMP) is required for cell-type-specific gene expression in developing Dictyostelium discoideum. We have developed a microassay for the expression of these genes, using antibodies directed against their protein products. To characterize the transduction mechanism, we have used in this assay cAMP analogues that preferentially activate either the cell-surface cAMP receptor or the internal cAMP-dependent protein kinase. N6-(aminohexyl) cAMP activates the Dictyostelium cAMP-dependent protein kinase but does not bind to the cell-surface cAMP receptor and does not cause cell-type-specific gene expression. 2'-Deoxy-cAMP does not activate the cAMP-dependent protein kinase but binds to the receptor and causes cell-type-specific gene expression. Cyclic AMP-induced accumulation of prestalk mRNA in shaking cultures still occurs in the presence of caffeine, which blocks the receptor-coupled activation of adenyl cyclase. This suggests that the extracellular cAMP induction of cell-type-specific gene expression in developing Dictyostelium cells is mediated by the cell-surface cAMP receptor and that activating adenyl cyclase by this receptor is not essential. Using the N6-(aminohexyl) cAMP to competitively inhibit phosphodiesterase, we show that 30 nM cAMP is sufficient to induce prestalk or prespore gene expression. |

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.
