| Abstract | We demonstrate stimulus-dependent incorporation of exogenously added [3H]myristic acid into specific macrophage proteins. In control unstimulated cells an 18-kDa protein is the major acylated species. In cells incubated with bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS), or its monoacyl glucosamine phosphate derivative, fatty acid is incorporated into proteins with molecular mass of 68 kDa and a doublet of approximately 42-45 kDa. Phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) or a phagocytic stimulus (zymosan) promotes the acylation of a similar array of proteins. However, PMA and zymosan also promote the myristoylation of unique proteins of 92 and 50 kDa. The fatty acid associated with each of the acylated proteins is myristic acid. The myristate is probably linked to the proteins through amide bonds, since it is not released by treatment with hydroxylamine. Palmitate and arachidonate are not incorporated into proteins in the same manner. Temporal analysis revealed that LPS-induced proteins are myristoylated by 30 min, while the 50-kDa protein myristoylated in response to PMA is labeled later. Most myristoylated proteins appear to be associated with the membrane fraction. Macrophages from C3H/HeJ mice, which do not respond to LPS, do not show any LPS-dependent protein acylation. Interestingly, zymosan and PMA induce the myristoylation of the 50-kDa protein in C3H/HeJ macrophages, but not the acylation of the 68-kDa and 42-kDa doublet species. We suggest that myristoylation of specific proteins is an intermediary in the capacity of LPS, PMA, and zymosan to alter macrophage functions such as arachidonic acid metabolism. |

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.
