| Abstract | Mutant clones of Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells defective in the base-exchange reaction of phospholipids with choline were isolated by using an in situ enzymatic assay for the reaction in cell colonies immobilized on polyester cloth. The specific activities of the choline-exchange reaction in extracts of one of the mutants (designated 64) grown at 33 degrees C and 40 degrees C were 13% and 6% of those in parental (CHO-K1) cells, respectively. The choline-exchange activity in the mutant was more thermolabile in cell extracts than that in the parent, suggesting that a mutation in the structural gene for the choline-exchange enzyme might have been induced in this mutant. In culture medium supplemented with lipoprotein-deficient serum, mutant 64 grew almost normally at 33 degrees C but divided only twice at 40 degrees C and then stopped growing. Labeling of intact cells with [32P]Pi showed that mutant 64 was also strikingly defective in the biosynthesis of phosphatidylserine at 40 degrees C but was normal at 33 degrees C. Most temperature-resistant revertants of mutant 64 exhibited nearly normal ability to synthesize phosphatidylserine at 40 degrees C and also showed choline-exchange activity similar to that in parental cells. The addition of phosphatidylserine to medium supplemented with newborn calf serum, in which mutant 64 grew more slowly than parental cells at 40 degrees C, restored the growth rate of the mutant to the parental level. Our findings suggest that the choline-exchange enzyme functions as the major route for the formation of phosphatidylserine and that the temperature-sensitive growth of mutant 64 is due to a defect in phosphatidylserine biosynthesis at 40 degrees C. |

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.
