| Abstract | A primary receptor-binding region of mouse epidermal growth factor (EGF) was identified by comparing the relative affinities of selected synthetic fragments with overlapping sequences in the EGF receptor-binding assay, using human foreskin fibroblasts. Only synthetic peptides containing the amino acid residues 20-31 in the mouse EGF sequence showed the ability to compete with 125I-labeled EGF in binding to EGF receptors. The affinities of the cyclic EGF fragment [Ala20]EGF-(14-31) and the linear [(S-acetamidomethyl)-Cys20,31]-EGF-(20-31) were approximately 1/10(4) of the affinity of EGF. Despite their reduced receptor affinities, these two peptides exhibited the in vitro biological activities of native EGF, while fragments from other regions of the EGF molecule were devoid of these biological properties. The peptides induced DNA synthesis in human foreskin fibroblasts as measured by [3H]thymidine incorporation into DNA. They also induced EGF receptor clustering and activated the EGF-sensitive kinase, enhancing the autophosphorylation of EGF receptors in a dose-related manner. Moreover, a major antigenic determinant of EGF for rabbit anti-EGF antibodies was identified within this same localized region of the EGF molecule by competition experiments utilizing the synthetic EGF fragments. The predominant EGF antigenic determinant(s) was also found within the fragment [(S-acetamidomethyl)Cys20,31]-EGF-(20-31). The accessibility of the residues in positions 20-31 for antibody recognition is consistent with the conclusion that these residues constitute or contain a major receptor-binding region for EGF. |

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.
