| Abstract | We studied platelets of patients with the genetic disorder pseudohypoparathyroidism (PHP) to test whether the nucleotide-binding proteins mediating stimulation of adenylate cyclase (termed N(s)) are identical to those mediating inhibition of cyclase (termed N(i)). Functional responses to hormones that work through stimulation of adenylate cyclase are blunted in PHP patients. The erythrocytes of many of these patients (PHP-Ia) have previously been shown to have decreased N(s) activity whereas those of other PHP patients (PHP-Ib) have normal N(s) activity. We find that this decreased N(s) activity (measured by the ability to restore adenylate cyclase activity to membranes prepared from S49 cyc(-) cells) also occurs in the platelets of PHP-Ia but not of PHP-Ib patients. Platelets from both groups of patients accumulate less cAMP in response to prostacyclin than do platelets from control subjects. In contrast to the decreased N(s) function in patients with PHP-Ia, we find that N(i) function in platelets is similar in these patients and control subjects in several types of experiments: (i) epinephrine-mediated inhibition of prostacyclin-stimulated cAMP production in intact platelets; (ii) the affinity of platelet alpha(2)-adrenergic receptors for epinephrine, as determined by competition for [(3)H]yohimbine binding; (iii) the decrease in receptor affinity for epinephrine produced by Na(+) and GTP; and (iv) the concentration dependence of GTP for decreasing the affinity of these receptors for epinephrine. Because N(i) is expressed normally in platelets from patients that are genetically deficient in N(s), we conclude that N(s) and N(i) are likely to be distinct gene products. |

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.
