| Abstract | Type I osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is a dominantly inherited disease characterized clinically by bone fractures during childhood, blue sclerae, and frequent hearing loss accompanied by a decreased content of type I collagen in bone and skin. Cultured skin fibroblasts from three individuals affected with the disease produce half-normal levels of type I procollagen, a disulfide-bonded trimer that contains two pro alpha 1(I) chains and one pro alpha 2(I) chain. In normal cells, pro alpha 1(I) and pro alpha 2(I) are synthesized in a 2:1 ratio and only assembled molecules are secreted. In contrast, the OI cells contain equimolar amounts of pro alpha 1(I) and pro alpha 2(I), which suggests that trimer assembly and secretion are limited by the level of pro alpha 1(I) synthesis. The 'extra' pro alpha 2(I) in the OI cells is in a nondisulfide-bonded configuration and is not secreted but apparently contributes to an increased level of intracellular degradation. Thus, decreased production of type I procollagen in these patients is the result of decreased synthesis of pro alpha 1(I). These results suggest that the stoichiometry of pro alpha chains in type I procollagen is determined by the conformation of the chains rather than the ratio in which they are synthesized, that molecules containing more than a single pro alpha 2(I) chain are not assembled, and that the production of this heteropolymeric molecule may be effectively regulated by controlling the synthesis of only one of the subunits. |

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.
