| Abstract | Possible methods by which eukaryotic cells can regulate intracellular pH (pHi) in response to experimental acid loading were investigated by using as a model cell the fungus Neurospora. Attention was focused on the role of membrane transport in such regulation, starting from the fact that this organism possesses a powerful electrogenic proton extrusion pump. Intracellular acidification was forced by introducing butyric acid into the recording medium, and subsequent changes in pHi and membrane potential were determined with intracellular microelectrodes. In separate experiments, membrane current-voltage curves were obtained and resolved--by an explicit kinetic model--into distinct pump and leak components. Decreased pHi causes increased outward pumping of H+ ions, in a manner quantitatively consistent with their role as a substrate for the proton pump. This increased pumping is often manifest as a transient hyperpolarization at the onset of cytoplasmic acidification. With a considerably slower time course, decreased pHi also produces a large increase in membrane leak conductance, which brings about net membrane depolarization and further stimulates the pump (by virtue of the reduced back electromotive force). Although the identity of the ion responsible for increased leak conductance is not yet known, the evident modulation of conductance seemingly plays an important role in stabilizing the intracellular pH: Stimulation of the pump alone would have little net effect on pHi because it would result simply in enhanced backflux of H+ (to which the membrane is most permeable in normal circumstances). An increased leak to nonprotons, however, would allow the pump to accomplish net H+ ejection. |

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.
