| Abstract | Previous work had demonstrated the coupling of a beta-adrenergic receptor on an erythrocyte with the adenylate cyclase [ATP pyrophosphate-lyase (cyclizing), EC 4.6.1.1] of a tissue culture cell when the two cells were fused by Sendai virus. The validity of this finding for animal tissues in general, for membrane preparations, and for peptide hormone receptors could hitherto not be assessed. Available fusion procedures worked efficiently only with certain intact cells from tissue culture and with erythrocytes. In the present work a membrane fusion method was developed that causes the transfer of the glucagon receptor from purified rat liver membranes to Friend erythroleukemia cells; even direct transfer to a membrane fraction prepared from Friend cells became feasible. It can therefore be concluded that a peptide hormone receptor in a normal tissue membrane has properties similar to those demonstrated for a beta-adrenergic receptor in an erythrocyte: it exists in the membrane as a dissociable independent unit that can readily couple with the adenylate cyclase of a foreign cell. The efficiency of the membrane fusion procedure is due to the combined action of polyethylene glycol, phospholipids, stearylamine, and ATP in a salt medium. The method promises to be applicable to membranes of various cells and tissues, and it can probably be used to analyze hormone receptors and adenylate cyclase systems in states of malfunction by transfer to their respective counterpart in a normal cell membrane. Studies in biochemical hybridization of membrane components need not be limited to hormone activation of adenylate cyclase. With the aid of the membrane fusion method, this approach could be applied to any dissociable multicomponent system in biological membranes. |

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.
