| Abstract | Orotic aciduria is a rare autosomal recessive disease in man due to a deficiency of orotate phosphoribosyltransferase (EC 2.4.2.10; orotidine-5'-phosphate:pyrophosphate phosphoribosyltransferase) and orotidine-5'-phosphate decarboxylase (EC 4.1.1.23; orotidine-5'-phosphate carboxy-lyase). We have compared certain physicochemical properties of orotidine-5'-phosphate decarboxylase from normal and mutant fibroblasts grown under identical conditions. Orotidine-5'-phosphate decarboxylase from homozygous mutant cells was more thermolabile and exhibited a different electrophoretic mobility when compared to the enzyme from normal cells; orotidine-5'-phosphate decarboxylase from one heterozygous cell strain exhibited an intermediate thermolability while the other heterozygote displayed a thermal inactivation curve indistinguishable from normal. The enzyme from both normal and mutant cells exhibited biphasic kinetics with the same apparent Michaelis constants. These data suggest that the molecular defect in the enzyme of this patient with orotic aciduria is due to a mutation in a gene that affects the structure of either orotate phosphoribosyltransferase or orotidine-5'-phosphate decarboxylase and cannot be attributed to a mutation in a regulatory gene, as previously suggested. |

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.
