| Abstract | The existence of a unique sarcomeric actin is demonstrated in teleosts that possess substantial amounts of slow skeletal muscle in the trunk. The slow skeletal isotype is conserved. There is one amino acid substitution between Atlantic herring slow skeletal actin and the equivalent in salmonids. Conversely, the intra-species variation is considerable; 13 substitutions between different herring skeletal isotypes (slow versus fast). The isomorphisms (non-conservative underlined: residues, 2, 3, 103 , 155 , 160, 165, 278 , 281 , 310 , 329, 358, 360 and 363) are restricted to sub-domains 1 and 3 and include the substitution Asp-360 in ‘slow’ to Gln in ‘fast’ which results in an electrophoretic shift at alkaline pH. The musculature of the trunk facilitates the preparation of isoactins for biochemical study. Herring slow skeletal G-actin (Ca.ATP) is more susceptible to thermal, and urea, -induced denaturation and subtilisin cleavage than that in fast skeletal, but more stable than the counterpart in salmonids (one substitution, Gln354Ala) highlighting the critical nature of actin's carboxyl-terminal insert. Fluorescent spectra of G-actin isoforms containing the isomorphism Ser155Ala in complexation with 2′-deoxy 3′ O-(N′-Methylanthraniloyl) ATP infer similar polarity of the nucleotide binding cleft. An electrophoretic survey detected two skeletal actins in some (smelt and mackerel) but not all teleosts. One skeletal muscle actin was detected in frog and bird. |

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.
