| Abstract | The regulation of phosphatidylserine (PS) distribution across the plasma membrane of eukaryotic cells has been implicated in numerous cell functions (e.g. apoptosis and coagulation). In a recent study, fluorescent phospholipids labeled in the acyl chain with 7-nitrobenz-2-oxa-1, 3-diazol-4-yl (NBD) were used to identify two members of the P4 subfamily of P-type ATPases, Dnf1p and Dnf2p, that are necessary for the inward-directed transport of phospholipids across the plasma membrane (flip) of yeast ( Pomorski, T., Lombardi, R., Riezman, H., Devaux, P. F., Van Meer, G., and Holthuis, J. C. (2003) Mol. Biol. Cell 14, 1240-1254 ). Herein, we present evidence that the flip of NBD-labeled PS (NBD-PS) across the plasma membrane does not require the expression of Dnf1p or Dnf2p. In strains in which DNF1 and DNF2 are both deleted, the flip of NBD-PS is increased approximately 2-fold over that of the isogenic parent strain, whereas the flip of NBD-labeled phosphatidylcholine and NBD-labeled phosphatidylethanolamine are reduced to approximately 20 and approximately 50%, respectively. The mechanism responsible for NBD-PS flip is similar to that for NBD-labeled phosphatidylcholine and NBD-labeled phosphatidylethanolamine in its dependence on cellular ATP and the plasma membrane proton electrochemical gradient, as well as its regulation by the transcription factors Pdr1p and Pdr3p. Based on the observation that deletion or inactivation of all four members of the DRS2/DNF essential subfamily of P-type ATPases does not affect NBD-PS flip, we conclude that the activity reflected by NBD-PS internalization is not the essential function of the DRS2/DNF subfamily of P-type ATPases. |

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.
