| Abstract | In both invertebrates and vertebrates, transcriptional co-repressors of the Groucho/transducin-like Enhancer of split (Gro/TLE) family regulate a number of developmental mechanisms, including neuronal differentiation. The pleiotropic activity of Gro/TLE depends on context-specific interactions with a variety of DNA-binding proteins. Most of those factors engage Gro/TLE through two different types of short peptide motifs, the WRP(W/Y) tetrapeptide and the Engrailed homology 1 (Eh1) sequence (FXIXXIL). The aim of this study was to elucidate the contribution of WRP(W/Y) and Eh1 motifs to mammalian Gro/TLE anti-neurogenic activity. Here we describe point mutations within the C-terminal WD40 repeat domain of Gro/TLE1 that do not perturb protein folding but disrupt the ability of Gro/TLE1 to inhibit the differentiation of cerebral cortex neural progenitor cells into neurons. One of those mutations, L743F, selectively blocks binding to Hes1, an anti-neurogenic basic helix-loop-helix protein that harbors a WRPW motif. In contrast, the L743F mutation does not disrupt binding to Engrailed1 and FoxG1, which both contain Eh1 motifs, nor to Tcf3, which binds to the Gro/TLE N terminus. These results demonstrate that the recruitment of transcription factors harboring WRP(W/Y) tetrapeptides is essential to the anti-neurogenic function of Gro/TLE1. |

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.
