| Abstract | N-acetylneuraminic acid at the surfaces of rat cerebral cortex and liver mitochondria and derived mitoplasts (inner membrane plus matrix particles) was studied biochemically and electrokinetically. Rat cerebral cortex mitochondria in 0.0145 M NaCl, 4.5% sorbitol, pH 7.2 +/- 0.1, 0.6 mM NaHCO(3), had an electrophoretic mobility of - 2.88 +/- 0.01 micro/sec per v per cm. In the same solution the electrophoretic mobility of rat liver mitochondria was - 2.01 +/- 0.02, of rat liver mitoplasts was - 1.22 +/- 0.07, and of rat cerebral cortex mitoplasts - 0.91 +/- 0.04 micro/sec per v per cm. Treatment of these particles with 50 microg neuraminidase/mg particle protein resulted in the following electrophoretic mobilities in micro/sec per v per cm: rat cerebral cortex mitochondria, - 2.27; rat liver mitochondria, - 1.40; rat cerebral cortex mitoplasts, - 0.78; and rat liver mitoplasts, - 1.10. Rat liver mitochondria, mitoplasts, and outer mitochondrial membranes contained 2.0, 1.1, and 4.1 nmoles of sialic acid/mg protein, respectively. 10% of the liver mitochondrial protein and 27.5% of the sialic acid was solubilized in the mitoplast and outer membrane isolation procedure. Rat cerebral cortex mitochondria, mitoplasts, and outer mitochondrial membranes contained 3.1, 0.8, and 6.2 nmoles sialic acid/mg protein, respectively; 10% of the brain mitochondrial protein and 49 % of the sialic acid was solubilized in the mitoplast and outer membrane isolation solution procedure. Treatment of both the rat liver and cerebral cortex mitochondria with 50 microg neuraminidase (dry weight) /mg protein resulted in the release of about 50% of the available outer membrane sialic acid residues. Treatment of all of the particles with trypsin caused release of sialic acid but did not greatly affect the particle electrophoretic mobility. In each instance, curves of pH vs. electrophoretic mobility indicated that the particle surface contained an acid dissociable group, most likely a carboxyl group of sialic acid with pK(a) approximately 2.7. Treatment of either the rat liver or the cerebral cortex mitochondria with trypsinized concanavalin A did not affect the particle electrophoretic mobility but did cause a decrease in the electrophoretic mobility of L5178Y mouse leukemic cells. |

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.
