| Abstract | The black tiger shrimp (Penaeus monodon) is economically important in many parts of the world, including Thailand. Shrimp immunity is similar to that of other invertebrate organisms; it consists of an innate immunity system. Toll or Toll-like receptors (TLRs) play an essential role in recognizing the cleaved form of the cytokine Spätzle, which is processed by a series of proteolytic cascades activated by secreted recognition molecules. We isolated a full-length Toll receptor from P. monodon. The cloned full-length sequence of the PmToll cDNA consists of 4144 nucleotides, containing a 5'-UTR with 366 nucleotides, a 3'-terminal UTR with 985 nucleotides, with a classical polyadenylation signal sequence AATAAA, a poly A-tail with 27 nucleotides, and an open reading frame coding for 931 amino acids. The deduced amino acid sequence of PmToll is a typical type I membrane domain protein, characteristic of TLR functional domains. It includes a putative signal peptide, an extracellular domain consisting of leucine-rich repeats, flanked by cysteine-rich motifs, a single-pass transmembrane portion, and a cytoplasmic TLR domain. PmToll was expressed in all tissues tested, including gill, hemocytes, heart, hepatopancreas, lymphoid organs, muscle, nerve, pleopod, stomach, testis, and ovary. The deduced amino acid of PmToll is closely related to that of other shrimp Tolls, especially FcToll. Further studies elucidating the mechanism of action of Tolls will be of benefit for understanding the defense mechanisms of this economically important aquatic species. |

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.
