| Abstract | CcdA, the antidote protein of the ccd post-segregational killing system carried by the F plasmid, was degraded in vitro by purified Lon protease from Escherichia coli. CcdA had a low affinity for Lon (Km ≥200 µM), and the peptide bond turnover number was ∼10 min−1. CcdA formed tight complexes with purified CcdB, the killer protein encoded in the ccd operon, and fluorescence and hydrodynamic measurements suggested that interaction with CcdB converted CcdA to a more compact conformation. CcdB prevented CcdA degradation by Lon and blocked the ability of CcdA to activate the ATPase activity of Lon, suggesting that Lon may recognize bonding domains of proteins exposed when their partners are absent. Degradation of CcdA required ATP hydrolysis; however, CcdA41, consisting of the carboxyl-terminal 41 amino acids of CcdA and lacking the α-helical secondary structure present in CcdA, was degraded without ATP hydrolysis. Lon cleaved CcdA primarily between aliphatic and hydrophilic residues, and CcdA41 was cleaved at the same peptide bonds, indicating that ATP hydrolysis does not affect cleavage specificity. CcdA lost α-helical structure at elevated temperatures (Tm ∼50°C), and its degradation became independent of ATP hydrolysis at this temperature. ATP hydrolysis may be needed to disrupt interactions that stabilize the secondary structure of proteins allowing the disordered protein greater access to the proteolytic active sites. |

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.
