| Abstract | The cysteine desulfurase, IscS, provides sulfur for Fe-S cluster synthesis in vitro, but a role for IscS in in vivo Fe-S cluster formation has yet to be established. To study the in vivo function of IscS in Escherichia coli, a strain lacking IscS was constructed and characterized. Using this iscS deletion strain, we have observed decreased specific activities for proteins containing [4Fe-4S] clusters from soluble (aconitase B, 6-phosphogluconate dehydratase, glutamate synthase, fumarase A, and FNR) and membrane-bound proteins (NADH dehydrogenase I and succinate dehydrogenase). A specific role for IscS in in vivo Fe-S cluster assembly was demonstrated by showing that an Fe-S cluster independent mutant of FNR is unaffected by the lack of IscS. These data support the conclusion that, via its cysteine desulfurase activity, IscS provides the sulfur that subsequently becomes incorporated during in vivo Fe-S cluster synthesis. We also have characterized a growth phenotype associated with the loss of IscS. Under aerobic conditions the deletion of IscS caused an auxotrophy for thiamine and nicotinic acid, whereas under anaerobic conditions, only nicotinic acid was required. The lack of IscS also had a general effect on the growth of E. coli because the iscS deletion strain grew at half the rate of wild type in many types of media even when the auxotrophies were satisfied. |

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.
