| Abstract | A gene encoding a polypeptide of 25 kDa is located immediately upstream of the gene for ribosomal protein S1, rpsA. In high gene copy number, this gene, mssA, was previously found to suppress defects in smbA, which is now known to be identical to pyrH, encoding UMP kinase. We show here that the 25-kDa polypeptide comprises CMP kinase and propose that the gene be designated cmk. In a strain deleted for cmk, the pools of CMP and dCMP were elevated approximately 30-fold. We constructed a plasmid from which synthesis of CMP kinase was regulated by the lac promoter-operator and measured the synthesis rates for RNA and DNA after induction in the delta cmk/lacPO-cmk+ strain. A specific increase in the rate of DNA synthesis was observed. Further analyses showed that the replication elongation rate was halved in the delta cmk strain, most likely caused by the reductions of the dCTP and dTTP pools to 30 and 70%, respectively, of the levels in the parental strain, but that this was compensated for by a doubling in the frequency of initiation. The delta cmk strain is viable at 37 degrees C but cold sensitive. The cold sensitivity may be related to defects in the synthesis of phospholipids or lipopolysaccharides. In addition to the physiological studies, the region upstream of cmk was sequenced, and 120 codons with strong homology to an uncharacterized protein of the speB operon were identified. |

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.
