| Abstract | IM-2 [(2R,3R,1'R)-2-(1'-hydroxybutyl)-3-(hydroxymethyl)butanolide] of Streptomyces sp. strain FRI-5 is one of the butyrolactone autoregulators of Streptomyces species and triggers production of blue pigment as well as the nucleoside antibiotics showdomycin and minimycin. A tritium-labeled IM-2 analogue, 2,3-trans-2(1'-beta-hydroxy-[4',5'-3H]pentyl)-3-(hydroxymethyl)butano lide ([3H]IM-2-C5; 40 Ci/mmol), was synthesized for a competitive binding assay, and an IM-2-specific binding protein was found to be present in the crude cell extract of Streptomyces sp. strain FRI-5. During cultivation for 24 h, the specific IM-2-binding activity increased rapidly, reached a plateau at 10 to 14 h, and declined sharply thereafter, showing only 6% activity after 24 h of cultivation. A Scatchard plot of the binding data demonstrated that the dissociation constant (Kd) for [3H]IM-2-C5 was 1.3 nM, while the Kd for a 3H-labeled virginiae butanolide (VB) analogue, 2-(1'-alpha-hydroxy-[6',7'-3H]heptyl)-3-(hydroxymethyl)butanolide ([3H]VB-C7), another butyrolactone autoregulator possessing the opposite configuration at C-1' was 35 nM. Furthermore, at a 15-fold molar excess, the effectiveness of several autoregulators as nonlabeled competitive ligands against [3H]IM-2-C5 was IM-2 type > VB-C type >> A-factor type, indicating that the binding protein in Streptomyces sp. strain FRI-5 is highly specific toward IM-2. Ultracentrifugation showed that the IM-2-binding protein is present almost exclusively in the 100,000 x g supernatant fraction, indicating that the binding protein is a cytoplasmic soluble protein. The binding protein was purified by ammonium sulfate precipitation, DEAE-Sephacel chromatography, Sephacryl S-100 HR gel filtration, DEAE-5PW high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), and phenyl-5PW HPLC. The apparent Mr of the native IM-2-binding protein as determined by molecular sieve HPLC was about 60,000 in the presence of 0.5, 0.3, or 0.1 M KCl, while by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis it was about 27,000, suggesting that the native binding protein is present in the form of a dimer. |

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.
