| Abstract | Extragenic suppressor mutations which had the ability to suppress a dnaX2016(Ts) DNA polymerization defect and which concomitantly caused cold sensitivity have been characterized within the dnaA initiation gene. When these alleles (designated Cs, Sx) were moved into dnaX+ strains, the new mutants became cold sensitive and phenotypically were initiation defective at 20 degrees C (J.R. Walker, J.A. Ramsey, and W.G. Haldenwang, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 79:3340-3344, 1982). Detailed localization by marker rescue and DNA sequencing are reported here. One mutation changed codon 213 from Ala to Asp, the second changed Arg-432 to Leu, and the third changed codon 435 from Thr to Lys. It is striking that two of the three spontaneous mutations occurred in codons 432 and 435; these codons are within a very highly conserved, 12-residue region (K. Skarstad and E. Boye, Biochim. Biophys. Acta 1217:111-130, 1994; W. Messer and C. Weigel, submitted for publication) which must be critical for one of the DnaA activities. The dominance of wild-type and mutant alleles in both initiation and suppression activities was studied. First, in initiation function, the wild-type allele was dominant over the Cs, Sx alleles, and this dominance was independent of location. That is, the dnaA+ allele restored growth to dnaA (Cs, Sx) strains at 20 degrees C independently of which allele was present on the plasmid. The dnaA (Cs, Sx) alleles provided initiator function at 39 degrees C and were dominant in a dnaA(Ts) host at that temperature. On the other hand, suppression was dominant when the suppressor allele was chromosomal but recessive when it was plasmid borne. Furthermore, suppression was not observed when the suppressor allele was present on a plasmid and the chromosomal dnaA was a null allele. These data suggest that the suppressor allele must be integrated into the chromosome, perhaps at the normal dnaA location. Suppression by dnaA (Cs, Sx) did not require initiation at oriC; it was observed in strains deleted of oriC and which initiated at an integrated plasmid origin. |

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.
