| Abstract | In response to UV irradiation, Bacillus subtilis spore DNA accumulates the unique thymine dimer 5-thyminyl-5,6-dihydrothymine, or spore photoproduct (SP). SP is broken down into monomers during spore germination by the product of the spl gene which has been proposed to encode the enzyme SP lyase. The wild-type spl gene was cloned by complementation of a mutation designated spl-1; the putative spl gene product is a 40-kDa protein whose deduced amino acid sequence contains regions homologous to DNA photolyases. During phenotypic characterization of spl subclones using transformation crosses between the cloned wild-type spl gene and an spl-1 mutant recipient, in addition to the expected transformant classes exhibiting UV-resistant (type I) and UV-sensitive (type III) spores, an additional recombinant class was observed (called type II), spores of which exhibited slower germination kinetics following UV irradiation. The results suggested that the spl-1 allele consisted of at least two separable mutations. The DNA region which could rescue the spl-1 allele was localized to a 511-bp region within the spl coding sequence; this region was amplified from the spl-1 mutant chromosome by PCR and sequenced. The region contained two amino acid substitutions, an Arg replacing Gly-168 (G168R) and an Asp replacing Gly-242 (G242D) in the deduced SP lyase sequence, as well as 18 silent mutations. PCR amplification of chromosomal DNA from a selected type II recombinant and sequence analysis of the amplification product confirmed that recombination had indeed occurred between codons 168 and 242 and further localized the point of crossover by using the 18 silent mutations as molecular markers throughout the region. By in vitro mutagenesis, alleles of spl containing all combinations of single and double amino acid substitutions were introduced into the cloned wild-type spl gene. When integrated into the B. subtilis chromosome at the amyE locus, it was observed that although both amino acid substitutions contribute to the spl-1 phenotype, the G168R mutation exerted a much greater effect than did the G242D mutation. |

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.
