| Abstract | The expression of many nitrogen catabolic genes decreases to low levels when readily used nitrogen sources (e.g., asparagine and glutamine) are provided in the growth medium; this physiological response is termed nitrogen catabolite repression (NCR). Transcriptional activation of these genes is mediated by the cis-acting element UASNTR and the trans-acting factor Gln3p. A second protein encoded by URE2 possesses the genetic characteristics of a negative regulator of nitrogen catabolic gene expression. A third locus, DAL80, encodes a repressor that binds to sequences required for Gln3p-dependent transcription and may compete with Gln3p for binding to them. These observations are consistent with an NCR regulatory pathway with the structure environmental signal-->Ure2p-->(Gln3p/Dal80p)-->UASNTR operation-->NCR-sensitive gene expression. If NCR-sensitive gene expression occurs exclusively by this pathway, as has been thought to be the case, then the NCR sensitivity of a gene's expression should be abolished by a ure2 delta mutation. This expectation was not realized experimentally; the responses of highly NCR-sensitive genes to ure2 delta mutations varied widely. This suggested that NCR was not mediated exclusively through Ure2p and Gln3p. We tested this idea by assaying GAP1, CAN1, DAL5, PUT1, UGA1, and GLN1 expression in single, double, and triple mutants lacking Gln3p, Dal80p, and/or Ure2p. All of these genes were expressed in the triple mutant, and this expression was NCR sensitive for four of the six genes. These results indicate that the NCR regulatory network consists of multiple branches, with the Ure2p-Gln3p-UASNTR pathway representing only one of them. |

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.
