| Abstract | A homolog of the mmsA gene of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, which encodes methylmalonic acid semialdehyde dehydrogenase (MSDH) and is involved in valine catabolism in pseudomonads and mammals, was cloned and sequenced from Streptomyces coelicolor. Of the two open reading frames (ORFs) found, which are convergently transcribed and separated by a 62-nucleotide noncoding region, the deduced amino acid sequence of the msdA ORF (homologous to mmsA) is similar to a variety of prokaryotic and eukaryotic aldehyde dehydrogenases that utilize NAD+, particularly to the MmsA protein from P. aeruginosa. No significant similarity was found between the deduced product of ORF1 and known proteins in the databases. An S. coelicolor msdA mutant, constructed by insertion of a hygromycin resistance gene (hyg) into the msdA coding region, lost the MSDH activity and the ability to grow in a minimal medium with valine or isobutyrate as the sole carbon source but grew on propionate. The msdA::hyg mutation was complemented by introduction of the msdA gene on a plasmid. When the S. coelicolor msdA gene was overexpressed in Escherichia coli under the control of the T7 promoter, a protein of 51-kDa, corresponding to the approximate mass of the predicted S. coelicolor msdA product (52.6 kDa), and specific MSDH activity were detected. These results strongly suggest that msdA indeed encodes the MSDH that is involved in valine catabolism in S. coelicolor. |

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.
