| Abstract | DnrN, a protein essential for the transcription of the dnrI gene, which in turn activates transcription of the daunorubicin biosynthesis genes in Streptomyces peucetius, was overproduced in Escherichia coli and S. peucetius. The cell-free extract from E. coli was used to conduct DNA-binding assays. The results of gel mobility shift analysis showed that DnrN binds specifically to the dnrI promoter region with a high affinity (Kd = 50 nM). Neither acetyl phosphate nor ATP affected the binding ability, and there was no difference in binding between wild-type DnrN and a mutant form (D-55-->N) lacking the putative phosphorylation site (aspartate 55) of a response regulator protein. Therefore, phosphorylation of DnrN apparently is not necessary for DNA binding. DNase I footprinting analysis indicated binding regions at 37 to 55 bp and 62 to 100 bp upstream of the transcriptional start point of dnrI. Interestingly, the sequence of these regions includes consecutive overlapping triplets [5'-(A/T)GC, 5'-(A/T)CG, 5'-(A/T)C(A/T)] that have been shown to be the preferential binding site of daunorubicin (J. B. Chaires and J. E. Herrera, Biochemistry 29:6145-6153, 1990). This may explain why daunorubicin appeared to inhibit the binding of DnrN to the dnrI promoter, which could result in feedback repression of daunorubicin production. The results of Western blotting (immunoblotting) analysis with His-tagged DnrN antiserum showed that dnrN expression is coincident with daunorubicin production and that the maximum level of DnrN is 0.01% of total protein in the wild-type S. peucetius strain. Since the level of DnrN was lowered in mutant strains that do not produce daunorubicin, we speculate that dnrN and dnrI expression are regulated by daunorubicin. |

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.
