| Abstract | The MdoH protein is essential for synthesis of the osmoregulated periplasmic glucans, known as membrane-derived oligosaccharides (MDOs), in Escherichia coli. Mutants lacking MdoH are deficient in a glucosyltransferase activity assayed in vitro. The MdoH protein is the product of the second gene of an operon, and it has been shown to span the cytoplasmic membrane. The MdoH protein comprises 847 amino acids and is poorly expressed as observed by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. We have experimentally measured the topological organization of MdoH within the membrane by construction of fusions to beta-lactamase as a reporter. Analysis of 51 different MdoH-beta-lactamase fusions suggested that the MdoH protein crosses the cytoplasmic membrane eight times, with the N and C termini in the cytoplasm. Moreover, a 310-amino-acid domain is present in the cytoplasm between the second and third transmembrane segments. It was deduced from the measurement of the MDO biosynthetic activity of truncated or fused MdoH proteins that almost all the C-terminal residues are necessary for this activity. The model of the MdoH protein in the membrane suggests that this protein could be directly involved in the translocation of nascent polyglucose chains to the periplasmic space. |

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.
