| Abstract | A 36-kDa protease from Streptomyces reticuli had recently been shown to be responsible for the in vivo and in vitro processing of the 82-kDa cellulase (Avicelase) Cel-1 from S. reticuli to a 42-kDa truncated enzyme. It was induced only in the presence of Avicel, hydroxyethylcellulose, and xylan. The addition of the nonionic detergent Tween 80 to the culture medium containing Avicel as the carbon source led to a 10-fold increase in extracellular proteolytic activity. The protease, which has an isoelectric point of 3.9, was purified to homogeneity from the culture filtrate by a combination of anion-exchange and hydrophobic-interaction chromatographies and was characterized biochemically. The enzyme hydrolyzed gelatin and the chromogenic substrates Azocoll, Azocasein, and Azoalbumin. Its highest activity was determined between pH 7.0 and 7.7 and at 55°C. The proteolytic activity was inhibited by 1,10-phenanthroline and EDTA; however, no metal ions were detected to be associated with the protein. The protease was stable in the presence of 1 M urea and 0.01 M sodium dodecyl sulfate. The inhibitory effect of alpha-2-macroglobulin indicated an endo-mode of proteolytic cleavage. Studies with lectins and sugar analysis by mass spectroscopy indicated that the cellulase (Avicelase) Cel-1 was neither N nor O glycosylated. Its processing by the protease occurred at temperatures ranging from 30 to 55°C, pH 7.5, in the presence of 2 mM dithiothreitol. |

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.
