| Abstract | Sakacin A is an antilisterial bacteriocin produced by Lactobacillus sake Lb706. In order to identify genes involved in sakacin A production and immunity, the plasmid fraction of L. sake Lb706 was shotgun cloned directly into a sakacin A-nonproducing and -sensitive variant, L. sake Lb706-B, by using the broad-host-range vector pVS2. Two clones that produced sakacin A and were immune to the bacteriocin were obtained. A DNA fragment of approximately 1.8 kb, derived from a 60-kb plasmid of strain Lb706 and present in the inserts of both clones, was necessary for restoration of sakacin A production and immunity in strain Lb706-B. The sequence of the 1.8-kb fragment from one of the clones was determined. It contained one large open reading frame, designated sakB, potentially encoding a protein of 430 amino acid residues. Hybridization and nucleotide sequence analyses revealed that the cloned sakB complemented a mutated copy of sakB present in strain Lb706-B. The sakB gene mapped 1.6 kb from the previously cloned structural gene for sakacin A (sakA) on the 60-kb plasmid. The putative SakB protein shared 22% amino acid sequence identity (51% similarity if conservative changes are considered) to AgrB, the deduced amino acid sequence of the Staphylococcus aureus gene agrB. The polycistronic agr (accessory gene regulator) locus is involved in the regulation of exoprotein synthesis in S. aureus. Similar to the AgrB protein, SakB had some features in common with a family of transmembrane histidine protein kinases, involved in various adaptive response systems of bacteria.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) |

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.
