| Abstract | In Escherichia coli, the transport and catabolism of nucleosides require expression of the genes composing the CytR regulon. The role of the CytR repressor in transcriptional regulation has been examined through a study of mutant CytR proteins. Two important and interrelated CytR mutants are encoded by cytR delta M149, a dominant negative allele, and cytRC289R. Studies with CytR delta M149 indicated that the native, repression-competent CytR protein is multimeric while the CytR amino acid substitution C-289-->R has been proposed to affect subunit oligomerization on the basis of its ability to suppress the transdominance of CytR delta M149. The present study identifies other CytR amino acid residues proximal to Cys-289 that may also participate in normal subunit oligomerization. Mutations in these CytR residues, cytRA307P, cytRM308R, and cytRL309P, encoded inactive repressors in a CytR- background and, when combined with cytR delta M149, yielded hybrid repressors that were recessive in a CytR+ genetic background. Because the stability and solubility observed for the new, mutant CytR proteins and the wild-type CytR protein were indistinguishable, these residue replacements, like the C-289-->R substitution, are envisaged as being located at the subunit interface and thus suppress the CytR delta M149 transdominance by blocking efficient and stable assembly of wild-type and hybrid CytR subunits. The assignment of CytR amino acids to a protein region involved in subunit association is also consistent with the observations that these CytR amino acids are roughly colinear with regions of the LacI repressor that influence monomer-dimer association and would be surface located by alignment to the E. coli galactose-binding protein crystal structure. |

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.
