| Abstract | Plasmids containing a direct repeat of plasmid R388 oriT are capable of site-specific recombination, which results in deletion of the intervening DNA. This reaction occurs in the presence, but not in the absence, of the region of R388 implicated in DNA processing during conjugation. This region contains three genes, trwA, trwB, and trwC. By using mutants of each of the three genes, it was demonstrated that only trwC is required for the oriT-specific recombination. Further analysis showed that the N-terminal 272 amino acids of the protein are sufficient to catalyze recombination. TrwC is also capable of promoting intermolecular recombination between two plasmids containing oriT, suggesting that double-strand breaks in both plasmid DNAs are involved in the process. Additionally, intramolecular recombination between R388 oriT and R46 oriT did not occur in the presence of both nickases. This suggests that the half-reactions at each oriT are not productive if they occur separately; therefore, an interaction between the recombination complexes formed at each recombining site is required. This is the first report in which a nicking-closing enzyme involved in conjugal DNA transfer promotes oriT-specific recombination of double-stranded DNA in the absence of conjugation. |

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.
