| Abstract | Two Tn5 lac insertions into the Myxococcus genome at sites omega 4414 and omega 4473, which are separated by 550 nucleotides, inactivate fruiting body development. Sporulation is decreased 100- to 10,000-fold. At least two genes, devR and devS, are transcribed in this region, probably as an operon. Expression of devR begins by 6 h after starvation has initiated development. On the basis of their nucleotide sequences, devR and devS are expected to encode proteins of 302 and 214 amino acids, respectively. Dev+ function can be restored by a segment of 7.8 kb cloned from the devRS region of wild-type cells. Two experiments show that devR expression is under strong negative autoregulation. beta-Galactosidase is expressed at a higher level from a transcriptional devR::lacZ fusion when the fused operon is in a dev strain than when it is in the dev/dev+ genetic background of a partial diploid. There is more mRNA accumulation from the devRS region in the dev strain than in a rescued dev/dev+ tandem duplication strain. Sporulation rescue is correlated with some degree of negative autoregulation, even though sporulation is not inversely proportional to beta-galactosidase expression from omega 4414. A second level of regulation is suggested by complementation of dev by dev+ in duplication strains. The expression of devRS, measured by sporulation levels, differs 1,000-fold when devRS+ is moved from a distance of 20 kb to 3 Mb from the mutant devRS locus. Expression of devR is also dependent on the cell density at which development is initiated, a third level of regulation. Multiple levels of regulation suggest that devRS is a switch required to activate completion of aggregation and sporulation. |

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.
