| Abstract | Chorismic acid is the common precursor for the biosynthesis of the three aromatic amino acids as well as for four vitamins. Mutants of Escherichia coli defective in any of the genes involved in the synthesis of chorismic acid are also unable to synthesize uridine 5-oxyacetic acid (cmo5U) and its methyl ester (mcmo5U). Both modified nucleosides are normally present in the wobble position of some tRNA species. Mutants defective in any of the specific pathways leading to phenylalanine, tyrosine, tryptophan, folate, enterochelin, ubiquinone, and menaquinone have normal levels of cmo5U and mcmo5U in their tRNA. The presence of shikimic acid in the growth medium restores the ability of an aroD mutant to synthesize cmo5U, while O-succinylbenzoate, which is an early intermediate in the synthesis of menaquinone, does not. Thus, chorismic acid is a key metabolite in the synthesis of these two modified nucleosides in tRNA. The absence of chorismic acid blocks the formation of cmo5U and mcmo5U at the first step, which might be the formation of 5-hydroxyuridine. This results in an unmodified U in the wobble position of tRNA(1Val) and in most of the tRNAs normally containing cmo5U and mcmo5U. Since cmo5U and mcmo5U are synthesized under anaerobic conditions, the formation of these nucleosides does not require molecular oxygen. One of the carbon atoms of the side chain, --O--CH2--COOH, originates from the methyl group of methionine. The other carbon atom does not originate directly from the C-1 pool, from the carboxyl group methionine, or from bicarbonate. This metabolic link between intermediary metabolism and translation also exists for another member of the family Enterobacteriaceae, Salmonella typhimurium, as well as for the distantly related gram-positive organism Bacillus subtilis. |

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.
