| Abstract | Inner membrane Tet proteins encoded by tet genes in gram-negative bacteria mediate resistance to tetracycline (Tcr) by directing its export. Total sequences for class A, B, and C tet genes demonstrate that their products have a common ancestor, with Tet(A) and Tet(C) being more closely related (78% identical) than either is to Tet(B) (45% identical). The N- and C-terminal halves of Tet(B) and Tet(C) appear to comprise separate domains, and trans-complementation observed between tetracycline sensitive mutants in either domain of Tet(B) suggests separate but interactive functions for these domains. In this present study, interdomain hybrid genes were constructed to express hybrid tet products whose N- and C-terminal halves were derived from different family members [Tet(A/C), Tet(B/C), and Tet(C/B)]. Tet(A/C) specified a level of Tcr comparable to wild-type Tet(C) and 60% that of Tet(A), indicating that domains from these closely related tet products can function in cis. Although neither Tet(B/C) nor Tet(C/B) hybrids conferred significant Tcr, cells producing both of these types of hybrid proteins expressed substantial Tcr, indicating that productive interactions can occur in trans between Tet(B/C) and Tet(C/B). Taken together, these results suggest that highly specific interactions between the N- and C-terminal domains are necessary for Tcr and do not occur in individual hybrids derived from the more distant relatives, Tet(B) and Tet(C). This requirement for specific interactions suggests that N- and C-terminal domains have coevolved in each member of the Tet family. |

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.
