| Abstract | Subunit b of Escherichia coli F1F0 ATP synthase contains a large hydrophilic region thought to be involved in the interaction between F1 and F0. Oligonucleotide-directed mutagenesis was used to evaluate the functional importance of a segment of this region from Glu-77 through Gln-85. The mutagenesis procedure employed a phagemid DNA template and a doped oligonucleotide primer designed to generate a predetermined collection of missense mutations in the target segment. Sixty-one mutant phagemids were identified and shown to contain nucleotide substitutions encoding 37 novel missense mutations. Mutations were isolated singly or in combinations of up to four mutations per recombinant phagemid. F1F0 ATP synthase function was studied by mutant phagemid complementation of a novel E. coli strain in which the uncF (b) gene was deleted. Complementation was assessed by observing growth on solid succinate minimal medium. Many phagemid-encoded uncF (b) gene mutations in the targeted segment resulted in growth phenotypes indistinguishable from those of strains expressing the native b subunit, suggesting abundant F1F0 ATP synthase activity. In contrast, several specific mutations were associated with a loss of enzyme function. Phagemids specifying the Ala-79----Pro, Arg-82----Pro, Arg-83----Pro, or Gln-85----Pro mutation failed to complement uncF (b) gene-deficient E. coli. F1F0 ATP synthase displayed the greatest sensitivity to mutations altering a single site in the target segment, Ala-79. The evidence suggests that Ala-79 occupies a restricted position in the enzyme complex. |

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.
