| Abstract | The spf gene of Escherichia coli encodes an unstable 109-nucleotide RNA, spot 42 RNA; the level of this RNA was reduced three- to fivefold when cells were grown in the presence of 3',5'-cyclic AMP (cAMP). We show that this regulation occurs through reduction in transcription and depends on both cAMP and the cAMP receptor protein (CRP) but is independent of the de novo protein synthesis. Through deletion analysis of the spf gene promoter, we have identified sequences that are important in the synthesis of spot 42 RNA. Deletion of sequences upstream of -77 completely eliminated the negative control of cAMP-CRP and resulted in high constitutive levels of transcription. This region contained a sequence that both conformed to the consensus binding site for cAMP-CRP in positively regulated promoters and acted as a cAMP-CRP binding site in a gel retardation assay. Deletion of sequences between positions -77 and -60 greatly reduced the level of transcription in the presence or absence of cAMP-CRP, indicating that at least part of this region is a binding site for a positive-acting transcription factor (or RNA polymerase itself). We propose that the proximity of the two sites defined here allows for the negative control of spf gene transcription by cAMP-CRP. In particular, if only one site at a time can be occupied, the binding of cAMP-CRP would interfere with the binding of a transcription factor. |

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.
