| Abstract | The Escherichia coli K-12 hisT gene has been cloned, and its organization and expression have been analyzed on multicopy plasmids. The hisT gene, which encodes tRNA pseudouridine synthase I (PSUI), was isolated on a Clarke-Carbon plasmid known to contain the purF gene. The presence of the hisT gene on this plasmid was suggested by its ability to restore both production of PSUI enzymatic activity and suppression of amber mutations in a hisT mutant strain. A 2.3-kilobase HindIII-ClaI restriction fragment containing the hisT gene was subcloned into plasmid pBR322, and the resulting plasmid (designated psi 300) was mapped with restriction enzymes. Complementation analysis with different kinds of hisT mutations and tRNA structural analysis confirmed that plasmid psi 300 contained the hisT structural gene. Enzyme assays showed that plasmid psi 300 overproduced PSUI activity by ca. 20-fold compared with the wild-type level. Subclones containing restriction fragments from plasmid psi 300 inserted downstream from the lac promoter established that the hisT gene is oriented from the HindIII site toward the ClaI site. Other subclones and derivatives of plasmid psi 300 containing insertion or deletion mutations were constructed and assayed for production of PSUI activity and production of proteins in minicells. These experiments showed that: (i) the proximal 1.3-kilobase HindIII-BssHII restriction fragment contains a promoter for the hisT gene and encodes a 45,000-dalton polypeptide that is not PSUI; (ii) the distal 1.0-kilobase BssHII-ClaI restriction fragment encodes the 31,000-dalton PSUI polypeptide; (iii) the 45,000-dalton polypeptide is synthesized in an approximately eightfold excess compared with PSUI; and (iv) synthesis of the two polypeptides is coupled, suggesting that the two genes are part of an operon. Insertion of mini-Mu d1 (lac Km) phage into plasmid psi 300 confirmed that the hisT gene is the downstream gene in the operon. |

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.
