| Abstract | We cloned the Schizosaccharomyces pombe map1 gene by virtue of its ability to stimulate transcription of the sxa2 gene, which encodes a carboxypeptidase expressed specifically in h- cells in response to mating-pheromone signaling. The cloned gene had a coding capacity of 398 amino acids split by two introns, and the deduced product was a protein of the MADS box family. This gene was most similar to Saccharomyces cerevisiae MCM1, which regulates cell-type-specific gene expression in budding yeast cells. Disruption of the S. pombe gene did not affect vegetative cell growth but conferred sterility. It blocked the mating ability of h+ cells completely and that of h- cells partially. Genetic and sequencing analysis indicated that the cloned gene is map1], which was originally defined by a mutation that caused h+-speciftic sterility. Northern (RNA) blot analysis showed that the function of map1 is absolutely essential for the expression of h+-specific genes and is required for the full activation of h--specific gene expression. Overexpression of map1 resulted in enhanced transcription of cell-type-specilic genes, but the range of genes affected by Map1 was restricted by the mating type of the cell. Results of yeast two-hybrid analysis suggested that Map1 may physically interact with Mat1-Pc, the product of the h(+)-specific mating-type gene mat1-Pc. On the basis of these observations, we speculate that Map1 may be a transcriptional regulator of cell-type-specific genes similar to S. cerevisiae MCM1, whose activity is modulated by the oil and alpha2 mating-type gene products. |

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.
