| Abstract | Adenovirus requires the virus-encoded single-stranded DNA-binding protein (DBP) to replicate its DNA. We have previously shown (M. Tsuji, P. C. van der Vliet, and G. R. Kitchingman, J. Biol. Chem. 266:16178-16187, 1991) that the inability of three temperature-sensitive (ts) mutant DBPs (Ad2+ ND1ts23, Ad2ts111A, and Ad5ts125) to support DNA replication at the nonpermissive temperature was associated with impaired ability to bind to DNA. In this study, we examined these mutant proteins for structural alterations that might be linked to the functional changes. All three ts mutants, but not the wild-type protein, showed different proteolytic cleavage patterns before and after heating at 40 degrees C (the nonpermissive temperature), suggesting a possible conformational change during heating. The Ad2+ND1ts23 and Ad2ts111A DBPs have single amino acid changes located in a putative zinc finger subdomain (positions 282 and 280). In the presence of zinc ions, these ts mutants showed significantly increased resistance to inactivation at 40 degrees C. Surprisingly, however, the stabilizing effect of zinc was also observed with the Ad5ts125DBP, which contains a mutation located more than 100 amino acids from the zinc finger. Other related metal ions, such as cobalt, cadmium, and mercury, did not protect the ts DBPs from inactivation at 40 degrees C. These results indicate that functional changes of the ts DBPs in DNA replication and DNA binding are accompanied by structural alterations in the protein and that zinc and the metal-binding subdomain may play an important role in the structure and/or function of the DBP. |

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.
