| Abstract | Vibrio cholerae, the agent of cholera, has two circular chromosomes. In bacteria that contain a single chromosome, initiation of chromosome DNA replication is mediated by DnaA, a AAA+ ATPase that unwinds the origin of replication. There is little knowledge regarding initiation of chromosome replication in bacteria with more than one chromosome. Here, we purified V. cholerae DnaA and RctB, which have been implicated in the replication of V. cholerae chromosome II, and characterized their activities in vitro. We found that RctB has origin-specific unwinding activity and can melt the origin of chromosome II (oriCIIvc) but not the origin of chromosome I (oriCIvc); conversely, DnaA promoted the unwinding of oriCIvc and not oriCIIvc. The activity of DnaA and several plasmid initiator proteins is stimulated by ATP binding. We found that RctB bound and hydrolyzed ATP even though RctB lacks any apparent ATP-binding motifs. However, we unexpectedly found that ATP inhibited the oriCIIvc binding activity of RctB, suggesting that the ATP-bound form of RctB cannot initiate replication of chromosome II. Supporting this idea, we identified an RctB mutant that does not bind ATP and found that expression of this ATP-blind RctB mutant in V. cholerae leads to significant overinitiation of chromosome II and marked inhibition of V. cholerae growth. These observations suggest that the rules that license the replication of the two V. cholerae chromosomes differ. |

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.
