| Abstract | The yeast his3 promoter region contains two distinct classes of "TATA elements," constitutive (TC) and regulatory (TR), that are defined by their interactions with upstream promoter elements, selectivity of initiation sites, and chromatin structure. TC is localized between positions -83 and -53, and TR is localized between positions -55 and -35, regions in which there are several TATA-like sequences. In this study, we used saturation mutagenesis to examine the structural requirements of the his3 TR element necessary for transcriptional induction. To avoid the complications of redundant elements, the phenotypic analysis was carried out by using a gal-his3 hybrid promoter whose function depends on a short oligonucleotide containing the prospective his3 TR element. In this context, an oligonucleotide containing the sequence TATAAA is sufficient for TR function. However, 17 out of the 18 possible single-base substitutions and 9 out of 10 double mutations of this sequence abolish TR function. This strict sequence requirement for TR function strongly suggests that the TR element is a target site for a sequence-specific DNA-binding protein. Further, as the region encoding TC and promoters of certain other yeast genes do not contain a sequence that is compatible with TR function, we suggest that yeast cells contain multiple proteins with distinct sequence specificities that carry out a related "TATA function" and that yeast promoters can be divided into classes based on their downstream promoter elements. |

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.
