| Abstract | The transcription factor GAL4 from Saccharomyces cerevisiae contains a "zinc-finger"-like motif, Cys-Xaa2-Cys-Xaa6-Cys-Xaa6-Cys-Xaa2-Cys-Xaa6+ ++-Cys, within its DNA-binding domain. A GAL4 fragment consisting of residues 1-147 plus two additional residues from the cloning vector [denoted GAL4(149*)] has been cloned and overexpressed in Escherichia coli. This fragment includes the entire DNA-binding domain (residues 1-74). The homogeneous GAL4-(149*) protein contains 1-1.5 moles of Zn(II) per mole of protein. The GAL4(149*) protein binds tightly to the specific 17-base-pair palindromic DNA sequence found at GAL4 binding sites as shown by gel-retention assays using a 32P-labeled 23-mer containing this sequence. Removal of the intrinsic Zn(II) by EDTA at low pH abolishes binding to the 23-mer. The GAL4(149*) apoprotein can be reconstituted with Zn(II), Cd(II), or Co(II) with restoration of specific DNA binding. Titration of GAL4(149*) apoprotein with 113Cd(II) shows two 113Cd(II) binding sites on the molecule, one with delta of 707 ppm, suggesting coordination to four sulfur atoms, and one with delta of 669 ppm, suggesting coordination to three or four sulfur atoms. Because GAL4(149*) protein contains only six cysteine residues within its DNA-binding domain, the precise coordination of the two Cd(II) ions cannot be stated with certainty; one or more shared -S- ligands could exist. GAL4(149*) protein contains approximately 40% alpha-helix and approximately 20% beta-sheet, estimated from circular dichroism. Removal of the native Zn(II) ion causes limited unfolding of secondary structure, but less than one turn of alpha-helix. The binding of Zn(II), Cd(II), and, to a lesser extent, Co(II) to GAL4(149*) apoprotein protects the protein from proteolysis by trypsin, which produces a 13-kDa DNA-binding core. |

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.
