| Abstract | We have purified uracil DNA-glycosylase (UDG) from calf thymus 32,000-fold and studied its biochemical properties, including sequence specificity. The enzyme is apparently closely related to human UDG, since it was recognised by a polyclonal antibody directed towards human UDG. SDS-PAGE and western analysis indicate an apparent M(r) = 27,500. Bovine UDG has a 1.7-fold preference for single stranded over double stranded DNA as a substrate. Sequence specificity for uracil removal from dsDNA was examined for bovine and Escherichia coli UDG, using DNA containing less than one dUMP residue per 100 nucleotides and synthetic oligonucleotides containing one dUMP residue. Comparative studies involving about 40 uracil sites indicated similar specificities for both UDGs. We found more than a 10-fold difference in rates of uracil removal between different sequences. 5'-G/CUT-3' and 5'-G/CUG/C-3' were consensus sequences for poor repair whereas 5'-A/TUAA/T-3' was a consensus for good repair. Sequence specificity was verified in double stranded oligonucleotides, but not in single stranded ones, suggesting that the structure of the double stranded DNA helix has influence on sequence specificity. Rate of uracil removal appeared to be slightly faster from U:A base pairs as compared to U:G mis-matches. The results indicate that sequence specific repair may be a determinant to be considered in mutagenesis. |

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.
