| Abstract | Examination of the effect of the himA and himD mutants of E. coli on the maintenance of plasmid R6K has revealed that the gamma origin-containing replicons cannot be established in any of the mutants deficient in the production of E. coli Integration Host Factor (IHF). Contrary, the R6K derivatives containing other origins of the plasmid (alpha and/or beta) replicate in a host lacking functional IHF protein. We show that IHF protein binds specifically to a segment of the replication region which is essential for the activity of all three R6K origins. Mapping the IHF binding sequence with neocarzinostatin showed that the protein protects three segments of the origin: two strong binding sites reside within an AT-rich block, while the third, considerably weaker site is separated from the other two by a cluster of the seven 22 bp direct repeats. These seven repeats have been shown previously to bind the R6K-encoded initiator protein pi. We also demonstrate that the establishment of pi-origin complexes prior to IHF addition prevents the binding of the IHF protein to the gamma origin. The binding sequences of IHF and pi proteins do not overlap, therefore, we propose that the binding of pi protein alters the structure of the DNA and thereby prevents the subsequent binding of IHF protein. |

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.
