| Abstract | We have isolated lambda transducing phages carrying the Escherichia coli primase gene (dnaG) and mapped restriction sites in the cloned bacterial DNA segments. Several different DNA fragments containing the dnaG gene were inserted into multicopy plasmids. An analysis of the primase levels in cells harboring such plasmids indicates that sequences far upstream from the dnaG gene are required for optimal primase expression. Using this knowledge, we constructed a plasmid with a thermoinducible copy-number, pRLM61, which was employed to amplify intracellular primase levels approximately 100-fold. The dnaG gene is transcribed clockwise with respect to the E. coli genetic map, and a HindIII site located 180 base pairs upstream from the dnaG gene separates the gene from its primary promoter. An apparent transcription termination signal is positioned 30-70 base pairs in front of the primase gene. Transcription proceeds past this strong terminator only when RNA polymerase has first transcribed the bacterial DNA segment proximal to the HindIII site. We suggest that primase expression in E. coli is positively regulated by a mechanism of transcription antitermination mediated by a bacterial factor. We propose, furthermore, that the neighboring structural genes for primase and for the sigma subunit of RNA polymerase are coordinately regulated as part of an operon. This arrangement may enable the bacterial cell to readily control the level of initiation of DNA and RNA synthesis and thus to respond quickly and efficiently to changing conditions. |

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.
