| Abstract | Poly(A) polymerase (PAP) contains regions of similarity with several known protein domains. Through site-directed mutagenesis, we provide evidence that PAP contains a functional ribonucleoprotein-type RNA binding domain (RBD) that is responsible for primer binding, making it the only known polymerase to contain such a domain. The RBD is adjacent to, and probably overlaps with, an apparent catalytic region responsible for polymerization. Despite the presence of sequence similarities, this catalytic domain appears to be distinct from the conserved polymerase module found in a large number of RNA-dependent polymerases. PAP contains two nuclear localization signals (NLSs) in its C terminus, each by itself similar to the consensus bipartite NLS found in many nuclear proteins. Mutagenesis experiments indicate that both signals, which are separated by nearly 140 residues, play important roles in directing PAP exclusively to the nucleus. Surprisingly, basic amino acids in the N-terminal-most NLS are also essential for AAUAAA-dependent polyadenylation but not for nonspecific poly(A) synthesis, suggesting that this region of PAP is involved in interactions both with nuclear targeting proteins and with nuclear polyadenylation factors. The serine/threonine-rich C terminus is multiply phosphorylated, including at sites affected by mutations in either NLS. |

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.
