| Abstract | Rhizobium leguminosarum bv. trifolii pssA encodes a glucosyl-isoprenylphosphate (IP)-transferase involved in the first step of exopolysaccharide (EPS) synthesis. It was found that the pssA gene is an important target for regulation of this biosynthetic pathway. The data of this study indicate that pssA transcription is a very complex and mainly positively regulated process. A detailed analysis of a 767-bp-long pssA upstream region revealed the presence of several sequence motifs recognized by regulatory proteins that are associated with phosphate-, carbon-, and iron-dependent regulation. In addition, numerous inverted repeats of different lengths have been identified in this region. pssA transcription is directed from two distal P1 and proximal P3 promoters whose sequences demonstrate a significant identity to promoters recognized by RNA polymerase sigma factor σ70. Among rhizobial proteins, RosR seems to be a primary regulator that positively affects pssA expression. This protein binds to RosR box 1 located downstream of the P1 promoter. In addition, phosphate and the carbon source strongly affect pssA transcription. A significantly lower level of pssA expression was observed in both the wild-type strain growing under phosphate-rich conditions and the phoB mutant. In this regulation, the PhoB protein and Pho box 2 located upstream of the P3 promoter were engaged. pssA transcription is also significantly affected by glucose. Transcriptional analysis of a set of pssA-lacZ fusions expressed in Escherichia coli wild-type and cyaA and crp mutants confirmed that cyclic AMP (cAMP) receptor protein (CRP) and two cAMP-CRP boxes located upstream of the P1 are required for this upregulation. Moreover, the production of EPS was totally abolished in R. leguminosarum bv. trifolii mutant strains 4440 and 1012 containing a Tn5 insertion downstream of the P3 promoter and downstream of the P3 −35 hexamer, respectively. |

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.
