| Abstract | Mutations in the supX locus, which result in the absence of DNA topoisomerase I enzyme activity in both Salmonella typhimurium and Escherichia coli, are all selected as suppressors of the leu-500 promoter mutation in S. typhimurium. To determine whether the supX locus is the structural gene topA for the DNA topoisomerase I enzyme or is a positive-acting regulator/activator gene for a nearby topA structural gene, nonsense mutations were selected in the E. coli supX gene carried on an F' episome in S. typhimurium cells. The cysB-topA region of the episomes with nonsense-mutant supX alleles were then cloned onto plasmid pBR322 and transformed into E. coli cells lacking a chromosomal supX gene. Three such E. coli strains, each carrying cloned DNA from episomes with different nonsense-mutant supX alleles, all lacked DNA topoisomerase I activity but expressed antigenic determinants specific to the enzyme; control cells lacked both enzyme activity and antigenic determinants. Maxicell studies of plasmid-coded proteins demonstrated the absence of the DNA topoisomerase I protein (100 kDa) in the three strains but the appearance of a new smaller peptide in each (36, 47, and 64 kDa). These new peptides must represent fragments of the enzyme resulting from translation termination at the supX nonsense codons and confirm the interpretation that the supX gene is topA, the structural gene for DNA topoisomerase I. |

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.
