| Abstract | Three of the four eukaryotic ribosomal RNA molecules (18S, 5.8S and 25-28S rRNA) are transcribed as a single precursor, which is subsequently processed into the mature species by a complex series of cleavage and modification reactions. Early cleavage at site A1 generates the mature 5'-end of 18S rRNA. Mutational analyses have identified a number of upstream regions in the 5' external transcribed spacer (5' ETS), including a U3 binding site, which are required in cis for processing at A1. Nothing is known, however, about the requirement for cis-acting elements which define the position of the 5'-end of the 18S rRNA or of any other eukaryotic rRNA. We have introduced mutations around A1 and analyzed them in vivo in a genetic background where the mutant pre-rRNA is the only species synthesized. The results indicate that the mature 5'-end of 18S rRNA in yeast is identified by two partially independent recognition systems, both defining the same cleavage site. One mechanism identifies the site of cleavage at A1 in a sequence-specific manner involving recognition of phylogenetically conserved nucleotides immediately upstream of A1 in the 5' ETS. The second mechanism specifies the 5'-end of 18S rRNA by spacing the A1 cleavage at a fixed distance of 3 nt from the 5' stem-loop/pseudoknot structure located within the mature sequence. The 5' product of the A1 processing reaction can also be identified, showing that, in contrast to yeast 5.8S rRNA, the 5'-end of 18S rRNA is generated by endonucleolytic cleavage. |

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.
