| Abstract | When excision-deficient Escherichia coli carrying umuC or umuD alleles were exposed to visible light several hours after ultraviolet irradiation, base-pair-substitution mutations were induced in these normally non-UV-mutable bacteria. It is argued that delayed photoreversal of pyrimidine dimers removes blocks to DNA replication and allows the "survival" and expression of misincorporated bases. A model for UV mutagenesis is proposed with two steps: (i) misincorporation opposite a photoproduct, which can be mediated directly by RecA protein, and (ii) bypass, only the latter process requiring umuD+ and umuC+ alleles. Basal levels of gene products are sufficient for at least some misincorporation events, although induced levels of umuD and umuC gene products are necessary for the bypass step. umuC bacteria containing the recA441 allele showed a greater yield of mutants, and those containing recA430 a reduced yield, following delayed photoreversal. The lexA51 allele (which results in constitutive derepression of RecA protein production) did not significantly alter the yield of mutants but caused them to appear marginally sooner in a recA441 umuC strain. These results emphasize that the nature of the RecA protein and not its concentration is paramount in determining the level of misincorporation. Experiments with recA441 umuC bacteria at 43 degrees C and 30 degrees C suggest that the misincorporation effect is unlikely to be attributable to cleavage of a DNA binding protein such as a repressor or a component of the polymerase complex. Moreover, misincorporation seems to occur without the need for induced synthesis of any other protein under recA control. |

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.
