| Abstract | Barley stripe mosaic virus RNAγ encodes γb, a cysteine-rich protein that affects pathogenesis. Nine of the eleven cysteines are concentrated in two clusters, designated C1 (residues 1 to 23) and C2 (residues 60 to 85), that are arranged in zinc finger-like motifs. A basic motif (BM) rich in lysine and arginine (residues 19 to 47) resides between the C1 and C2 clusters. We have demonstrated that γb binds zinc and that the C1, BM, and C2 motifs have independent zinc-binding activities. To evaluate the requirements for binding, mutations were introduced into each region. Cysteine residues at positions 7, 9, 10, 19, and 23 in the C1 motif were replaced with serines. In the BM, asparagines were substituted for lysines at positions 26 and 35, glutamine for arginine at position 25, and glycines for arginines at positions 33 and 36. The C2 mutations included cysteine replacements with serines at positions 60, 64, 71, and 81, and a histidine-to-leucine change at position 85. These mutations destroyed zinc-binding activity in each of the isolated motifs. γb derivatives containing mutations in only two of the motifs retained the ability to bind zinc, whereas a γb derivative containing mutations inactivating all three motifs destroyed the ability to bind zinc. Plants inoculated with transcripts containing combinations of the C1, BM, and C2 mutations elicited a “null” phenotype in barley characteristic of γb deletion mutants and also delayed the appearance and reduced the size of local lesions in Chenopodium amaranticolor. These results show that zinc binding of each of the motifs is critical for the biological activity of γb. |

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.
