| Abstract | sigma B is a secondary sigma factor of Bacillus subtilis. RNA polymerase containing sigma B transcribes a subset of genes that are expressed after heat shock or the onset of the stationary phase of growth. Three genes (rsbV, rsbW, and rsbX), cotranscribed with the sigma B structural gene (sigB), regulate sigma B-dependent gene expression. RsbW is the primary inhibitor of this system with the other gene products acting upstream of RsbW in the sigma B regulatory pathway. Evidence is now presented that RsbW inhibits sigma B-dependent transcription by binding to sigma B and blocking the formation of a sigma B-containing RNA polymerase holoenzyme. Antibodies specific for either RsbW or sigma B will coprecipitate both proteins from crude cell extracts. This is not due to the presence of both proteins on RNA polymerase. Western blot analysis of B. subtilis extracts that had been fractionated by gel-filtration chromatography revealed a single peak of RsbW that did not coelute with RNA polymerase and two peaks of sigma B protein: one that eluted with RNA polymerase and a second that overlapped the fractions that contained RsbW. Reconstitution experiments were performed in which partially purified sigma B and RsbW were added to core RNA polymerase and tested for their ability to influence the transcription of a sigma B-dependent promoter (ctc) in vitro. RsbW efficiently blocked sigma B-dependent transcription but only if it was incubated with sigma B prior to the addition of the core enzyme. |

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.
