| Abstract | The regulatory and catalytic subunits of cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA) were coexpressed within the same bacterial cell using a polycistronic bacterial T7 expression vector encoding Chinese hamster cDNAs for the type I regulatory (RI) and catalytic alpha (C alpha) subunits of PKA. Basal expression of active RI/C alpha holoenzyme in the BL21(DE3) strain of Escherichia coli caused severe growth inhibition resulting in extremely small colony size. Several lines of evidence demonstrate that this growth inhibition requires active PKA subunits and cAMP: (i) this phenotype is dependent on cAMP since it is not seen in a strain lacking adenylyl cyclase activity, but the growth rate of these transformants is slower when exogenous cAMP is added; (ii) normal growth occurs when wild-type RI cDNA is replaced by a mutant RI cDNA encoding a RI protein with reduced cAMP binding; and (iii) the growth-inhibited phenotype of the transformed BL21(DE3) cells requires soluble, active C alpha protein. Holoenzyme expressed in bacteria is activated by cAMP, which stimulates phosphorylation of an endogenous 50-kDa protein that is missing in four host mutants selected for normal growth after transformation with PKA holoenzyme. A mutant RI cDNA library was generated by PCR random mutagenesis and screened by polycistronic expression in BL21(DE3) cells. The RI cDNA sequence from one revertant has base-pair substitutions creating two amino acid substitutions within the cAMP binding sites. The coexpression of the RI/C alpha subunits in BL21(DE3) bacterial cells provides a system for rapidly selecting mutations in the RI subunits of PKA. |

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.
