| Abstract | A number of molecules have recently been described that effect the correct transport and assembly of cytoplasmically synthesized proteins to cellular membranes. To identify proteins that bind or modify other proteins during the process of membrane translocation, we developed a yeast selection scheme that employs the yeast transcriptional activator GAL4. This selection facilitates the isolation of cDNAs that encode proteases and binding proteins for known target peptide sequences. We report the isolation of an Arabidopsis cDNA encoding a polypeptide that can interact with the amino terminus of a ligh-harvesting chlorophyll a/b-binding protein (LHCP), a cytoplasmically synthesized protein that is integral to the chloroplast thylakoid membrane. The cDNA was selected in yeast from an Arabidopsis expression library for its ability to inhibit a transcriptional activator GAL4-LHCP fusion protein, but not inhibit native GAL4 protein. The LHCP amino-terminal sequences included in the fusion protein are known to regulate LHCP biogenesis and function. The Arabidopsis cDNA encodes a 595-amino acid protein with at least two functional domains, one with similarity to the family of protein-serine/threonine kinases and another that contains an epidermal growth factor repeat. The identification of an EGF repeat in Arabidopsis indicates that the motif is conserved between the plant and animal kingdoms. Hybridization studies indicate that this gene is likely to be present in other genera of plants. Its mRNA is detected in green leaves but not in other plant tissues or in etiolated plants. The specificity in yeast and the expression pattern in plants together are suggestive of a role for this protein kinase in the assembly or regulation of LHCP. |

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.
