| Abstract | Azotobacter vinelandii contains a prrF-like sequence in a noncoding region of the chromosome. Like the Pseudomonas aeruginosa PrrF small RNA-encoding genes, the expression of the sequence, herein named arrF (Azotobacter regulatory RNA involving Fe), was increased 100-fold in wild-type cells in response to iron depletion. The level of ArrF was also increased to the same degree in the iron-replete fur mutant, but down back to a wild-type level when this fur mutant was complemented with the wild-type fur gene. These results, with the location of arrF gene in a noncoding region, suggest that this gene encodes an iron-responsive small RNA whose expression is negatively regulated by the Fur–Fe2+ complex. Disruption of this arrF gene upregulated the expression of iron-containing superoxide dismutase and FeSII protein, whereas fur mutation or iron depletion decreased the level of their transcript. A short region in the 5′-untranslated region of each transcript was predicted to be quite complementary to the core sequence of ArrF, assuming that ArrF represses the expression of the genes under Fur control by an antisense RNA mechanism. However, unlike the P. aeruginosa PrrF that has extensive targets in the tricarboxylic acid cycle and glyoxylate cycle, ArrF had little effect on those genes. The findings that there is a poor overlap between ArrF and PrrF targets and that the FeSII gene, which is present only in the chromosome of nitrogen-fixing bacterial species, is controlled by ArrF suggest that ArrF might have unique targets, some of which are involved in N2 fixation. |

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.
