| Abstract | Staphylococcus aureus pI258 CadC is a metal sensor protein that regulates the expression of the cad operon which encodes metal ion resistance proteins involved in the efficient efflux of Cd(II), Pb(II), Zn(II) and, according to one report , Bi(III) ions. In this paper, direct evidence is presented that Bi(III) binds to CadC and negatively regulates cad operator/promoter (O/P) binding. Optical absorption spectroscopy reveals that dimeric CadC binds ∼0.8 mol equivalents of Bi(III) per CadC monomer to form a coordination complex characterized by three S–→Bi(III) ligand-to-metal charge transfer transitions, with the longest wavelength absorption band centered at 415 nm (ε415=4000 MBi –1 cm–1). UV-Vis absorption spectra of wild-type and mutant Cys→Gly (Ser) substitution CadC mutants compared to [Bi(DTT)2], [Bi(GSH)3] and [Bi(NAC)]3 model complexes reveal that Cys7, Cys11, Cys60 and Cys58 directly coordinate Bi(III) in a tetrathiolate coordination complex. The apparent affinity derived from a Bi(III)-displacement optical titration with Cd(II) is estimated to be K Bi≤1012 M–1. Apo-CadC binds with high affinity [K a=1.1(±0.3)×109 M–1; 0.40 M NaCl, pH 7.0, 25 °C] to a 5′-fluorescein-labeled cad O/P oligonucleotide ,while the binding of one molar equivalent of Bi(III) per CadC monomer (Bi1-CadC) reduces the affinity by ∼170-fold. Strikingly, Bi(III)-responsive negative regulation of cad O/P binding is abrogated for Bi1-C60G CadC and severely disrupted in Bi1-C7G CadC, whose relative affinity is reduced only 10-fold. The mechanism of Bi(III)-responsive metalloregulation is discussed, based on the findings presented here.

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.
