| Abstract | The histone-like protein (HPhA) is highly homologous to the eukaryotic histones and has the ability to bind to the DNA molecules. In this study, we tested divalent metal ions Mg2+, Ca2+, Zn2+, Pb2+ for their effect on the recombinant HPhA (rHPhA)-DNA binding. We found that only Pb2+ was able to reduce the formation of rHPhA-DNA complex using gel mobility shift assays. Equilibrium dialysis showed that Pb2+ bound to rHPhA by a 2:1 ratio. The interaction of Pb2+ and rHPhA was further studied by spectroscopic method including fluorescence, ultraviolet visible (UV–Vis) absorption, and circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopies. Fluorescent spectroscopy results suggested that Pb2+ and rHPhA formed a complex that caused internal quenching of the fluorescence of the protein at the ground state, and the quenching is predominately static and mixed with dynamic quenching. UV–Vis absorption spectrum results showed Pb2+ caused a slightly blue shift of the maximum absorption wavelength of rHPhA which indicated the reduction of the protein’s hydrophobicity. The CD spectrum further indicated that a reduction of the α-helix content of rHPhA occurred upon binding to Pb2+. Synchronous fluorescence spectrometry analysis revealed that Pb2+ was able to affect the polarity of the amino acids that near the Trp and Tyr residues. These results together showed that Pb2+ interact with the recombinant rHPhA and this interaction negatively affect the ability of rHPhA to form complex with DNA molecules. |

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.
