| Abstract | Regulation of the heat shock response in bacteria has been studied extensively inEscherichia coli where heat shock genes are classified into three classes and where each class is regulated by a different alternate sigma factor.Bacillus subtilis serves as a second model bacterium to study regulation of the heat shock response in detail. Here, four classes of heat shock genes have been described so far where two are controlled by two different repressor proteins and the third by the alternate sigma factorσ $^{ B }$. Class I heat shock genes consists of two operons, the heptacistronicdnaK and the bicistronicgroE operon. Transcription of thednaK operon is complex involving two promoters, premature termination of transcription, mRNA processing and different stabilities of the processed transcripts to ensure the appropriate amounts of heat shock proteins under different growth conditions. The translation product of thehrcA gene, the first gene of thednaK operon, binds to an operator designated CIRCE element, and its activity is modulated by the GroE chaperonin system. We assume that the HrcA protein, uponde novo synthesis and upon dissociation from its operator, is present in an inactive form and has to be activated by the GroE chaperonin system resulting in an HrcA-GroE reaction cycle. Induction of class I heat shock genes occurs by the appearance of denatured proteins within the cytoplasm which titrate the GroE system. This results in accumulation of inactive HrcA repressor and thereby in induction of class I heat shock genes. Upon removal of the non-native proteins from the cytoplasm, the GroE chaperonin will interact with HrcA and promote folding into its active conformation resulting in turning off of class I heat shock genes. This mechanism ensures adequate adjustment of class I heat shock proteins depending on their actual need. |

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.
