| Abstract | A Gram-positive anaerobic pathogen, Clostridium perfringens, causes clostridial myonecrosis or gas gangrene in humans by producing numerous extracellular toxins and enzymes that act in concert to degrade host tissues. The ability of infectious bacteria to acquire sufficient iron during infection is essential for the pathogen to cause disease. In the C. perfringens strain 13 genome, a heme oxygenase gene homologue (CPE0214, hemO) was found and its role was examined. The purified recombinant HemO protein showed heme oxygenase activity that can convert heme to biliverdin. hemO transcription was induced in response to extracellular hemin in a dose-dependent manner. The global two-component VirR/VirS regulatory system and its secondary regulator VR-RNA had positive regulatory effects on the transcription of hemO. These data indicate that heme oxygenase may play important roles in iron acquisition and cellular metabolism, and that the VirR/VirS-VR-RNA system is also involved in the regulation of cellular iron homeostasis, which might be important for the survival of C. perfringens in a human host. |

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.
