| Abstract | CodY, a highly conserved protein in the low G + C, gram-positive bacteria, regulates the expression of many Bacillus subtilis genes that are induced as cells make the transition from rapid exponential growth to stationary phase and sporulation. This transition has been associated with a transient drop in the intracellular pool of GTP. Many stationary-phase genes are also induced during exponential-growth phase by treatment of cells with decoyinine, a GMP synthetase inhibitor. The effect of decoyinine on an early-stationary-phase gene is shown here to be mediated through CodY and to reflect a reduction in guanine nucleotide accumulation. CodY proved to bind GTP in vitro. Moreover, CodY-mediated repression of target promoters was dependent on a high concentration of GTP, comparable to that found in rapidly growing exponential-phase cells. Because a codY-null mutant was able to sporulate under conditions of nutrient excess, CodY also appears to be a critical factor that normally prevents sporulation under such conditions. Thus, B. subtilis CodY is a novel GTP-binding protein that senses the intracellular GTP concentration as an indicator of nutritional conditions and regulates the transcription of early-stationary-phase and sporulation genes, allowing the cell to adapt to nutrient limitation. |

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.
