| Abstract | The ochratoxin A (OTA) polyketide synthase otapks gene has been cloned from Penicillium verrucosum. A P. verrucosum mutant in which the otapksPV gene has been interrupted cannot synthesize ochratoxin A. The protein is most similar to the citrinin polyketide synthase CtnpksMa from Monascus anka (83% identity at the amino acid level). Different nutritional conditions influence OTA production in P. verrucosum, with the addition of glycerol and galactose to MCB resulting in approximately 19 and 32 fold increases in OTA production respectively. These effects are mirrored in increased levels of otapksPV gene transcription. In contrast, the addition of glucose to MCB containing galactose results in an approximate 10 fold repression in OTA production, with this repression again being mirrored in decreased levels of otapksPV gene transcription. Thus the effects of different carbon sources on OTA production in P. verucosum appear to be regulated at the level of gene transcription. Two additional open reading frames, otaE and otaT, were identified in the 5' and 3' flanking regions of otapksPV, respectively. The otaT and otaE genes are co-expressed with P. verrucosum otapksPv, indicating a possible role for these genes in OTA biosynthesis. Furthermore, otaT and otaE were identified as putative homologues of the M. anka citrinin transporter ctnC (72% amino acid identity) and M. anka citrinin oxidoreductase ctnB (83% amino acid identity); suggesting that the genes involved in OTA production in P. verrucosum may be very similar to those involved in citrinin production in M. anka. |

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.
