| Abstract | Molecular dynamics studies have been performed for 3.5 ns on the ETS domain of Ets-1 transcription factor bound to the 14-bp DNA, d(AGTGCCGGAAATGT), comprising the core sequence of high-affinity (GGAA), ETS-GGAA. In like manner, molecular dynamics simulations have been carried out for 3.9 ns on the mutant low-affinity core sequence, GGAG (ETS-GGAG). Analyses of the DNA backbone of ETS-GGAG show conformational interconversions from BI to BII substates. Also, crank shaft motions are noticed at the mutated nucleotide base pair step after 1500 ps of dynamics. The corresponding nucleotide of ETS-GGAA is characteristic of a BI conformation and no crank shaft motions are observed. The single mutation of ETS-GGAA to ETS-GGAG also results in variations of helical parameters and solvent-accessible surface area around the major and minor grooves of the DNA. The presence of water contacts during the entire simulation proximal to the fourth base pair step of core DNA sequence is a characteristic feature of ETS-GGAA. Such waters are more mobile in ETS-GGAG at 100 ps and distant after 1500 ps. Anticorrelated motions between certain amino acids of Ets-1 protein are predominant in ETS-GGAA but less so or absent in the mutant. These motions are reflected in the flexibility of amino acid residues of the protein backbone. We consider that these conformational features and water contacts are involved in stabilizing the hydrogen bond interactions between helix-3 residues of Ets-1 and DNA during the transcription process. |

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.
