| Abstract | A 16-aa insertion loop present in eubacterial methionyl-tRNA formyltransferases (MTF) is critical for specific recognition of the initiator tRNA in Escherichia coli. We have studied the interactions between this region of the E. coli enzyme and initiator methionyl-tRNA (Met-tRNA) by using two complementary protection experiments: protection of MTF against proteolytic cleavage by tRNA and protection of tRNA against nucleolytic cleavage by MTF. The insertion loop in MTF is uniquely sensitive to cleavage by trypsin. We show that the substrate initiator Met-tRNA protects MTF against trypsin cleavage, whereas a formylation-defective mutant initiator Met-tRNA, which binds to MTF with approximately the same affinity, does not. Also, mutants of MTF within the insertion loop (which are defective in formylation) are not protected by the initiator Met-tRNA. Thus, a functional enzyme-substrate complex is necessary for protection of MTF against trypsin cleavage. Along with other data, these results strongly suggest that a segment of the insertion loop, which is exposed and unstructured in MTF, undergoes an induced fit in the functional MTF.Met-tRNA complex but not in the nonfunctional one. Footprinting experiments show that MTF specifically protects the acceptor stem and the 3'-end region of the initiator Met-tRNA against cleavage by double and single strand-specific nucleases. This protection also depends on formation of a functional MTF.Met-tRNA complex. Thus, the insertion loop interacts mostly with the acceptor stem of the initiator Met-tRNA, which contains the critical determinants for formylation. |

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.
