| Abstract | The ability of a replication initiator protein to promote intermolecular pairing of two replication origins resulting in the turning off of the origin pair has been called handcuffing. We have endeavored to test the validity of the handcuffing model by isolating two mutant forms of the tau initiator protein of R6K that elicit high copy number phenotype. We have discovered that one mutant called tau 113 yielded a 3.6-fold increase in copy number of a gamma replicon with a concomitant impairment of its ability to loop DNA and to pair binding sites (iterons) in comparison with normal tau, thus supporting the handcuffing model. A second mutant called tau 108, on the other hand, elicited a 3-fold increase in copy number without showing any measurable loss in its ability to loop and pair gamma iterons. Both mutant forms of the wild-type tau protein showed no detectable differences in their affinity of binding to the gamma iterons. Thus, the phenotype of tau 108 is consistent with the proposition that copy number control involves macromolecular interactions other than cooperativity at a distance of tau or interaction of tau with the primary binding sites at gamma. Taken together, the results are consistent with the notion that tau-mediated handcuffing is a mechanism, but not the only mechanism, of copy control in R6K. Interaction of tau with host proteins is likely to provide additional facets of the copy control mechanism. |

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.
