| Abstract | Cysteine site-directed mutagenesis was used to create variants of Escherichia coli ribosomal protein L7/L12 that have single cysteine substitutions, at residues 63 or 89, located in different exposed loops in the structure of the globular C-terminal domain indicated by the crystallographic structure. That structure shows a possible dimer interaction in which the two sites of cysteine substitution appear to be too distant for disulfide bond formation. After mild oxidation in solution both of the overexpressed purified cysteine-substituted proteins formed interchain disulfide crosslinked dimers in high yield. Both crosslinked dimers were fully active in restoring activity in poly(U)-directed polyphenylalanine synthesis to ribosomal core particles depleted of wild-type L7/L12. These results show that the two C-terminal domains have independent mobility. The activity of dimeric L7/L12 does not require the independent movement of the two globular C-terminal domains in an L7/L12 dimer; moreover, it appears independent of their mutual orientation when joined by crosslinking at the two loops. A third variant with a cysteine substitution at residue 33 near the junction between the alpha-helical N-terminal domain and the flexible hinge was prepared and tested. This protein was active in the protein synthesis assay in the reduced state. Oxidation produced the interchain crosslinked dimer in high yield, but this crosslinked dimer was inactive in polyphenylalanine synthesis. The inactivation was due to the inability of the Cys33-Cys33 oxidized dimer to bind to the core particle. |

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.
