| Abstract | In eukaryotes, RNA polymerase I transcription is controlled by DNA elements located within the spacers that separate the tandemly arranged rRNA genes. Unlike rRNA coding sequences, the intergenic spacers evolve rapidly and have little sequence similarity even among closely related species. Nonetheless, the arrangement of functional elements, such as spacer promoters and enhancers, is thought to be highly conserved. Here, we identify spacer promoters in the plant Arabidopsis thaliana, thereby demonstrating their existence in both the plant and animal kingdoms. We also use an Arabidopsis transient expression system to perform transcriptional analysis of the ribosomal gene promoter. Spacer promoters share sequence similarity with the gene promoter from -91 to +22 relative to the transcription start site, +1. Deletion analysis shows that sequences required for RNA polymerase I transcription reside within these boundaries. Spacer sequences upstream of the gene promoter have only a small positive effect on transcription in transfected protoplasts but can increase transcription from a Xenopus ribosomal gene promoter in injected frog oocytes. This trans-kingdom enhancer effect further suggests that the functional elements within eukaryotic ribosomal genes are highly conserved. |

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.
