| Abstract | A promoter-independent assay utilizing poly(dC)-tailed DNA templates has revealed that Saccharomyces cerevisiae whole-cell extracts can be proficient for transcription by the endogenous yeast RNA polymerase II as well as for correct 3'-end RNA processing. Our attempts to examine the fate of polymerase II itself were inconclusive, because only trace transcription products corresponded to the expected size of terminated RNA species. Transcription in our processing-proficient extract was thus insufficient to cause termination. To test our system with a known, albeit heterologous, signal, we examined a dC-tailed template carrying the E. coli rho-dependent termination signal trp t' in the yeast extract. Transcripts from this template were not susceptible to processing, but addition of rho protein resulted in two distinct truncated transcripts that could not be chased by excess unlabeled nucleotides. These RNA species thus represented stably paused or terminated polymerase II products, and their absence when a mutated unresponsive trp t' template was used affirmed that they were due to the effects of rho. E. coli RNA polymerase added to a yeast extract pretreated with alpha-amanitin was also halted by rho at these same two sites. A mutated rho protein, while only partly defective with E. coli polymerase, failed to provoke arrest when transcription was carried out by RNA polymerase II. Thus, functional rho and its cognate site, trp t', appear necessary and sufficient to elicit the production of truncated transcripts by RNA polymerase II in a yeast whole-cell extract. The ability of rho to halt the eukaryotic enzyme strengthens the likelihood that a rho-like helicase may be involved in RNA polymerase II transcription termination. |

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.
