| Abstract | We have described elsewhere a number of the properties of a set of mutant forms of Xenopus transcription factor IIIA (TFIIIA) containing single amino acid substitutions that result in the structural disruption of individual zinc finger domains. These 'broken finger' proteins have now been analyzed with respect to their ability to support transcription of 5S rRNA genes in vitro. Disruption of any one of the first six zinc fingers of TFIIIA has no discernible effect on the activity of the protein in supporting 5S rRNA synthesis in standard in vitro transcription assays, despite the fact that some of these mutant proteins exhibit large decreases in their binding affinity for 5S rRNA genes in binary complexes. These results indicate that the activity of TFIIIA as a transcription factor can be largely independent of its equilibrium binding constant for the 5S rRNA gene in the absence of other components of the RNA polymerase III transcriptional apparatus. In fact, this finding is consistent with the known pathway and kinetics of assembly of 5S rRNA transcription complexes. In contrast to the results obtained with finger 1-6 mutants, analogous mutations in zinc fingers 7-9 of TFIIIA result in moderate to complete loss of transcriptional activity. We interpret these results to mean that the three C-terminal zinc fingers of TFIIIA are not only involved in binding to the internal control region of 5S rRNA genes but are also required, either directly or indirectly, for higher-order interactions that are important in transcription complex assembly, stability, or activity. |

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.
