| Abstract | We previously showed that the preferred mutation induced by (+/-)-3 alpha,4 beta-dihydroxy-1 alpha,2 alpha-epoxy- 1,2,3,4-tetrahydrobenzo[c]phenanthrene (BcPHDE) in the dihydrofolate reductase gene in Chinese hamster ovary cells was a purine to thymine transversion on the nontranscribed strand at the sequence 5'-RRR-3' (R is a purine and the mutated base is underlined). To determine whether the observed mutational strand specificity was due to bias in the phenotypic selection, we designed a nonsense-codon reversion assay in which a triple purine target was present on both strands and all R----T transversion mutations yielded amino acid substitutions that were compatible with dihydrofolate reductase enzyme activity. From the size of the targets, a 2:1 ratio of mutations at the purines on the nontranscribed strand was expected if the DNA strands were mutationally equivalent. We isolated a total of 66 BcPHDE-induced revertants of two mutants that carry point mutations at either the 5' or the 3' end of the gene. All reversions at the 5' end arose by substitution on the nontranscribed strand; those at the 3' end showed a strand bias that favored this strand by 7:1. For both mutants, R----T transversions accounted for 88% of all the induced base changes. Thus, in this system, mutational strand bias is independent of the selection for phenotype. The results are consistent with the model of preferential repair of the transcribed strand as proposed by others. The involvement of RNA polymerase in the selective repair recruitment is discussed. |

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.
