| Abstract | A 16-base-pair palindrome from the Agrobacterium tumefaciens octopine synthase gene functions as a constitutive enhancer in plant protoplasts. Degenerate oligonucleotide mutagenesis provided single base substitutions at every position in the element and a number of multiple base substitutions. The effects of these changes were determined in transient expression assays with tobacco and maize protoplasts. The majority of single and double base changes had little effect on the activity of the octopine synthase enhancer, but nearly all mutants with more than two base changes had low to essentially no activity. There were five positions where particular single base changes resulted in a 4- to 10-fold loss in enhancer activity. The distribution of these positions within the palindrome was asymmetric. Single base deletions had essentially no activity, demonstrating that the octopine synthase enhancer cannot tolerate internal changes in spacing. We find a strong correlation between mutant phenotype and reduced binding of a protein factor, suggesting that the DNA-protein complex is responsible for the transcriptional enhancement; the functionally active form of the DNA-protein complex probably involves more than a single protein molecule. The mutants exhibit similar phenotypes in protoplasts of both tobacco and maize, implying conservation of the DNA-protein interactions of the ocs enhancer sequence in monocotyledonous and dicotyledonous plants. |

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.
