| Abstract | The activity of the endogenous DNA topoisomerase type I (EC 5.99.1.2) can be quantified in situ by determining how efficiently the enzyme is trapped in a covalent complex with DNA upon lysis of nuclei with detergents. In this way, we can measure relative levels of topoisomerase binding to DNA at native sites in chromatin. Since the majority of topoisomerase I is localized in the nucleolus at rRNA genes, we have evaluated how low levels of actinomycin D, which terminate transcription of rRNA genes, affect the activity of topoisomerase I. In vivo, as well as in vitro with purified topoisomerase I, we have found that drug treatment extends the half-life of the covalent topoisomerase-DNA complex. Actinomycin D stabilizes the nicked intermediate in the cleavage and resealing reaction but otherwise does not significantly alter the strand-passing ability of topoisomerase I. Sequence-specific cleavages by topoisomerase I were stimulated by actinomycin D at identical sequences recognized by the enzyme in the absence of drug. The localization of topoisomerase I in the nucleolus, coupled with the observation that transcription in this organelle is highly sensitive to actinomycin D and camptothecin treatment, leads us to propose that topoisomerase I contributes to actinomycin D inhibition of transcription. |

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.
