| Abstract | The mutagenic consequences of damage to DNA produced by low pH and high temperature have been determined in a forward mutational system capable of detecting all classes of mutagenic events. When damaged single-stranded DNA from bacteriophage M13mp2 is used to transfect competent Escherichia coli cells, a 15-fold increase in mutation frequency, measured as loss of alpha-complementation by the lac DNA in the phage, is observed compared with an untreated DNA control transfection. The enhanced mutagenicity is largely dependent on induction of the error-prone SOS response and is proportional to the number of lethal hits introduced into the DNA. The effect is abolished by treatment of the damaged DNA before transfection with either apurinic/apyrimidinic endonuclease or alkali. Based on these observations and the rate constants for formation of the known heat/acid-produced lesions in DNA, it is concluded that the majority of the induced mutagenesis results from apurinic sites. DNA sequence analysis of 87 spontaneous and 124 induced mutants indicates that the major effect is on single base-substitution mutagenesis with a small increase in (deletion) frame-shift frequency. Approximately 80% of the base-substitution mutations occur at purine positions in the viral strand, consistent with depurination as the predominant premutagenic lesion. The preference of guanine over adenine sites mutated is consistent with the preference for depurination of guanine over adenine. Transversions are observed for 57 of 79 (72%) induced base substitutions, with a strong preference for insertion of adenine residues opposite the putative apurinic site. These data in a forward mutational system provide insight into the mechanisms used by a cell to replicate DNA containing noncoding lesions. |

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.
