| Abstract | We have devised a method to specifically incorporate deoxyribonucleotide base analogs in vitro into either strand of the tryptophan (trp) operon attenuator region, using primed synthesis on bacteriophage M13 derivatives carrying cloned trp attenuator DNA. We have employed these techniques to extend previous studies implicating both RNA-RNA and RNA-DNA interactions in transcription termination in an attempt to determine the nature of the contribution from the template DNA molecule in termination regions. In general, we find that the dramatic effects upon transcription termination seen with base analog incorporation into mRNA do not occur when similar analogs are incorporated into the DNA. Only the analog 2,6-diaminopurine deoxyribonucleotide triphosphate (dDapTP), which strengthens A.T or A.U base pairing, elicits a significant response: in the template DNA strand, the presence of this analog increases read-through at the trp attenuator. The analog 5-bromouracil deoxyribonucleoside triphosphate (BrdUTP), which also strengthens pairing with its complementary base, has no detectable effect on termination when it is placed in either strand of the trp attenuator or the mutant attenuator trp a1419. Surprisingly, though the analog 5-iodocytosine deoxyribonucleoside triphosphate (IdCTP) does not affect termination, it has a great effect on initiation of transcription, depressing trp promoter activity as well as stimulating transcription from other regions. These results support the postulated interaction between terminal uridines in mRNA and the template DNA strand in enhancing termination and suggest that there are no significant additional contributions from the DNA. In addition, the novel use of M13 derivatives for incorporating analogs into the DNA on a preparative scale provides a technique for introducing mutations in a general but controlled fashion as a new means for studying other regulatory regions. |

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.
