| Abstract | In Escherichia coli, degradation of abnormal proteins is an energy-requiring process; it is decreased in mutants in the lon (capR or deg) gene. We find that the protein encoded by the lon gene is an ATP-dependent protease and is identical to protease La, recently described in E. coli. Both proteins are serine proteases that hydrolyze casein and globin, but not insulin, in the presence of ATP and Mg2+. Both respond to ATP, less well to other nucleoside triphosphates, and not to nonhydrolyzable ATP analogs. The purified lon protein has an apparent Mr of 450,000 and appears to be composed of four identical subunits. Its size, chromatographic behavior, and sensitivity to various inhibitors and heat are indistinguishable from those of protease La. Moreover, in a strain that carries additional copies of the lon+ allele on a plasmid, the content of protease La, but not of other proteases, is 2- to 10-fold greater than in the lon+ parent strain. Strains carrying the nonsense mutations capR9 and capR- also contain this ATP-dependent proteolytic activity, but it is present in substantially lower amounts and is inactivated by phosphocellulose chromatography, unlike the wild-type enzyme. Degradation of abnormal proteins in these lon- strains, which is slower than in the wild type, still requires ATP. Alterations in the ATP-dependent protease in the lon- mutants can account for the defect in intracellular proteolysis and perhaps also for the other phenotypic effects of this pleiotropic gene. |

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.
