| Abstract | The tRNA(3) (Leu) gene from yeast contains an intervening sequence of 32 nucleotides not present in mature tRNA. This sequence is transcribed and subsequently removed during the maturation of the RNA. To probe the involvement of this region of the gene in transcription and processing of the pre-tRNA(3) (Leu), the yeast DNA was cloned in plasmid pBR322 and a 21-base-pair DNA fragment corresponding to the lac operator was inserted into the intervening sequence. Insertion was done at a cleavage site for the restriction endonuclease Hpa I that occurs 19/20 base pairs from the 5' end of the intervening sequence. The parent and modified plasmids were then transcribed in a Xenopus germinal vesicle extract. RNA-fingerprint analysis of the transcription products revealed that both the tRNA(3) (Leu) gene and its modified counterpart were accurately transcribed. Transcription products corresponding to mature tRNA(3) (Leu) and pre-RNA(3) (Leu) with the normal and lac-containing intervening sequence were identified. Precursors extended at their 5' and 3' ends were also present. Both parent and modified genes were transcribed efficiently, and the various products accumulated in similar amounts, indicating that no deleterious effects on transcriptional competence, stability of the transcripts, or processing result from insertion of the 21-base-pair lac operator DNA. Incubation of pre-tRNA molecules that contained intervening sequences but were 5' and 3' mature with a yeast ribosomal wash fraction resulted in excision of the intervening sequence and, in the presence of ATP, ligation of the resulting half-tRNA molecules. The presence of RNA complementary to lac operator DNA neither inhibited the excision and splicing activities nor altered the site of the junction. |

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.
