| Abstract | We have previously described temperature sensitive rho mutants of Escherichia coli (e.g., rho15) that are defective in transcription termination at various signals, including an IS2 DNA insertion in the gal operon [Das, A., Court, D. & Adhya, S. (1976) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, 73, 1959-1963]. In this paper, we report the isolation of mutants altered in the beta subunit of RNA polymerase (a class of Rifampicin-resistant mutants), which restore gal IS2 polarity in the rho 15 strain. It has been shown that one of these suppressor RNA polymerases (rpoB101) requires rho to terminate transcription of phage lambda mRNA. In contrast to the wild type RNA polymerase, the suppressor RNA polymerase also terminates lambda mRNA transcription in the presence of rho15 protein. We have isolated new rho mutants (e.g., rho112) that are defective in transcription termination in the rpoB101 strain. These results strongly support the notion that rho and RNA polymerase interact functionally during transcription termination. We have shown that rho15 catalyzes ATP hydrolysis during transcription with rpoB101 RNA polymerase, but not with wild-type RNA polymerase. Because rho 15 protein hydrolyzes ATP in the presence of free RNA, we suggest that rho may recognize the 3'-OH end of RNA. During transcription, this recognition involves an interaction with RNA polymerase, resulting in the displacement of the polymerase and the release of the nascent mRNA. |

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.
