| Abstract | The genes encoding six novel esterolytic/lipolytic enzymes, termed LC-Est1â ¼6, were isolated from a fosmid library of a leaf-branch compost metagenome by functional screening using tributyrin agar plates. These enzymes greatly vary in size and amino acid sequence. The highest identity between the amino acid sequence of each enzyme and that available from the database varies from 44 to 73%. Of these metagenome-derived enzymes, LC-Est1 is characterized by the presence of a long N-terminal extension (LNTE, residues 26-283) between a putative signal peptide (residues 1-25) and a C-terminal esterase domain (residues 284-510). A putative esterase from Candidatus Solibacter usitatus (CSu-Est) is the only protein, which shows the significant amino acid sequence identity (46%) to the entire region of LC-Est1. To examine whether LC-Est1 exhibits activity and its LNTE is important for activity and stability of the esterase domain, LC-Est1 (residues 26-510), LC-Est1C (residues 284-510), and LC-Est1C* (residues 304-510) were overproduced in E. coli, purified, and characterized. LC-Est1C* was only used for structural analysis. The crystal structure of LC-Est1C* highly resembles that of the catalytic domain of Thermotoga maritima esterase, suggesting that LNTE is not required for folding of the esterase domain. The enzymatic activity of LC-Est1C was lower than that of LC-Est1 by 60%, although its substrate specificity was similar to that of LC-Est1. LC-Est1C was less stable than LC-Est1 by 3.3°C. These results suggest that LNTE of LC-Est1 rather exists as an independent domain but is required for maximal activity and stability of the esterase domain. |

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.
