| Abstract | Oxidative crosslinking of cysteines introduced by site-specific mutagenesis is a powerful tool for structural analysis of proteins, but the approach has been limited to studies in vitro. We recently reported that intact cells of Escherichia coli could be treated with Cu(II)-(o-phenanthroline)3 or molecular iodine in a way that left unperturbed flagellar function or general chemotactic response, yet crosslinks were quantitatively formed between select cysteines in adjoining transmembrane helices of chemoreceptor Trg. This suggested that oxidative crosslinking might be utilized for structural analysis in vivo. Thus, we used our comprehensive collection of Trg derivatives, each containing a single cysteine at one of the 54 positions in the two transmembrane segments of the receptor monomer to characterize patterns of crosslinking in vivo and in vitro for this homodimeric protein. We found that in vivo crosslinking compared favorably as a technique for structural analysis with the more conventional in vitro approach. Patterns of crosslinking generated by oxidation treatments of intact cells indicated extensive interaction of transmembrane segment 1 (TM1) with its homologous partner (TM1') in the other subunit and a more distant placement of TM2 and TM2', the same relationships identified by crosslinking in isolated membranes. In addition, the same helical faces for TM1-TM1' interaction and TM2-TM2' orientation were identified in vivo and in vitro. The correspondence of the patterns also indicates that structural features identified by analysis of in vitro crosslinking are relevant to the organization of the chemoreceptor in its native environment, the intact, functional cell. It appears that the different features of the two functionally benign treatments used for in vivo oxidations can provide insights into protein dynamics. |

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.
