| Abstract | Many mutant variants of the P22 Arc repressor are subject to intracellular proteolysis in Escherichia coli, which precludes their expression at levels sufficient for purification and subsequent biochemical characterization. Here we examine the effects of several different C-terminal extension sequences on the expression and activity of a set of Arc mutants. We show that two tail sequences, KNQHE (st5) and H6KNQHE (st11), increase the expression levels of most mutants from 10- to 20-fold and, in some cases, result in restoration of biological activity in the cell. A third tail sequence, HHHHHH (st6), was not as effective in increasing mutant expression levels. All three tail sequences are functionally and structurally silent, as judged by their lack of effects on the DNA binding activity and stability of otherwise wild-type Arc. The properties of the st11 tail sequence make it an efficient system for the expression and purification of mutant Arc proteins, both because mutant expression levels are increased and because the proteins can be rapidly purified using nickel-chelate affinity chromatography. Arc mutants containing the EA28, RL31, and SA32 mutations were purified in the st11 background. The thermodynamic stability of the EA28 mutant (delta delta Gu approximately -0.4 kcal/mol) is reduced modestly compared to the st11 parent, whereas the RL31 mutant (delta delta Gu approximately -3.0 kcal/mol) and SA32 mutant (delta delta Gu approximately -3.3 kcal/mol) are substantially less stable. |

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.
