| Abstract | The MIP gene, the founder of the MIP family of channel proteins, is specifically expressed in fiber cells of the ocular lens and expression is regulated temporally and spatially during development. We previously found that a DNA fragment containing 253 bp of 5'-flanking sequence and 42 bp of exon 1 of the human MIP gene contains regulatory elements responsible for lens-specific expression of the MIP gene. In this report we have analyzed the function of overlapping Sp1 and AP2 binding sites present in the MIP promoter. Using DNase I footprinting analysis we found that purified Sp1 and AP2 transcription factors interact with several domains of the human MIP promoter sequence -253/+42. Furthermore, addition of purified Sp1 to Drosophila nuclear extracts activates in vitro transcription from the MIP promoter -253/+42. This promoter activity is competed by oligonucleotides containing domains footprinted with Sp1. Using promoter-reporter gene ( CAT ) constructs we found that the sequence -39/-70 contains a cis regulatory element essential for promoter activity in transient assays in lens cells. EMSA analysis showed that lens nuclear extracts contain factors that bind to the MIP 5'-flanking sequence containing overlapping Sp1 and AP2 binding domains at positions -37/-65. Supershift experiments with lens nuclear extracts indicated that Sp3 is also able to interact with this regulatory element, suggesting that Sp1 and Sp3 may be involved in regulation of transcription of the MIP gene in the lens. |

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.
