| Abstract | An in vitro transcription assay was used to compare the capacity of the bisintercalating anthracycline WP631 (which displays a remarkably high DNA-binding affinity) and the monointercalating anthracycline daunomycin to inhibit transcription initiation of the adenovirus major late promoter linked to a G-less transcribed DNA template. Both drugs inhibit basal RNA synthesis in a concentration-dependent way, and the drug concentrations required to inhibit transcription initiation are similar. However, in this study WP631 was around 15 times more efficient at inhibiting transcription initiation when used with an adenovirus promoter containing an upstream Sp1-protein binding site under experimental conditions in which the Sp1 protein acted as a transactivator in vitro. The differences in the ability of each drug to inhibit transcription initiation were related to the competition between Sp1 and the drugs for the same binding site. Concentrations of WP631 as low as 60 nM could inhibit the Sp1-activated transcription initiation in vitro. In contrast, the concentration of daunomycin required to inhibit Sp1-activated transcription by 50% was almost the same as the concentration required to inhibit basal transcription. The efficiency of WP631 at displacing Sp1 from its putative binding site was confirmed using gel retardation and footprinting assays. These results are the first unequivocal example of a direct effect of an intercalator on activated transcription initiation. |

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.
