| Abstract | Reduction of major histocompatibility complex class I cell surface expression occurs in adenovirus-, herpes simplex virus-, human cytomegalovirus (HCMV)-, and murine cytomegalovirus-infected cell systems. Recently, it was demonstrated that the down-regulation mediated by HCMV infection is posttranslational, as a result of increased turnover of class I heavy chains in the endoplasmic reticulum (M. F. C. Beersma, M. J. E. Bijlmakers, and H. L. Ploegh, J. Immunol. 151:4455-4464, 1993; Y. Yamashita, K. Shimokata, S. Saga, S. Mizuno, T. Tsurumi, and Y. Nishiyama, J. Virol. 68:7933-7943, 1994. To identify HCMV genes involved in class I regulation, we screened our bank of HCMV deletion mutants for this phenotype. A mutant with a 9-kb deletion in the S component of the HCMV genome (including open reading frames IRS1 to US9 and US11) failed to down-regulate class I heavy chains. By examining the effects of smaller deletions within this portion of the HCMV genome, a 7-kb region containing at least nine open reading frames was shown to contain the genes required for reduction in heavy-chain expression. Furthermore, it was determined that at least two independent loci within the 7-kb region were able to cause class I heavy-chain down-regulation. One of these, US11, encodes a 32-kDa glycoprotein which causes down-regulation of class I heavy chains in the absence of other viral gene products. Hence, a specific function associated with a phenotype of the HCMV replicative cycle has been mapped to a dispensable gene region. These loci may be important for evasion of the host's immune response and viral persistence. |

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.
