| Abstract | Hepatitis A virus (HAV) mutants containing large deletions within the first pyrimidine-rich tract (pY1; nucleotides [nt] 99 to 138) of the 5' nontranslated RNA (5'NTR) replicate well in cultured cells, while those with pY1 deletions which extend in a 3' direction to include nt 140 to 144 (CUUGU) have a temperature-sensitive (ts) replication phenotype (D.R. Shaffer, E.A. Brown, and S.M. Lemon, J. Virol. 68:5568-5578, 1994). To characterize this replication defect, the ts mutant delta 131-144 was grown under one-step conditions at the nonpermissive temperature (37 degrees C). A shift to the permissive temperature (31 degrees C) for the first 18 h of the viral replication cycle did not enhance virus yields, indicating that temperature sensitivity is not due to a defect in viral entry or uncoating. Similarly, absence of increased yield with a late shift to 31 degrees C between 54 and 72 h suggested that the ts defect does not involve viral assembly. Although monocistronic RNA transcripts containing the delta 99-144 deletion directed translation 22 to 58% less efficiently than the standard 5'NTR in transfected BS-C-1 cells, this difference was present at both 31 and 37 degrees C. In addition, there were no temperature-dependent differences in the abilities of bicistronic transcripts containing either ts or non-ts 5'NTR sequences within the intercistronic space to direct translation of a downstream reporter gene. Thus, ts mutations do not confer a demonstrable temperature-related defect in cap-independent translation. In contrast, an RNase protection assay showed that synthesis of viral plus-strand RNA was markedly delayed in BS-C-1 cells infected with ts virus at 37 degrees C. Analysis of the nucleotide sequence surrounding the deletion in a non-ts revertant derived from delta 116-144 virus revealed that a single U-to-G transversion at nt 114 (CUUUU-->CUUGU) had restored the sequence normally present between nt 140 and 144. These results indicate that ts mutants of HAV with deletions extending downstream from the pY1 domain to nt 140 to 144 are defective in RNA synthesis and that the single-stranded RNA segment containing nt 140 to 144 plays a critical role in replication of HAV RNA. |

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.
