| Abstract | Simian virus 40 (SV40) large T antigen (Tag) is a promiscuous transcriptional transactivator; however, its mechanism of transactivation remains unknown. Recent studies have suggested the possible involvement of protein-protein interactions with TBP, the TATA box-binding protein of TFIID, and TEF-1, an enhancer-binding factor. We show here that (i) the Tag domain containing amino acids 133 to 249 directly interacts with the general transcription factor TFIIB, the activator protein Sp1, and the 140-kDa subunit of RNA polymerase II, as well as with TBP and TEF-1; (ii) these interactions can also occur when these transcription factors are present in their functional states in cellular extracts; (iii) binding of Tag to TBP is eliminated by preincubation of TBP either at 48 degrees C or with the adenovirus 13S E1a protein; (iv) this domain of Tag cannot bind concurrently to more than one of these transcription factors; and (v) the substitution of Tag amino acid residues 173 and 174 inactivates the ability of this Tag domain both to associate with any of these transcription factors and to transactivate the SV40 late promoter. Thus, we conclude that SV40 Tag probably does not transactivate via the concurrent interaction with multiple components of the preinitiation complex. Rather, we hypothesize that transactivation by Tag may primarily occur by removing or preventing the binding of factors that inhibit the formation of preinitiation complexes. |

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.
