| Abstract | This study demonstrates the power of a genetic selection to identify a variant virus that uses a new retroviral receptor protein. We screened a random peptide library within the receptor-binding domain of a feline leukemia virus retroviral Envelope (FeLV Env) protein for productive infection of feline AH927 cells. One variant, A5, obtained with altered tropic properties acquired the ability to use the solute carrier protein family 35 member F2 (SLC35F2) as a receptor. The SLC35F2 protein is a presumed transporter of unknown function predicted to encode 8 to 10 transmembrane-spanning regions and is not homologous to any identified retroviral receptor. Expression of the feline SLC35F2 cDNA in nonpermissive cells renders the cells susceptible to infection by A5 virus, with remarkably high titers in the range of 105 infectious units per ml. The human SLC35F2 ORF also functioned as the retroviral receptor, albeit at lower efficiency than the feline homologue. The successful selection of a novel molecule, the SLC35F2 transporter/channel-type protein, as a receptor by the FeLV Env backbone suggests that multipass transmembrane proteins may be particularly suited for use in productive viral entry and fusion. The analysis of retroviral Env libraries randomized in the receptor-binding domain offers a viable means to develop viral vectors targeted to specific cell types in the absence of known targeting ligands. |

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.
