| Abstract | While the minute virus of mice (MVM) P4 promoter, which drives the viral nonstructural genes, is highly active in the absence of viral proteins, P38, the capsid gene promoter, is strictly dependent on the viral nonstructural protein NS1. Once fully transactivated, however, P38 mediates twice the steady-state level of expression achieved by P4. In this report, we address the discrepancy between the ability of P38 to mediate very high levels of activated transcription yet only low levels of basal expression, and we investigate the determinants that govern P38 basal expression. The isolated P38 core promoter elements (the P38 Sp1-binding site and TATA element) are at least as transcriptionally competent as the analogous P4 promoter elements. Proximally positioning P4 enhancer factor-binding sequences (nucleotides [nt] 57 to 157) upstream of isolated P38 core transcription regulatory elements or upstream of a native, though abbreviated, P38 cassette (MVM nt 1938 to 2072) confers significant levels of expression to P38 in the absence of NS1, while the full left-end hairpin sequences (nt 1 to 133) elevate basal P38 activity to levels equivalent to P4 basal levels. In the context of the complete viral genome, however, proximally positioned enhancer sequences are unable to confer significant levels of expression to P38, suggesting that low P38 basal levels are a consequence not only of a lack of proximal enhancer elements but also of additional positional regulatory constraints which can be overcome by NS1. |

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.
