| Abstract | The malignant transformation potential of high-risk human papillomaviruses (HPVs) is closely linked to the expression of the viral E6 and E7 genes. To elucidate the molecular mechanisms resulting in HPV oncogene expression, a systematic analysis of the cis-regulatory elements within the HPV type 18 (HPV18) upstream regulatory region (URR) which regulate the activity of the E6/E7 promoter was performed. As the functional behavior of a given cis-regulatory element can be strongly influenced by the overall composition of a transcriptional control region, individual elements were inactivated by site-directed mutagenesis in the physiological context of the complete HPV18 URR. Subsequently, the effects of these mutations on the activity of the E6/E7 promoter were assessed by transient transfection assays. We found that the transcriptional stimulation of the E6/E7 promoter largely depends on the integrity of cis-regulatory elements bound by AP1, SP1, and in certain epithelial cells, KRF-1. In contrast to previous reports by implying a key role for NF1 and Oct-1 recognition motifs in the stimulation of papillomavirus oncogene expression, the inactivation of these elements in the context of the HPV18 URR did not strongly affect the transcriptional activity of the E6/E7 promoter. Mutation of a promoter-proximal glucocorticoid response element completely abolished dexamethasone inducibility of the HPV18 E6/E7 promoter and resulted in an increase of its basal activity. Functional dissection of the HPV18 constitutive enhancer region indicates that its transcriptional activity is largely generated by functional synergism between a centrally located AP1 module and thus far undetected cis-active elements present in the 5' flank of the enhancer. Furthermore, comparative analyses using homologous and heterologous promoters show that the transcriptional activity of HPV18 enhancer elements is influenced by the nature of the test promoter in a cell-type-specific manner. |

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.
