| Abstract | The long terminal repeats (LTRs) from various cloned equine infectious anemia virus (EIAV) proviruses differ significantly, but all contain cis-acting DNA elements identical to MDBP-, PEA2-, AP-1-, and PU.1 (ets)-binding sites. A prototype EIAV LTR would contain one of each of these conserved elements. The LTR variations originate from the insertion of novel sequences between the PEA2 and AP-1 elements in the transcriptional enhancer unit. Viewed in this way, the LTR from provirus clone lambda 12 has an 11-bp insertion containing a PEA2 site and the LTR of the lambda 6 provirus has a 31-bp insertion/duplication containing PEA2, AP-1, and PU.1 sites. Two other LTRs were cloned by amplification of cDNAs from the persistently infected cell line, EIAV-FEA. A third LTR was generated by site-directed mutagenesis of one of the LTRs from EIAV-FEA cells. The latter three had a single base change in the element next to the TATA box that abolished PU.1 binding; however, the variable regions of these LTRs were shown by gel mobility shift assays to contain one or two PU.1 sites. One variable region was shown to have an octamer site overlapping its tandem PU.1 elements. Basal, PMA-activated, and Tat trans-activated transcriptional activities of the LTRs were compared in several different cell lines by transient transfection. The various promoters displayed different relative levels of activity depending on the cell line used and the condition of activation. This natural set of variant promoters may help define how changes in the components of the transcription complex influence transactivation by Tat. The diverse LTRs could endow their respective proviruses with a unique pattern of expression and activation in vivo. |

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.
