| Abstract | VL30 elements are associated with cancer by their overexpression in rodent malignancies, their induction in a fibroblast response to anoxia which shares features with the malignant phenotype, and their presence recombined into Harvey murine sarcoma virus (HaSV) and Kirsten murine sarcoma virus. These sarcoma viruses contain ras oncogenes flanked on both sides by retrotransposon VL30 element sequences, in turn flanked by mouse leukemia virus sequences. Three very basic questions have existed about the VL30 element sequences found in sarcoma viruses: (i) how did they become recombined, (ii) what are their exact boundaries, and (iii) why are they there? To help decipher the nature of VL30 elements in sarcoma viruses, we examined VL30 clones isolated from an anoxic fibroblast cDNA library and independently by polymerase chain reaction cloning from rat cell DNA. Sequence comparisons with HaSV revealed that HaSV was formed by the substitution of 0.7 kb of VL30 sequences by 0.9 kb of c-Ha-ras sequences, with this event possibly facilitated by the presence of an identical Alu-like repeat found upstream of the 5' recombination point in both the VL30 element and c-Ha-ras. Recombination occurred 42 bases beyond the Alu-like sequences in VL30 and 1596 bases beyond them in c-Ha-ras, at position 926 of HaSV. The 3' ras-VL30 recombination event in HaSV occurred within a seven-base region of shared sequence identity, between HaSV bases 1825 and 1825 and 1831. Recombination between Moloney leukemia virus (MoLV) and VL30 appears to have occurred at a point corresponding to base 218 or 219 of MoLV and was near a TAR-like VL30 sequence; such recombination at the 3' end was between positions 7445 and 7456 of MoLV (HaSV positions 4694 to 4703). Kirsten murine sarcoma virus was found to be closely analogous to HaSV, and limited similar features were also seen with Rasheed sarcoma virus. |

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.
