| Abstract | Oxygen radical scavengers, such as dithiocarbamates and cysteine derivatives, inhibit activation of the ubiquitous transcription factor nuclear factor kappa B (NF-kappa B) after treatment of cells with tumor necrosis factor, phorbol ester, and interleukin-1. An involvement of oxygen radicals was more directly evident from the induction of NF-kappa B by low concentrations of H2O2 and the demonstration that cells stimulated with various NF-kappa B inducers release H2O2 and superoxide. In this study, we used the antioxidant pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate (PDTC) to investigate whether the activation of NF-kappa B by the viral transactivator Tax from human T-cell leukemia virus type I also depends on the production of reactive oxygen intermediates. The Tax-induced activation of the DNA-binding activity of NF-kappa B in Jurkat T cells was potently suppressed by micromolar concentrations of PDTC. Within the same concentration range, PDTC and two other dithiocarbamates also strongly interfered with transactivation of the long terminal repeat (LTR) of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 by Tax but had no effect on transactivation of the same LTR by Tat. Transactivation of the human T-cell leukemia virus type I LTR by Tax was also barely influenced. Tax seems to activate NF-kappa B by a mechanism shared with all other inducers of NF-kappa B tested so far. It appears that one of the pleiotropic activities of Tax leads to an enhanced production of oxygen radicals that are required for activation of NF-kappa B. |

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.
