| Abstract | In the polyomavirus (Py)-transformed rat cell line designated LPT, replication of the integrated Py DNA can be induced by exposure of the cells to carcinogens. In view of the observation that enhancer elements are essential components of the Py origin of replication, it appeared plausible that the induction is triggered by synthesis or modification of an enhancer-binding protein which is required for activation of the viral origin. To test this hypothesis, we have used a plasmid containing a modified Py origin (test plasmid), in which the Py enhancer has been replaced with five repeats of the yeast GAL4 upstream activating sequence, and a plasmid encoding the GAL4 transcriptional activator protein. Previous studies in which these two plasmids were cotransfected into mouse cells that are permissive for Py showed that the GAL4 protein can transactivate the modified Py origin and cause replication of the test plasmid. When similar cotransfection assays were performed in LPT cells, no replication of the test plasmid was observed unless the cells were exposed to the carcinogen mitomycin C subsequent to the transfection, in which case replication of the test plasmid was induced. Control experiments showed that even though the GAL4 protein was required for the induction, its concentration was not affected by the exposure to mitomycin C. These results indicate that the primary target in the induction pathway is not an enhancer-binding protein; instead, the induction appears to be triggered by changes in other components of the replication initiation complex which may be associated with the origin core. |

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.
