| Abstract | Herpesvirus saimiri has been shown to possess a thymidylate synthase (TS) gene that is unusual in its transcriptional regulation. Although TS is believed to be required for viral DNA synthesis, the TS-specific 2.5-kb mRNA was found most abundantly during the late phases of asynchronous virus replication in permissive cultures. To study the kinetics of gene activation, the TS promoter and regulatory sequences were cloned upstream of the chloramphenicol acetyltransferase (CAT) gene. No CAT expression or transcripts were found after transfection of fusion genes into permissive owl monkey kidney (OMK) cells. However, the promoter was strongly activated when CAT plasmids were cotransfected with intact herpesvirus saimiri virion DNA or were transferred to OMK cells that were lytically infected with herpesvirus saimiri or a related herpesvirus, herpesvirus ateles. CAT was expressed at reduced levels in cultures when viral DNA replication was inhibited by phosphonoacetic acid; this indicates that the gene is activated during the delayed-early phase. However, the highest amounts of mRNA were present in the late period of replication. Deletion analyses localized essential response elements for trans activation in the promoter upstream region between nucleotides -311 and -56; they consisted of related tandem repeats and perfect palindromes. A sequence with two overlapping palindromes of 16 and 18 bp was found to be a major target for activation of the herpesvirus saimiri TS promoter. These palindromes did not have any significant homologies with known sequences of herpesviruses or cellular DNA; the 18-bp palindrome had, however, a certain structural similarity with a conserved sequence of the E2-responsive cis sequence that is required for transcription regulation of early papillomavirus genes. |

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.
