| Abstract | The wild-type E6 and E7 genes of human papillomavirus type 16 (HPV16) can cooperate to immortalize normal human keratinocytes in culture. The E6 open reading frame of HPV16 and other HPV types highly associated with cervical cancer has the potential of encoding both full-length E6 and two truncated E6* proteins, the latter being generated via splicing within the E6 open reading frame portion of the E6-E7 polycistronic transcript. Those types, such as HPV6, that are infrequently associated with cervical carcinoma lack the splice site and encode only a full-length E6. We have now found that, in addition to cooperating with E7 to immortalize keratinocytes, HPV16 E6 can induce anchorage-independent growth in NIH 3T3 cells and trans-activate the adenovirus E2 promoter. HPV6 E6 was also able to trans-activate the adenovirus E2 promoter, although it was inactive in both cell transformation assays. An HPV16 splice site mutant which expressed only the full-length HPV16 E6 was active in all three assays, indicating that the E6* proteins are not required for these activities. The plasmid which encodes the E6* proteins was inactive and did not potentiate the activity of the HPV16 splice site mutant. The mutation that prevented splicing in E6-E7 mRNA severely reduced the level of E7 protein and increased E6 protein. Taken together, the results suggest that the primary function of the splice within E6 is to facilitate the translation of E7 and reduce translation of full-length E6, rather than to generate biologically active E6* proteins. |

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.
