| Abstract | We report the use of a HeLa whole cell extract (WCE) runoff transcription system for the study of cis- and trans-acting elements, participating in the regulation of transcription initiation from the P38 promoter of the parvovirus minute virus of mice (MVM). Our initial studies with HeLa WCE indicated that transcription from the P38 promoter is very inefficient, compared with transcription from the P4 promoter. Supplementation of the HeLa WCE with WCE prepared from uninfected Ehrlich ascites cells enhanced transcription from the P38 promoter twofold, indicating a role for a cellular factor in transcription from the P38 promoter. Furthermore, supplementation with WCE prepared from MVM-infected Ehrlich ascites cells enhanced transcription from the P38 promoter about sixfold, indicating a role for a virally encoded or induced factor. Analyses of runoffs produced by transcription of DNA templates digested with various restriction enzymes defined a downstream promoter element (DPE) necessary for efficient transcription initiation from the P38 promoter. This element resides 282 to 647 base pairs 3' to the transcription initiation site, between the NarI site and the HindIII site (2287 to 2652, MVM numbering system). The virally encoded NS1 protein was shown by DNA precipitation to bind directly or indirectly through a cellular factor to the DPE. This interaction is suggested to be involved in the up regulation of the P38 promoter of MVM. Finally, with a DNase I protection assay performed on a fragment containing the DPE, we estimated the sequence involved in the binding of a factor present in uninfected and infected extracts. The correlation between the binding and transcription activation is discussed. |

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.
