| Abstract | To locate the enhancer regions of the feline endogenous RD-114 long terminal repeat (LTR), we examined expression of the chloramphenicol acetyltransferase gene driven by various segments of the U3 region from two different proviral loci (CRL3 and CR1). Transient expression assays demonstrated that the primary signal sequence for transcription enhancement was located within the 63-base-pair (bp) element of the CRL3 DNA occurring between positions -184 and -121 from the CAP site (+1), whereas the similar region of CR1 was almost inactive. This element from both CRL3 and CR1 contained a single 30-bp sequence (direct repeat [DR]-B2) found in duplicate tandem copies in the LTR of the infectious RD-114 provirus. Two 9-bp inverted repeats marked the DR-B unit of the active element, and a prominent base deletion in one of these repeats in CR1 DNA appeared to be related to loss of enhancer activity. Another segment of CRL3 (-296 to -184), also displaying enhancer function, contained tandem repeated sequences (DR-A1 and DR-A2). The Dr-A2 unit, which lacked the 5' 20-bp sequence of the 47-pb DR-A1, could not function as an enhancer by itself, but it contributed to enhancer effects in cooperation with either the DR-A1 or DR-B2 region. The CR1 LTR contained a single DR-A1 sequence with extensive mutations, and the region (-313 to -181) containing this DR-A1 unit was nonfunctional, similar to the DR-B2 region of CR1. Site-directed mutagenesis analysis of another enhancer element, an octamer motif occurring between CAAT and TATA boxes of all RD-114 LTRs sequenced, revealed that this element was necessary for full enhancer function of the U3 region but with a variable effect, depending on the cell types in which chloramphenicol acetyltransferase expression was determined. |

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.
