| Abstract | The 44-amino-acid E5 protein of bovine papillomavirus type 1 is the smallest transforming protein yet described. Previous results from our laboratory indicate that a hydrophobic core and specific carboxyl-terminal amino acids are required for the E5 protein to exert its transforming function. In this study, additional substitution mutations were generated in the E5 gene to determine the minimal amino acid sequence requirements for focus formation in mouse C127 cells. In most cases examined, substitution of the hydrophobic middle third of the E5 protein with unrelated hydrophobic sequences severely inhibited transforming activity. However, we have identified one hydrophobic amino acid sequence apparently unrelated to the wild-type one that can replace the middle third of the wild-type E5 protein without affecting the ability of the protein to stably transform cells or interact with cell membranes. Furthermore, a mutant E5 protein in which only the carboxyl-terminal 16 amino acids of the protein have been derived from E5 sequences retains transforming activity. Since several residues in the carboxyl-terminal portion of the E5 protein can be freely substituted with different amino acids (B. H. Horwitz, A. L. Burkhardt, R. Schlegel, and D. DiMaio, Mol. Cell. Biol. 8:4071-4078, 1988), the results reported here imply that much of the specific information necessary for cell transformation can be supplied by a subset of the carboxyl-terminal 16 amino acids of this protein. |

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.
