| Abstract | Previous genetic analysis has localized the region of the Rous sarcoma virus (RSV) env gene responsible for host range specificity to that encoding the middle one-third of gp85. To better understand the host range determinants, the relevant regions of the genomes of infectious molecular clones of the transformation-defective Prague strain of RSV, subgroup B (Pr-RSV-B) and Rous-associated virus 0 (RAV-0) (subgroup E) were sequenced and compared with the sequence of Pr-RSV-C. This comparative analysis identified two variable regions of low amino acid sequence homology flanked by highly conserved amino acid sequences. The first variable region (hr1) begins at base 5654 in the Pr-RSV-C sequence and encodes 32 amino acids. The second variable region (hr2) begins at base 5846 and encodes 27 amino acids. To test the role of the variable regions in host range specificity, we determined the sequence of this region of the env gene of NTRE-4, a recombinant virus between Pr-RSV-B and RAV-0 which exhibits an extended host range. This analysis revealed that the recombinant subgroup-encoding region of NTRE-4 is composed of 200 bases of RAV-0 sequence, including hr2, flanked by sequences which are otherwise of Pr-RSV-B origin. This study indicates that hr1 and hr2 are the domains of gp85 responsible for host range determination in avian retroviruses. |

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.
