| Abstract | The long terminal repeats (LTRs) of the human immunodeficiency virus type 2 (HIV-2) and a related simian immunodeficiency virus (SIVmac) contain cis-acting positive regulatory elements upstream and the major transactivator gene (tat) response element and a possible negative regulatory element downstream of the transcriptional initiation site. The tat response element of HIV-2 and of SIVmac was more complex than that of HIV-1. Two structurally similar subelements within the HIV-2 tat response element could be identified. Both of these subelements were required for optimal transactivation by the HIV-2 tat gene product. Either of these subelements, however, was sufficient for transactivation by the HIV-1 tat gene product. These observations provide an explanation for the poor transactivation of HIV-1 LTR-directed gene expression by the HIV-2 tat gene product since the HIV-1 LTR contains an analog of only one of the HIV-2 subelements. The HIV-2 tat gene product also affected the function of the upstream elements, including enhancer activity. The response of these cis elements of HIV-2 to transactivation by HIV-2/SIVmac and HIV-1 tat gene differed somewhat in virus-infected and tat gene transfected cells, probably related to the differences in the effective concentration of the tat gene products and/or other viral or cellular factors. The steady-state levels of HIV-2 LTR-linked gene transcripts were much higher in the presence of HIV-2, SIVmac, and HIV-1 tat genes than in their absence, suggesting transcriptional modulation as a mechanism for tat gene function. |

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.
