| Abstract | Ribonucleotide reductase is a highly regulated enzyme that provides the four deoxyribonucleotides required for DNA synthesis. Our studies showed that TGF-beta 1 treatment of BALB/c 3T3 mouse fibroblasts markedly elevated ribonucleotide reductase R2 mRNA levels, and also increased the half-life of R2 message by 4-fold from 1.5 h in untreated cells to 6 h in treated cells. We describe a novel 75 Kd sequence-specific cytoplasmic factor (p75) that binds selectively to a 83-nucleotide 3'-untranslated region of R2 mRNA and did not bind to the 5'UTR, the coding region of the R2 message or to the 3'UTRs of other mRNAs (from c-myc, GM-CSF and the iron responsive element from the transferrin receptor mRNA), or to the homopolymer poly(A) sequence. p75-RNA binding activity, which requires new protein synthesis, is not present in untreated cells, but is induced following TGF-beta 1 stimulation. The in vivo kinetics of appearance of p75 binding activity paralleled the accumulation of R2 mRNA. Insertion of the 3'-untranslated region into the chloramphenicol acetyltransferase (CAT) message confers TGF-beta 1 induced stability of RNA in stably transfected cells, while the same insert carrying a deletion of the 83-nucleotide fragment had little affect on RNA levels. Furthermore, in vitro decay reactions that contained the 83-nucleotide RNA or deletion of this fragment caused a significant decrease in TGF-beta 1 stabilization of R2 message. A model is presented of R2 message regulation in which TGF-beta 1 mediated stabilization of R2 message involves a specific interaction of a p75-trans-acting factor with a cis-element(s) stability determinant within the 83-nucleotide sequence which is linked to a reduction in the rate of R2 mRNA degradation. |

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.
