| Abstract | The ability of eukaryotic mRNAs to serve as primers for influenza virus RNA transcription depends on the presence of a 5'-terminal methylated can structure, the absence of which eliminates essentially all priming activity [Plotch, S. J., Bouloy, M. & Krug, R. M. (1979) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 76, 1618-1622]. The present study was undertaken to determine the extent to which each of the methyl groups in the cap influences the priming activity of a mRNA. To assess the importance of the 2'-O-methyl group on the penultimate base of the cap, we used several plant viral RNAs containing the monomethylated cap 0 structure, m7GpppG. Brome mosaic virus (BMV) RNA 4 stimulated influenza virus RNA transcription only about 10-15% as effectively as did globin mRNA, which has a cap with a 2'-O-methyl group. When the cap of BMV RNA 4 was enzymatically 2'-O-methylated, its priming activity was increased 14-fold. Qualitatively similar results were obtained with other plant virus RNAs. To assess the importance of the terminal 7-methyl group, BMV RNA 4 containing the cap structure GpppGm was prepared by a series of chemical and enzymatic steps. These molecules were found to be only about 15% as active in priming as BMV RNA 4 molecules containing the fully methylated cap, m7GpppGm, indicating that the terminal 7-methyl group also strongly enhances priming activity. These results indicate that the cap 1 structure (m7GpppXm) found in all mammalian cellular mRNAs is more stringently required for priming influenza virus RNA transcription than for translation in cell-free systems. |

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.
