| Abstract | The cardiac myosin light-chain 2v (MLC-2v) gene has served as a model system to identify the pathways which restrict the expression of cardiac muscle genes to particular chambers of the heart during cardiogenesis. To identify the critical cis regulatory elements which mediate ventricular chamber-specific expression of the MLC-2v gene in the in vivo context, a series of transgenic mice which harbor mutations in putative MLC-2 cis regulatory elements in a 250-bp MLC-2-luciferase fusion gene which is expressed in a ventricular chamber-specific fashion in transgenic mice were generated. These studies demonstrate that both components of HF-1 (HF-1a and HF-1b/MEF-2) are required to maintain ventricular chamber-specific expression and function as positive regulatory elements. Mutations in another conserved element (HF-2) are without statistically significant effect on ventricular chamber expression. Transgenics harboring mutations in the E-box site also displayed significant upregulation of reporter activity in the soleus, gastrocnemius, and uterus, with a borderline effect on expression in liver. Mutations in another conserved element (HF-3) result in a marked (> 75-fold) upregulation of the luciferase reporter activity in the soleus muscle of multiple independent or transgenic founders. Since the HF-3 mutations appeared to have only a marginal effect on luciferase reporter activity in liver tissue, HF-3 appears to function as a novel negative regulatory element to primarily suppress expression in muscle tissues. Thus, a combination of positive (HF-1a/HF-1b) and negative (E-box and HF-3) regulatory elements appear to be required to maintain ventricular chamber-specific expression in the in vivo context. |

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.
