| Abstract | The adenovirus immediate-early protein E1A activates the adenovirus E2 promoter and several cellular gene promoters through transcription factor E2F. The immediate-early proteins of human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) can complement an E1A-deficient adenovirus mutant and activate the adenovirus E2 promoter. HCMV also has been shown to activate the adenovirus E2 promoter. On the basis of these findings, we have investigated whether HCMV can activate the promoter of the cellular dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) gene, which requires E2F binding for maximal promoter activity. We show that HCMV activates the DHFR promoter and that products of the HCMV major immediate-early gene region mediate the activation of the promoter specifically through the E2F site. We used gel mobility shift assays to search for potential molecular mechanisms for this activation and found an "infection-specific" multimeric complex that bound to the E2F sites in the DHFR and E2 promoters in extracts from HCMV-infected cells but not in extracts from uninfected cells. Several antibodies against HCMV immediate-early gene products had no effect on this infection-specific complex. Subsequently, the complex was found to contain E2F, cyclin A, p33cdk2, and p107 and to be similar to S-phase-specific complexes that recently have been identified in several cell types. A functional role for the binding of the cyclin A-p33cdk2 complex to cellular gene promoters has yet to be demonstrated; however, HCMV infection causes the induction of both cellular DNA replication and transcription of growth-related genes containing E2F sites in their promoters. The findings described above therefore may relate to both of these effects of HCMV infection. We also provide evidence that some of the molecular events associated with adenovirus infection are different from those associated with HCMV infection. |

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.
