| Abstract | In the sea urchin embryo, late histone genes are transcribed at low levels during cleavage and blastula formation and at substantially higher levels in later stages of embryogenesis. To investigate the molecular basis of the stage-specific expression of a late H2B histone gene, we injected mutant genes lacking portions of 5'- and 3'-flanking regions into Lytechinus pictus embryos and monitored their expression by RNase protection. A 200-bp region located 489 bp downstream of the mRNA 3' terminus was necessary for the increase in transcription of the late H2B gene at the mid-blastula stage of development. DNase I and methylation interference footprint analyses located only one factor-binding site in this region, and gel mobility shift experiments showed that the DNA-binding activity of this factor (designated H2B abp 1) paralleled the transcriptional activity of the L1 H2B gene. Additional mutagenesis and microinjection experiments located the activator element to a 32-bp DNA segment that includes the H2B abp 1-binding site. These experiments also showed that the 32-bp fragment functions independently of position and orientation and therefore has the hallmarks of an enhancer. That this fragment contains most or all of the L1 H2B gene transcription-stimulatory activity makes it unusual among enhancerlike elements, which generally consist of several clustered factor-binding sites that act additively or cooperatively to affect transcription. The nucleotide sequence of the L1 H2B enhancer element suggests that the trans-acting factor that interacts with it is a member of the antennapedia or engrailed class of homeodomain proteins. |

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.
