| Abstract | We investigated the requisites for, and functional consequences of, the relocation to the nucleus of a transforming nonkaryophilic mutant of the simian virus 40 large T antigen (a natural deletion mutant lacking an internal large-T-antigen domain that includes the signal for nuclear transport). Synthetic oligonucleotides were used to obtain gene variants with one or more copies of the signal-specifying sequence inserted near the gene 3' end, in a region dispensable for the main large-T-antigen functions. The analysis of stable transfectant populations showed that mouse NIH 3T3 cells, rat embryo fibroblasts, and simian CS cells (a subclone of CV1 cells) differed considerably in their ability to localize some variant molecules into the nucleus. CS cells were always the most efficient, and NIH 3T3 cells were the least efficient. The nuclear localization improved either with reiteration of the signal or with a left-flank modification of the signal amino acid context. Three signals appeared to be necessary and sufficient, even in NIH 3T3 cells, to obtain a nuclear accumulation comparable to that of wild-type simian virus 40 large T antigen; other signal-cell combinations caused a large variability in subcellular localization among cells of the same population, as if the nuclear uptake of some molecules depended on individual cell states. The effect of the modified location on the competence of the protein to alter cell growth was examined by comparing the activity of variants containing either the normal signal or a signal with a mutation (corresponding to large-T-antigen amino acid 128) that prevented nuclear transport. It was found that the nuclear variant was slightly more active than the cytoplasmic variants in rat embryo fibroblasts and NIH 3T3 cells and was notably less active in CS cells. |

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.
