| Abstract | Activation of T cells by an antigen, a mitogen, or a combination of a phorbol ester (12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate [TPA]) and a calcium ionophore (A23187) leads to induction of a set of lymphokine genes. Treatment of human T-cell leukemia line Jurkat by a mitogen or p40x, a transactivator protein encoded by human T-cell leukemia virus type I, activates many transfected lymphokine genes in a transient transfection assay. To study the mechanism of lymphokine gene induction, we examined the effects of mitogen stimulation and p40x on the gene for the mouse granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) in Jurkat cells. Deletion and mutation analyses showed that the 5'-flanking region of the gene for the GM-CSF is composed of two types of regulatory elements. One sequence, located at positions -95 to -73, determines response to stimulation by either TPA-A23187 or p40x. This region contains conserved lymphokine element 2, which appears in the gene for interleukin 3 (IL-3) and is followed by a GC-rich stretch. This GC-rich stretch alone specifies inducible response to p40x but not to TPA-A23187. Another sequence, located at positions -113 to -96 upstream of a TATA-like sequence, mediates inducible response to p40x but not to TPA-A23187. This sequence includes conserved lymphokine element 1, which appears in several lymphokine-cytokine genes, such as those for IL-3, G-CSF, and IL-2. We previously showed that the simian virus 40 early region promoter was also induced by a mitogen or p40x in Jurkat cells. Deletion analysis showed that the minimum region require for stimulation by both signals are identical. These results, which indicate that p40(x) stimulates transcription of the gene for the GM-CSF or the simian virus 40 early region promoter through the same DNA element or an overlapping DNA element required for induction by a mitogen, lend further support to the notion that p40(x) can exert its function by activating a component(s) of the T-cell signal transduction pathway which is activated by an antigen or a mitogen. |

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.
