| Abstract | An upstream region from the transcription initiation site to -177 base pairs (bp) of the human alpha-cardiac actin gene directs the transient expression of a bacterial chloramphenicol acetyltransferase (CAT) gene only in muscle cells (A. Minty and L. Kedes, Mol. Cell. Biol. 6:2125-2136, 1986). We modified this promoter region by additional 5' deletions, linker-scanning mutations, and insertion-deletion mutations and demonstrated that the asymmetrical sequences in and adjacent to two CArG [for CC(A + T rich)6GG] motifs, located at -140 and -100 bp, play an important positive role in transcription. The significant impairment of transcriptional activity that accompanies the disruption of one CArG box region can be restored by either. This demonstrated that these two elements interact in a mutually dependent and similar manner. Furthermore, a DNA fragment that includes the CArG boxes had significant competitive activity for transcription directed by the alpha-cardiac actin promoter in an in vivo competition assay. We conclude that the two sequences around each CArG box may interact with the same class of trans-acting positive factor(s) and that these interactions may mediate muscle-specific expression. Each of the two CArG regions appears to be bound independently by such a positive factor(s), and the regions support high-level transcription in a synergistic manner. The transcriptional activity of this regulatory region is proportional to its distance from a TATA box (at -30 bp) and is strictly orientation dependent relative to the direction of transcription. Therefore this upstream region is not an enhancer but is a tissue-specific regulatory upstream element. |

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.
