| Abstract | The high degree of methylation of the frog virus 3 (FV3) genome suggests that FV3-infected cells are capable of transcribing highly methylated DNA. We tested this hypothesis by assaying the transcriptional activity of adenovirus promoters known to be inhibited by methylation. Plasmid constructs containing the E1a and E2aE promoters of adenovirus type 12 linked to the gene for chloramphenicol acetyltransferase [(CAT) EC 2.3.1.28], when methylated and introduced into eukaryotic cells, promoted CAT synthesis only when the cells were subsequently infected with FV3. Mapping of transcriptional initiation sites revealed that the same sites in the E1a promoter were used for the initiation of transcription in uninfected and infected cells. Moreover, Southern blots showed that transfected plasmid DNA from FV3-infected cells was not demethylated. The absence of CAT-specific RNA in transfected cells infected with FV3 in the presence of protein synthesis inhibitors demonstrated that a virus-induced protein was responsible for the trans-activation. Inhibition of transcription from the methylated template by alpha-amanitin indicated that a functional host RNA polymerase II is required for transcription of methylated DNA in FV3-infected cells. The virus-induced trans-acting protein presumably alters either host RNA polymerase II or the methylated DNA template to allow transcription from the methylated adenovirus promoters. |

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.
