| Abstract | The E2 transactivator protein of bovine papillomavirus 1 (BPV-1) can strongly stimulate complex promoters such as that of the herpes simplex virus thymidine kinase gene but does not efficiently activate minimal promoters that only contain E2 binding sites and a TATA box. Here we show that overexpression of the human, but not yeast, TATA box binding protein (TBP) in transfection experiments overcomes this block and enables E2 to activate a minimal TATA box-containing promoter. This suggests that recruitment of the TFIID complex to such promoters is normally a rate limiting step for transcriptional activation by E2 in vivo. In contrast, minimal promoters that contain an initiator element in addition to a TATA box are efficiently activated by E2 on its own and this activation is only moderately enhanced by TBP overexpression. In such E2-responsive promoters the TATA box or initiator can be functionally replaced by SP1 binding sites. Both the initiator binding protein, TFII-I, and SP1 have been found to interact physically with components of the TFIID complex. Since either TBP overexpression or the presence of an initiator or SP1 binding sites can increase activation by E2, it seems likely that the principal role of the E2 activation domain is to affect a step in the formation of the transcription initiation complex that occurs after TFIID has bound to the promoter. Sequential action of transcription factors, such as TFII-I, SP1 and E2, may be one type of mechanism underlying the widely observed phenomenon of transcriptional synergy. |

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.
