| Abstract | HPV types associated with genital disease are termed "high-risk" or "low-risk" viruses according to their prevalence in cancers. Two viral genes, E6 and E7, are invariably expressed in cervical carcinomas. The E7 gene product has been found to bind the retinoblastoma tumor suppressor protein and to be phosphorylated by casein kinase II. Although present in both high- and low-risk E7 proteins, these activities are diminished in the low-risk HPV-6 E7 polypeptide. To better understand the oncogenic potential of the HPV-6 E7 protein, we replaced four of its amino acids with HPV-16 E7 residues present in the analogous region of the N-terminal half of the protein. Replacement of the arginine at position 4 of the HPV-6 E7 protein with an aspartate present in HPV-16 E7 slowed the mobility of the protein when expressed in vivo. Replacement of the glycine at position 22 with an aspartate resulted in higher affinity for retinoblastoma protein binding. Replacement of valine residues at positions 30 and 37 with asparagine and aspartate, respectively, resulted in higher levels of casein kinase II phosphorylation. The substitution at position 22 was the only mutation that exhibited increased transforming activity, suggesting a correlation between the HPV E7 protein affinity for the retinoblastoma tumor suppressor protein and its ability to transform established cells. Our results show that subtle changes in sequence may result in marked differences in biological activity of HPV oncogenes. |

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.
