| Abstract | Two sets of eucaryotic expression vectors encoding trans-acting hammerhead ribozymes and trans-acting hairpin ribozymes were constructed. In one set of vectors ribozyme RNA transcription was placed under the control of a mouse mammary tumor virus long terminal repeat (MMTV-LTR). In the other set ribozyme expression was controlled by a metallothionein IIA (Mt-IIA) promoter. Each ribozyme was directed to the first target sequence in the Alzheimer amyloid peptide precursor mRNA (beta APP mRNA), 5' decreases GUC decreases 3'. Ribozyme RNA transcribed from these vectors, which should cleave all six alternatively spliced forms of beta APP mRNA as well as beta APP pre-mRNA, was shown to cleave a beta APP RNA substrate analog in vitro. Stably transfected COS-7 cell lines bearing both vector types were prepared. Steady-state levels of beta APP mRNA were reduced 25-30% in cells containing either active or mutant hammerhead ribozyme vectors driven by the MMTV-LTR promoter grown in the presence of glucocorticoids. In cell lines bearing Mt-IIA driven ribozymes steady-state levels of beta APP mRNA were reduced 67-80% in both hammerhead and hairpin ribozyme containing cell lines following promoter induction by glucocorticoids. These levels correlate with the appearance of low levels of induced ribozyme RNA. In contrast, steady-state alpha-actin mRNA and G3PDH mRNA levels in these cells remained constant. Western blotting of cell extracts revealed that all forms of beta APP were correspondingly reduced. Neither the RNA nor protein decreases observed in ribozyme transfected cell lines were observed in stably transfected control cells bearing the vector alone. These results suggest that ribozyme-mediated degradation of beta APP mRNA in COS-7 cells does not depend on ribozyme cleavage. |

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.
