| Abstract | Tissue factor (TF) is the primary initiator of the coagulation protease cascades. This cell surface glycoprotein is the receptor and essential cofactor for the serine protease factor VIIa. TF is constitutively expressed in some extravascular cell types and is transiently induced in monocytes, endothelial cells, and fibroblasts. Inducible expression is implicated in cellular immune responses, inflammation, and intravascular coagulation. Transcriptional regulation of the TF promoter was analyzed in COS-7 cells under conditions of (i) high-level expression and (ii) serum induction. The region comprising nucleotides -209 to +121 (relative to the transcription start site) supports high-level transcriptional activity and can be divided into two distinct regions: a region (-111 to +121) that exhibited low promoter activity and a region (-209 to -112) that enhanced transcriptional activity to a high level. The role of further upstream sequences is still to be established, although two consensus binding sites for the transcriptional activator protein AP-1 did enhance low-level promoter activity. In serum-starved COS-7 cells TF expression was transiently increased 20-fold by serum. All transcriptionally active constructs were responsive to serum, indicating the presence of at least one serum response element, whose function was retained in the immediate 5' aspect of the gene, at -111 to +14. Based on this functional map, we propose that the elaborate pattern of TF expression by cells results from a relatively complex promoter. |

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.
