| Abstract | The male-specific lethal (MSL) complex of Drosophila is responsible for the presence of a monoacetylated isoform of histone H4 (H4Ac16), found exclusively on the X chromosome of males. This particular covalent modification of histone H4 is correlated with a 2-fold enhancement of the transcription of most X-linked genes in Drosophila males, which is the basis of dosage compensation in this organism. Although widespread along the X chromosome, the MSL complex is not distributed uniformly, as can be seen by the indirect cytoimmunofluorescence staining of larval salivary-gland polytene chromosomes. This distribution pattern has been interpreted as a reflection of the tissue-specific transcriptional activity of the larval salivary gland and as an indication that the MSL complex associates with active chromatin. We have tested this hypothesis by comparing the chromosomal distribution of the complex in two different tissues. We performed this comparison by following the pattern of association of the complex at a specific site on salivary-gland chromosomes during larval development and determining whether an ectopic promoter located in a complex-devoid region of the X chromosome is able to attract the complex upon activation. Our results indicate that, in contrast to other chromatin-remodeling complexes that enhance transcription, the MSL complex targets active chromatin. |

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.
