| Abstract | Replication of hepatitis B viruses proceeds by reverse transcription of an RNA intermediate, a reaction catalyzed by the virus-encoded polymerase (P protein). The reaction product is a partially duplex DNA whose (-)-strand is covalently linked to the P protein. Efforts to understand the mechanism of the reaction have been severely retarded by an inability to express functional polymerase outside of viral particles. Here we report the successful expression of enzymatically active polymerase in yeast cells, by fusing the P gene to coding sequences of the retrotransposon Ty1. The enzyme initiates correctly on viral RNA in yeast cells in vivo, producing nascent DNA chains covalently linked to protein, exactly as found in virus-infected cells. Replication complexes isolated from these yeast are enzymatically active in vitro, synthesizing DNA in a reaction that is actinomycin D-resistant but sensitive to RNase pretreatment. These results indicate that P protein is the sole viral protein required for the correct priming of reverse transcription and establish a tractable system for the biochemical dissection of the reaction. |

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.
