| Abstract | The mts1 gene is specifically expressed in certain metastatic tumors but not in their nonmetastatic counterparts. It is also expressed in several normal cell and tissue types that exhibit the ability to be motile. The gene was cloned from both mouse and human sources and the 5' flanking regions were sequenced. The sequencing data revealed a 135-base-pair region of high homology between the mouse and human mts1 gene. This homology was observed in the vicinity of the TATA box. The 5' region of the mts1 gene was also observed to have a high degree of homology to some known promoter and enhancer sequences. To determine the role this region plays in regulating the transcription of mts1, promoter analysis was performed. Sixteen constructs were prepared in which the chloramphenicol acetyltransferase gene was fused to different regions of the mouse mts1 promoter. These constructs were analyzed in transient transfection assays in two related cell lines derived from mouse mammary adenosarcomas: CSML-0, a nonmetastatic cell line with low levels of mts1 expression, and CSML-100, a metastatic cell line with high levels of mts1 expression. Results of our transient transfection assays in conjunction with results obtained from in vitro and in vivo footprinting of the promoter region show no evidence of cis-acting control elements important for the transcriptional regulation of mts1 in these cell lines. A few nucleotides upstream of the TATA box are sufficient for maximal levels of mts1 transcription. Because no cis-acting control elements were found, restriction of mts1 transcription in CSML-0 cells must exist on some other level. mts1 was found to be hypermethylated in CSML-0 cells but not in CSML-100 cells. The possible role of methylation in progression of the nonmetastatic CSML-0 adenosarcoma cell line toward the metastatic CSML-100 adenosarcoma cell line is discussed. |

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.
