| Abstract | The adenovirus IVa2 gene, which is expressed at an intermediate time in the viral infectious cycle, is separated from the adenovirus major late promoter (MLP) 5' start site by 210 base pairs and is transcribed from the opposite strand. In contrast to the MLP, the IVa2 gene does not contain a 'TATA' box upstream from its 5' start sites. By using a series of deletion mutants, two upstream control regions that are rich in cytidine residues, one proximal to the cap site at nucleotide positions -39 to -48 and a distal domain between nucleotide positions -152 and -242 have been identified as essential for IVa2 transcription (IVa2 cap site is nucleotide position + 1). Transcription efficiency is decreased by 70-90% after the deletion of a proximal C-rich domain when either linear or supercoiled DNAs were used as template. However, distal sequences functioned as transcriptional control domains only with covalently closed DNA templates. The deletion of both the proximal and distal regions from covalently closed DNA templates reduces the levels of IVa2 transcription by a factor of 100-150. When the plasmid pAd242 that contains the 5' start sites of adenovirus MLP and IVa2 is transcribed, there is essentially a complete suppression of transcription of the adenovirus IVa2 gene. The transcription efficiency of IVa2 is increased 10-fold after deletion of the MLP cap site. A model based on a shared entry site for RNA polymerase II and competition between major late and IVa2 promoters is proposed to explain the in vitro transcriptional results. |

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.
