| Abstract | It has been recently shown that malignant activation of the c-has/bas proto-oncogene in T24 human bladder carcinoma cells was mediated by a single point mutation. A deoxyguanosine located at position 35 of the first exon of this proto-oncogene was substituted by thymidine. These findings predicted that the resulting oncogene would code for a structurally altered p21 protein containing valine instead of glycine as its 12th amino acid residue. We now report the spontaneous activation of the human c-has/bas proto-oncogene during transfection of NIH/3T3 cells. As in T24 cells, this in vitro activated oncogene also acquired malignant properties by a single point mutation. In this case we have detected a G leads to A transition, which occurred at the same position as the mutation responsible for the activation of the T24 oncogene. These results predict that the p21 protein coded for by the spontaneously activated c-has/bas gene will incorporate aspartic acid as its 12th amino acid residue. Computer analysis of the secondary structure of c-has/bas encoded p21 proteins indicates that substitution of the glycine residue located at position 12, not only by aspartic acid or valine but also by any other amino acid, would result in the same structural alteration. These findings indicate that a specific conformational change is sufficient to confer transforming properties to this p21 protein. Moreover, they predict that any mutation affecting the coding properties of the 12th codon of the c-has/bas proto-oncogene will lead to its malignant activation. |

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.
