Mutation origin

• Germline Transmission: Earliest citation of germline transmission: J:36148
• Parent Cell Line: AB2.1 (ES Cell)
• Strain of Origin: 129S7/SvEvBrd-Hprt1^b-m2

Mutation description

• Allele Type: Targeted (Null/knockout)
• Mutations: Insertion, Intragenic deletion
• Mutation details: A human HPRT minigene driven by the PGK promoter replaced exons 1 and 2, and sequences approximately 500 bp immediately 5' of exon 1. The replaced region encodes the transcription and translation start sites, the mitochondrial targeting sequence, and one of three histidines that bind directly to the manganese cofactor. Northern blot analysis of brain did not detect mRNA in homozygous mutant mice. Enzyme activity assays of heart did not detect active protein in homozygous mutant mice. (J:36148)
