Mutation description

• Allele Type: Targeted (Null/knockout)
• Mutation: Insertion
• Mutation details: Stop codons were introduced into all three reading frames of the intronless gene by the insertion a translation frameshift linker into the amino-terminal centromere DNA-binding domain. An IRES-hygromycin selection marker was inserted in the 3' untranslated region upstream of the poly adenylation signal. Mice possessing both this allele and Cenpb^tm1Khac were shown to lack Cenpb transcript and no CENPB protein was detected by immunofloureescence staining of metaphase chromosomes. (J:47171)
