Mutation origin

• Strain of Origin: (102 x C3H/El)F1

Mutation description

• Allele Type: Chemically induced (ENU)
• Mutation: Single point mutation
• Mutation details: An A to G transition at position 755 resulted in a His209Arg substitution in the basic domain of the protein, important for DNA-E box binding. The mutant protein was not able to bind to E-box DNA as was shown by gel shift analysis. (J:89276)
• Inheritance: Semidominant
