Spontaneous Allele Detail

Summary

• Symbol: Vps52^t-w5+Art
• Name: VPS52 GARP complex subunit; wild type revertant, Karen Artzt
• MGI ID: MGI:5469354
• Gene: Vps52 Location: Chr17:34174786-34186009 bp, + strand Genetic Position: Chr17, 17.98 cM

Mutation origin

• Strain of Origin: wild-derived

Mutation description

• Allele Type: Spontaneous
• Mutation: Nucleotide repeat expansion
• Mutation details: A 3 nucleotide insertion of GGG is detected at the start of exon 2 in a stretch of consecutive G nucleotides (9 in the wild-type C57BL/6 sequence). The insertion of an additional G relative to Vps52^t-w5 restores the reading frame to a wild-type reading frame. Western blot analysis with an antibody directed against amino acids 496-509 detects the protein band in kidney tissue from homozygous mice. This mutation is found in the t^w5G haplotype. (J:190873)
