Camk2a^em1Rjco
Endonuclease-mediated Allele Detail

Summary

• Symbol: Camk2a^em1Rjco
• Name: calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II alpha; endonuclease-mediated mutation 1, Roger J Colbran
• MGI ID: MGI:5811610
• Synonyms: CaMKII-E183V
• Gene: Camk2a Location: Chr18:61058704-61121224 bp, + strand Genetic Position: Chr18, 34.41 cM
• Alliance: Camk2a^em1Rjco page

Mutation origin

• Strain of Origin: C57BL/6J x DBA/2J

Mutation description

• Allele Type: Endonuclease-mediated (Humanized sequence)
• Mutation: Nucleotide substitutions
• Mutation details: Using the CRISPR/Cas9 system, the Glu183 codon GAA was targeted and changed to valine codon GTG with the aid of a donor DNA sequence and sgRNA CTCCCCAGAAGTGCTGAGGAAAG. This mutation, in the catalytic domain of the gene, models a novel mutation in a human autism spectrum disorder (ASD) patient. Immunoblots showed a marked reduction in peptide levels for this gene in the forebrain of hetero- and homozygous mutants. (J:239596)
