Targeted conditional deletion of FAT1 transmembrane domain. (A) Strategy used to generate the conditional allele. 1 - Top: genomic organization of the Fat1 locus around the targeted area. 2 - Targeted Fat1 locus, in which exons 24 and 25 (the latter containing the transmembrane domain) were flanked by LoxP sites creating the Fat1^tm1Fhel (Fat1^Fln) allele. The locus also contains a pgk-neo selection cassette, itself flanked by LoxP sites (yellow triangles) and by FRT sites (bluetriangles, for later removal of the pgk-neo cassette only). An external probe (red bar) was used to identify recombinant ES clones by Southern blotting. The sizes of the Nco1 restriction fragments are indicated. 3 -Neo cassette removal is permitted by FRT-mediated excision of the neo cassette, which is flanked with both FRT (blue) and LoxP (yellow) sites. This generates the Fat1^tm1.1Fhel (Fat1^Flox) allele, in which exons 24-25 are flanked on the 5' side with one LoxP site, and onthe 3' side with one leftover FRT site, followed with a LoxP site. 4 - CRE-Recombined Fat1 locus: Genome organisation of the targeted Fat1 locus after cre-mediated excision of the entire fragment comprised between loxP sites, including exons 24-25 and the neo cassette. This new recombined allele is referred to as Fat1^tm1.2Fhel (Fat1^deltaTM) allele. Primers indicated (1 to 7) are the ones used for genotyping by PCR. ES screening primers are givenin the method section.
