Related Genotype: a/a Myo5adfd /Myo5adfd

Development
Fur deficient (fd) arose spontaneously in DBA/2J in 1966 at The Jackson Laboratory. It was outcrossed to C57BL/6J once and the F1 was backcrossed to a DBA2/J-fd homozygote. It was then sibling mated using a Myo5ad fd/Myo5ad fd male and a Myo5ad fd/+ + female. Close linkage was found between Myo5ad and fd and the stock was maintained by sibling matings keeping the two loci in coupling phase. It was cryopreserved in 1991 by mating Myo5ad fd/Myo5ad fd or Myo5ad fd/+ + males at F47 to C57BL/6J females.

General Note Mutations at the Myo5a locus lighten coat color through an abnormal morphology of melanocytes that causes uneven pigmentation of the hair shaft (J:11005). Most of these mutations also cause severe neurological defects; in some mutant forms, these defectslead to early death (J:12978), while in others life span is normal, but convulsions and loss of equilibrium occur after about four months of age (J:16915).

Maltese dilution, as this mutation was originally called, is an old mutation of the mouse fancy. The blue-gray color of the hair produced by this mutation in nonagouti (a/a) mice is caused by clumping of the melanin pigment into a few large masses (J:12958). The melanocytes are misshapen, with fewer and thinner dendritic processes than wild-type melanocytes, and melanin granules are largely clumped around the nucleus (J:12970). Incorporation of tyrosine into melanin proceeds at a normal rate (J:12173), and the fine structure of the melanin granules is normal (J:5346). Cultured primary melanocytesfrom dilute homozygotes are normal in morphology but display clustering of melanosomes (J:37976).

Griscelli disease (Chediak-Higashi-like syndrome, OMIM 214450) is a human autosomal recessive disorder whose symptoms include pigment dilution, immunodeficiency, and acute lethal lymphocyte and macrophage activation. Melanocyte malformation is characteristic of the pigment abnormality. The immunological abnormality includes absence of cutaneous hypersensitivity and impaired function of natural-killer cells. Griscelli disease resembles the dilute-lethal mouse mutant, except for the neurological disorder in the mouse. The locus for Griscelli disease colocalizes with the locus for myosin Va, which is mutated in at least some Griscelli patients. Griscelli disease is thus the homolog of mouse Maltese dilution (J:41253).

The original Myo5ad mutation which identified the locuswas caused by insertion of an ecotropic murine leukemia virus (see Emv3) (J:6844, J:6587). All other mutations examined lack the virus. Reversions of Myo5ad to wild-type, which have been reported frequently, are caused by excision of the virusleaving exactly one long terminal repeat in place (J:7092). The virus is integrated into a noncoding region of the DNA (J:7751).

Molecular Note This mutation is the result of the integration of the ecotropic murine leukemia virus Emv-3 into the normal Myo5ad gene. [MGI Ref ID J:6587]

Supply Notes
  • Cryorecovery - Standard.
    The recovery process begins when a signed agreement form is returned to the Customer Service Department after order placement. Although results vary by strain, at least two males and two females (two pairs) will be provided, typically within 15 weeks of our receipt of the signed agreement form. If the first recovery attempt is unsuccessful or only one pair is recovered, a second recovery will be done, extending the delivery time to approximately 25 weeks. At least one member of each pair will be of known genotype and will carry the mutation if it is a mutant strain. Please note that pairs may not reflect the mating scheme utilized by The Jackson Laboratory prior to cryopreservation of the strain. Mating schemes are sometimes modified for successful cryopreservation. Price represents a repository maintenance fee, which includes the cost of recovery of the strain from the cryopreservation resource and the periodic replacement of the frozen embryos used for recovery.

    Cryorecovery to establish a Dedicated Supply for greater quantities of mice.
    One to two pairs will be recovered to establish a Dedicated Supply of mice. Price by quotation. For more information on Dedicated Supply, please contact JAX® Services, Tel: 1-800-422-6423 or 1-207-288-5845.

  • Genomic DNA is available for this strain from the Mouse DNA Resource.

The Jackson Laboratory's Genotype Promise

The Jackson Laboratory has rigorous genetic quality control and mutant gene genotyping programs to ensure the genetic background of JAX® Mice strains as well as the genotypes of strains with identified molecular mutations. JAX® Mice strains are only made available to researchers after meeting our standards. However, the phenotype of each strain may not be fully characterized and/or captured in the strain data sheets. Therefore, we cannot guarantee a strain's phenotype will meet all expectations. To ensure that JAX® Mice will meet the needs of individual research projects or when requesting a strain that is new to your research, we suggest ordering and performing tests on a small number of mice to determine suitability for your particular project.

JAX® Mice & Services Conditions of Use

“Each recipient institution, including its employees and other researchers under its control (RECIPIENT), of mice or services using mice from The Jackson Laboratory (TJL) agrees that such mice, descendants of those mice derived by inbreeding or crossbreeding, including unmodified derivatives of those mice or their descendants (“MICE”) shall not be: (i) used for any purpose other than the internal research of the RECIPIENT, (ii) sold or otherwise provided to any third party for any use, or (iii) provided to any agent or other third party to provide breeding or other services with respect to MICE. Acceptance of MICE from TJL shall be deemed agreement by RECIPIENT to these conditions, and departure from these conditions requires The Jackson Laboratory’s prior written authorization.”

No Warranty

MICE, PRODUCTS AND SERVICES ARE PROVIDED “AS IS”. THE LABORATORY EXTENDS NO WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, WITH RESPECT TO MICE, PRODUCTS OR SERVICES, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR ANY WARRANTY OF NON-INFRINGEMENT OF ANY PATENT, TRADEMARK, OR OTHER INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS.

In case of dissatisfaction for a valid reason and claimed in writing by a purchaser within ninety (90) days of receipt of MICE, products or services, The Jackson Laboratory will, at its option, provide credit or replacement for the MICE or product received or the services provided.
