Strain Description
Lmx1a encodes a LIM homeodomain (LIM-hd) protein that is expressed in the roof plate along the neuraxis during CNS development. The Lmx1adr-J mutation replaces a conserved cysteine in the LIM1 domain of the protein with a tyrosine (Millonig et al. 2000).

Mice homozygous for Lmx1adr-Jare identifiable at birth by a thin filament extending from the end of the tail, which drops off within a few days, and a short or blunt tail. They may also have a head bleb. When fur develops, there may be a white belly spot. Lmx1adr-J/Lmx1adr-J mice are ataxic and hyperactive and have difficulty righting themselves, and they do not reproduce (Sweet and Wahlsten 1983). They also exhibit circling behavior, are deaf, and have inner ear and vertebral malformations (Manzanares et al. 2000).

Lmx1adr-J homozygotes exhibit defects of three classes of anatomic structures: the hindbrain roof plate, neural crest derived tissues, and the axial skeleton. Failure of roofplate development results in absence of dorsal interneurons of the spinal cord and of granule neurons of the cerebellar cortex and failure of the dorsal vertebral neural arches to form (Millonig et al. 2000). The cerebellum is smaller than normal, in some cases virtually absent, and exhibits disrupted foliation (Sweet and Wahlsten 1983; Sekiguchi et al. 1992). The cytoarchitectural organization of the neocortex, the hippocampus and the dentate gyrus is disrupted (Sekiguchi et al. 1992, 1993, 1994, 1996). Skeletal anomalies include abnormal neural crest derived cranial bones and improper fusion of cervical and thoracic vertebrae at the dorsal midline (Mananares et al. 2000). Deafness may be the consequence of "serious morphogenetic defects of the otic vesicle due to the dorsal neural tube abnormalities," perhaps augmented by "abnormal sensory and motor projections" in the region of rhombomeres 4-6 (Manzanares et al. 2000). Although they have no external or behavioral phenotype, 50% of heterozygotes exhibit histological pathology of the hippocampus qualitatively similar, but less extensive, than that of homozygotes (Patrylo et al. 1990).

Strain Development
The Lmx1adr-J mutation, originally called sstJ and later known as drsst-J and as drJ, arose in the C3FeB6-A/Aw-J-ank colony in the Mouse Mutant Stocks Center at The Jackson Laboratory (Sweet and Wahlsten 1983). Since its discovery, it has been maintained by crossing ovary transplant recipients to B6C3Fe-a/a males; the black coat color of the present background makes it easy to distinguish pups derived from the transplanted ovary from any that might result from residual host ovarian tissue. Identification of the alleles for markers flanking Lmx1a in Lmx1adr-J/Lmx1adr-J progeny of B6C3Fe a/a-Lmx1adr-J/J pairs demonstrated that the mutation occurred on the C3H chromosome (Millonig et al. 2000).

Gene & Allele Details

Allele Name dreher Jackson
Common Name(s) sstJ;
Strain of OriginC3FeB6 A/Aw-J-Ankank/J
Gene Symbol and Name Lmx1a, LIM homeobox transcription factor 1 alpha
Chromosome 1
Gene Common Name(s) LMX-1; LMX1; LMX1.1; MGC87616; dr; dreher; shaker short-tail; sst;
General Note Abnormalities of cytoarchitectonics have been studied in the hippocampus and cerebellum of drJ/drJ mice (J:1460). An abnormal distribution of acetylcholinesterase accompanies the cytoarchitectonic abnormalities (J:14476). A disruption of neuronal migration may lie behind these abnormal conditions (J:17085).
Molecular Note A G-to-A transition mutation results in a conserved cysteine to a tyrosine amino acid change in the LIM1 domain of the encoded protein. The conserved cysteine is thought to be required for coordination of zinc that is essential for the function of the LIM domain, and thus the transcriptional activity of the protein.

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.
