Description
Originally inbred at the Rockefeller Institute, AKR mice are widely used in cancer research for their high leukemia incidence (60-90%) and in immunology as a source of the Thy1.1 (theta AKR) antigen. AKR/J mice are viremic from birth, and express the ecotropic retrovirus AKV in all tissues. The hair interior defect (hid) mutation, a strain characteristic of AKR mice, causes alterations in hair development that is only evident microscopically. Adrenocortical lipid depletion (ald) in AKR mice is caused by a mutation in sterol O-acyltransferase 1 (Soat1), and leads to a truncated SOAT1 protein. AKR/J mice are relatively resistant to aortic lesion formation on a semi-synthetic high fat diet and are hyporesponsive to diets containing high levels of fat and cholesterol.

General Note		This is an allele characteristic of various inbred mouse strains including the following: A/HeJ, AKR/J, DBA/2J, NZB/B1NJ, SWR/J, B10.D2/oSnJ Hc was identified as a candidate gene for Abhr2 in a microarray analysis of lung mRNA from A/J, C3H/HeJ, and (A/J x C3H/HeJ)F1 x A/J backcross animals. Hc genotype shows statistically significant correlation to allergen-induced bronchial hyperresponsive phenotype. The A/J allele contains a 2 bp deletion resulting in deficient Hc mRNA and protein production and is associated with susceptibility to allergen-induced bronchial hyperresponsiveness. (J:108211)
Molecular Note		A 2 base "TA" deletion at positions 62 and 63 of an 83 base pair exon near the 5' end of the gene is found in the following mouse strains: A/HeJ, AKR/J, DBA/2J, NZB/B1NJ, SWR/J, B10.D2/oSnJ. The consequence of this deletion is the creation of a stop codon starting four bases after the deletion. A truncated product of 216 amino acids is predicted as a result although contradictory reports exist that a larger pro-C5 protein may be synthesized. Nevertheless, macrophages from mouse strains carrying this allele do not secrete complement 5. [MGI Ref ID J:23983]

Molecular Note		Sequence analysis revealed A/J mice lack the sequence corresponding to exon 8, which encodes 10 amino acid residues in the extracellular domain. Aberrant splicing was due to a 5 base pair deletion at the branch point in intron 7. [MGI Ref ID J:23971]

General Note		In homozygotes, spontaneous lipid depletion in the adrenal cortex occurs at puberty. In adult males the lipid depletion depends on the presence of gonads in both sexes and on the presence of the hypophysis (J:5089). There is a higher than normal turnover of RNA per cell in all three zones of the cortex in Soat1ald homozygotes (J:5158). The depleted lipid consists of cholesterol esters, but not of free cholesterol or triglycerides(J:5333). The site of action of Soat1ald is notin the adrenal gland as shown by normal lipid content of homozygote adrenals after transplantation into normal mice (J:12966). The phenotype of the Soat1 targeted mutant mice, and the location of Soat1 on Chr 1, suggest that the adrenocortical lipid depletion (ald) mutation might be a mutation in Soat1. A deletion of an exon and two missense mutations in Soat1 from ald mice, and failure of ald mice to complement Soat1 targeted mutant mice, confirm this suggestion (J:42073). Soat1ald is not a null mutation. The enzyme from mutant mice catalyzes cholesterol esterification, but may be susceptible to modifying factors to produce the lipid depletion (J:42073).
Molecular Note		Deletion of 118 bp in the a Soat1 mRNA. This region corresondes to the 5'UTR and the initial coding sequences. In addition, two missense mutations were observed: A1248G resulting in Ile to Val at amino acid 147 and C1422T resulting in His to Tyr at amino acid 205. Other nucleotide differences were observed that did not result in amino acid changes. A truncated protein is expressed from this allele, presumably due to internal initiation. [MGI Ref ID J:42073]

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.
