Related Genotype: a/a Tyrc/TyrcImportant Note
This strain is homozygous for Cdh23ahl and Pde6brd1. The ahl mutation accounts for progressive hearing loss (complete deafness by 2-3 months). See article "Genetic Background Effects: Can Your Mice See?", JAX Notes Spring 2002, No. 485.Strain Description
BUB/BnJ mice carry a specific T cell receptor V beta mutation, making this strain highly susceptible to collagen-induced arthritis. This T cell receptor V beta restriction works in concert with other uncharacterized modifying genes present in BUB/BnJ mice. BUB/BnJ mice carry no detectable endogenous ecotropic MuLV DNA sequences. Mice are also reported to have high serum complement activity. In response to challenge, BUB/BnJ mice develop immune-mediated nephritis characterized by proteinuria, glomerulonephritis and tubulointerstitial disease (Xie et al., 2004).BUB/BnJ mice are homozygous for the Mass1frings allele (monogenic, audiogenic seizure susceptibility 1) and are susceptible to audiogenic seizures prior to 25 days of age (Skradski, et al 2001). In addition, the Mass1frings allele acounts for early onset hearing impairment by 3-4 weeks of age (Johnson KR, et al 2005).
Strain Development
The BUB/BnJ inbred strain originated from randomly bred albino mice of unknown ancestry. Inbreeding was begun in 1945 by JW Wilson at Brown University. This strain was transferred to S Bernstein at The Jackson Laboratory at F46 and then to the production facility in 1968 at generation F68. Current generation of inbreeding is F166+.

| Molecular Note | Genetic complementation tests have shown allelism between the mdfw (modifier of deaf waddler) locus and the ahl locus. Further analysis has identified an association between ahl and a G to A transition at nucleotide position 753 of Cdh23. This hypomorphic allele causes in frame skipping of exon 7 and reduced message stability. Twenty-seven strains classified with ahl and carrying the 753A allele include: CD1, RBF/DnJ, PL/J, AKR/J, RF/J, BALB/cBy, A/WySnJ, P/J, SENCARA/PtJ, DBA/1J, ALS/LtJ, C58/J, C57BLKS/J, 129P1/ReJ, C57BR/cd, SKH2/J, BUB/Bn, MA/MyJ, LP/J, 129X1/SvJ, NOR/LtJ, A/J, C57BL/6, NOD/LyJ, DBA/2J, ALR/LtJ, C57L/J.

| General Note |
Pde6brd1, retinal degeneration 1, recessive. Formerly r, rd, rd1. A mutation causing retinal degeneration described by Bruckner (J:25576) and by Tansley (J:15333) in various stocks was later found to be present in many inbred strains (J:114). Keeler (J:5007) thought it to be identical with the rodless retina mutation he had described in 1924 (J:24999); the identity has recently been proven by analyses of DNA from Keeler's original slides (J:15231). Homozygotes are fully viable and fertile.Eyes develop normally up to 7 to 10 days after birth. At this stage the outer segment of the rod cell has begun to form, and in wild type mice it elongates rapidly during the 10th to 15th days. In Pde6brd1/Pde6brd1 mice the nascent outer segments and the rod cells degenerate rapidly so that by 15 days there is only a thin layer of rod cells left, and they have disappeared completely by 35 days (J:5250, J:5708). The inner nuclear layer and the retinal ganglion cells appear normal butmay show slight quantitative reduction (J:5812, J:5292). Although the eyes of Pde6brd1 homozygotes are devoid of normal rods, the mice have some visual capacity (J:5980). About 3% of cones among the visual cells degenerate at a much slower rate than do rods, so that a few cones are still present at 18 months (J:5988). The surviving cones are postulated (J:25157) as the light receptors required for the persistence of circadian responses to dawn and dusk in Pde6brd1 homozygotes past the sstage when rods have disappeared (J:29236). In fusion chimeras between wild type and Pde6brd1 homozygous embryos, the Pde6brd1 mutant acts in the photoreceptor cells rather than in the pigment epithelium of the retina (J:5708). Action within photoreceptor cells is also implied by the long term survival of wild type rod cells transplanted into Pde6brd1 homozygote retinas (J:20769). At a stage before degeneration can be seen, a deficiency of cGMP-PDE, andan excess of cGMP, appears in rod photoreceptor cells (J:5332). The rate of retinal degeneration in mutants doubly homozygous for two retinal degeneration mutations (Pde6brd1 and RdsRd2) is intermediate between those of the two homozygotes (J:12044). The double homozygote shows an intermediate level of mRNAs for the ß subunit of cGMP-PDE and for several other phototransduction related proteins, suggesting an interaction between Pde6brd1 and RdsRd2 (J:2579). Genbank ID for mutant sequence: M75166 | ||
| Molecular Note | Two mutations have been identified in rd1 mice. A murine leukimia virus (Xmv-28) insertion in reverse orientation in intron 1 is found in all mouse strains with the rd1 phenotype. Further, a nonsense mutation (C to A transversion) in codon 347 that results in a truncation eliminating more than half of the predicted encoded protein, including the catalytic domain has also been identified in all rd1 strains of mice. A specific degradation of mutant transcript during or after pre-mRNA splicing is suggested. [MGI Ref ID J:11513] [MGI Ref ID J:4366] [MGI Ref ID J:51361] | ||

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.Ordering and Purchasing Information
