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]
 
Allele Symbol Rmcfr
Allele Name MCF resistant
Allele Type Spontaneous
Strain of Originmultiple strains
Gene Symbol and Name Rmcf, resistance to MCF virus
Chromosome 5
General Note

This locus controls resistance and susceptibility of cells in tissue culture to infection by mink cell focus-forming murine leukemia viruses. The allele Rmcfr determines resistance and occurs in strains DBA/1, DBA/2, and CBA/Ca; the allele Rmcfs determines susceptibility and occurs in strains AKR/J, C57BL/6, BALB/c, CBA/J, NFS, NZB, 129/J, and many others. Heterozygotes are as resistant as the resistant parent or nearly so. Rmcf is different from and independent of Fv1,a locus that controls susceptibility to infection by ecotropic viruses. Rmcf is located on Chr 5 close to Hm near the centromeric end (J:7108). Rmcfr protects (AKR x CBA/Ca)F1 and (AKR x DBA/2)F1 hybrids from development of spontaneous thymic lymphomas and reduces the incidence of MCF-induced thymic lymphomas (J:7175). It also reduces susceptibility of cells of Sxvs/Sxvr mice to exogenous xenotropic viruses (J:7951). In addition, in strains susceptible to Friend virus-induced erythroleukemia, a condition thought to be due to the replication of MCF virus, Rmcfr increases resistance to the virus-induced erythroleukemia. It may cause resistance by coding for or regulating the production of an MCF-related envelope glycoprotein that blocks the receptor for MCF viruses (J:8074). This conclusion is reinforced by the findings of Buller et al. (J:8497), who showed that the Rmcfr allele contains an endogenous MCF gp70 env gene and that theRmcfs allele, at least in some strains (C57BL/6, CBA/J, and A/WySn), contains a xenotropic gp70 env gene. Presumably the MCF gp70 inhibits exogenous MCF infection in vitro by a mechanism of viral interference.

Molecular Note This locus controls resistance of cells to infection by mink cell focus-forming murine leukemia viruses. The dominant r (resistance) allele is found in strains DBA/1, DBA/2 and CBA/Ca.
 
Allele Symbol Tyrc
Allele Name albino
Allele Type Spontaneous
Common Name(s) c;
Strain of Originold mutant of the mouse fancy
Gene Symbol and Name Tyr, tyrosinase
Chromosome 7
Gene Common Name(s) C; OCA1A; OCAIA; SHEP3; albino; c; skc35; skin/coat color 35;
General Note Tyrc, albino. This very old mutant was already known in Greek and Roman times. Hair and eyes are completely devoid of pigment (J:5436, J:5001, J:30725). The albino mutation affects the amount of tyrosinase, and thus of melanin, in pigment cells, but does not interfere with the production of pigment cells themselves (J:12173, J:13092). Melanocytes with melanosomes showing normal fine structure occur in the retina and hair follicles. Pigment granules are smaller and fewer than normal and completely lack melanin (J:5346, J:5001, J:30725). Tyrosinase is almost absent (J:12173).Although Tyr is the structural gene for tyrosinase, some albino mutations may affect tyrosinase enzyme regulation rather than structure (J:6611), suggesting that these mutations affect tyrosinase inhibition (J:5346), presumably via control regions of the gene. All the mutant alleles are recessive to wild-type in phenotype, but heterozygotes with wild-type produce intermediate amounts of tyrosinase (J:12173).Albino-locus mutants with lightly pigmented eyes have a reduced number of fibers of the optic nerve going to the ipsilateral lateral geniculate nucleus of the brain. This is probably a secondary effect of reduced tyrosinase activity or amount of pigment in the pigmentepithelium, since genes at other loci that reduce eye pigmentation also cause the same anomaly (J:5436, J:6064).Abnormal retinal pathways disrupted at the optic chiasm that occur in albinism can be corrected with a Tyr normal transgene (J:22320).Lipofuscin is a terminal oxidation product pigment that accumulates with age. In a cross of C57BL/6J and BALB/cJ, which differ in cardiac deposition of the pigment, this trait segregated with albinism, and is controlled by the Tyr locus (J:15460).Tyrc homozygotes do not perform as well as normal in a number of behavioral tests. It is likely that this effect is mediated, at least in part, by defective vision resulting from lack of retinal pigment (J:5470, J:5360, J:5378).
Molecular Note The specific mutation in the albino allele is a G to C transversion causing an amino acid change from cysteine to serine. This mutation introduces a DdeI enzyme restriction site. [MGI Ref ID J:10889] [MGI Ref ID J:40223]

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.
