Description
Mice homozygous for the Gusmps-2J allele exhibit a phenotype similar to Gusmps homozygotes including skeletal deformities, lysosomal storage disease and elevated levels of the lysosomal enzymes alpha-galactosidase and beta-hexosaminidase (Gwynn et al., 1998). Like the Gusmps heterozygote, Gusmps-2J heterozygotes have a 26-85% reduction in beta-glucuronidase activity. depending on tissue type (Gwynn et al., 1998, Birkenmeier et al., 1989). Homozygotes of both alleles have beta-glucuronidase activity levels at 1% of the control level. Unlike the Gusmps homozygote, Gusmps-2J homozygotes live longer, are fertile and can raise litters to weaning age (Gwynn et al., 1998). In addition to a difference in the nature of the mutations between these two alleles, it is also likely that the phenotypic differences are the result of strain background. C3H/HeOuJ mice carry a different set of alleles at the Gus complex than C57BL/6J mice. Beta-glucuronidase activity in C3H/HeOuJ mice is 10-38% that of C57BL/6J mice (Gwynn et al., 1998). The Gus complex alleles determine the rate of enzyme synthesis and may modulate the expression of the beta-glucuronidase deficiency. This strain is a model for the human lysomal storage disease, mucopolysaccharidosis type VII.

Development
The Gusmps-2J mutation arose spontaneously in the C3H/HeOuJ (Stock No. 000635) production colony at The Jackson Laboratory (Gwynn et al., 1998). The founder male was identified by a blunter face and shorter, thickened limbs and tail. This strain was maintained by sibling inbreeding and in 2007 sperm were cryopreserved from homozygous males at generation F46.

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.
