Description
Mice that are homozygous for the targeted mutation are viable, normal in size and do not display any gross physical or behavioral abnormalities. The targeted mutation results in a total ablation of the SREBP-1c transcript and only a slight redution in levels of the alternate SREBP-1a transcript. There is a 50% increase in level of SREBP-2 transcript and increases in transcripts of enzymes utilized in cholesterol biosynthesis. Liver cholesterol content is increased while plasma cholesterol and plasma triglycerides levels are reduced. There is a reduction of expression of all genes required for fatty acid and triglyceride synthesis. Administration of liver X receptor (LXR) agonist did not result in increased levels of SREBP-1a transcript or in liver triglycerides. This mutant mouse strain represents a model that may be useful in studies of transcriptional control of fatty acid and triglyceride biosynthesis.

Development
A targeting vector containing two copies of the herpes simplex virus thymidine kinase gene, a modified bacterial lacZ gene with a nuclear localization signal and the ACN cassette was used to disrupt the first exon and a portion of the promoter for the SREBP-1c isoform. The ACN cassette, containing the neomycin resistance gene and Cre recombinase gene under the control of angiotensin-converting enzyme promoter, is flanked by loxP sites. Cre-mediated recombination during spermatogenesis removed the cassette leaving one loxP site and resulted in lacZ gene expression controlled by the endogenous SREBP-1c promoter. The construct was electroporated into 129S6/SvEv derived SM-1 embryonic stem (ES) cells. Correctly targeted ES cells were injected into C57BL/6 blastocysts. The resulting chimeric animals were backcrossed to B6;129S6 mice.

Mutation Made By Jay Horton,   Univ of Texas SW Med Center at Dallas
Strain of Origin129S6/SvEvTac
ES Cell Line NameSM1
ES Cell Line Strain129S6/SvEvTac
Site of ExpressionLiver
Gene Symbol and Name Srebf1, sterol regulatory element binding transcription factor 1
Chromosome 11
Gene Common Name(s) ADD-1; SREBP-1; SREBP-1a; SREBP-1c; SREBP1; SREBP1c; bHLHd1;
Molecular Note An in-frame lacZ gene with a nuclear localization signal was inserted into exon 1c of the gene. A loxP flanked neomycin resistance and Angiotensin-cre cassette (ACN) was inserted following the lacZ gene. The neomycin/cre cassette was autocatalytically removed in the male germline by activation of the Ace promoter in testis. RNase protection assays on liver RNA from homozygous mice demonstrated that the 1c isoform transcript was not detectable, while expression of the 1a isoform was unaffected. Western blot analysis confirmed that the expression of the encoded protein was greatly reduced from this allele; in addition, beta-galactosidase expression was detected from this allele in frozen liver sections.

The Jackson Laboratory does not guarantee successful recovery at your facility. For complete information on purchasing embryos from our repository, please visit our Cryopreserved Embryos web page.
  • Cryorecovery - Standard.
    The recovery process begins when a signed agreement form is returned to the Customer Service Department after order placement. Although results vary by strain, at least two males and two females (two pairs) will be provided, typically within 15 weeks of our receipt of the signed agreement form. If the first recovery attempt is unsuccessful or only one pair is recovered, a second recovery will be done, extending the delivery time to approximately 25 weeks. At least one member of each pair will be of known genotype and will carry the mutation if it is a mutant strain. Please note that pairs may not reflect the mating scheme utilized by The Jackson Laboratory prior to cryopreservation of the strain. Mating schemes are sometimes modified for successful cryopreservation. Price represents a repository maintenance fee, which includes the cost of recovery of the strain from the cryopreservation resource and the periodic replacement of the frozen embryos used for recovery.

    Cryorecovery to establish a Dedicated Supply for greater quantities of mice.
    One to two pairs will be recovered to establish a Dedicated Supply of mice. Price by quotation. For more information on Dedicated Supply, please contact JAX® Services, Tel: 1-800-422-6423 or 1-207-288-5845.

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.
