Generation DefinitionsDonating Investigator IMR Colony, The Jackson Laboratory Description
Mice homozygous for the transgene exhibit robust and widespread expression of monomeric red fluorescent protein-1 (mRFP1) in embryonic stem cells, embryos, and adults. Unlike tetrameric or dimeric fluorescent proteins, high levels of mRFP1 expression do not affect cell morphology, developmental potential, viability, and fertility of homozygous mice. Various optical imaging modalities can be used to visualize mRFP1 expressing cells in culture, in embryos and adult mice. Cells from transgenic mRFP1 mice, sampled along with green and cyan fluorescent cells from other mice, show clearly discernable fluorescence. This mouse may be useful in studies of mRFP1 cell lines, transplantation, embryo chimera experiments, and fluorescent imaging and technology development.In an attempt to offer alleles on well-characterized or multiple genetic backgrounds, alleles are frequently moved to a genetic background different from that on which an allele was first characterized. It should be noted that the phenotype could vary from that originally described. We will modify the strain description if necessary as published results become available.
Development
The first true monomeric red fluorescent protein (mRFP1) is the result of the stepwise directed evolution of DsRed; introducing 33 amino acid substitutions selecting for improved performance and developmental neutrality. The mRFP1 coding sequence was placed under control of the chicken beta actin promoter and CMV immediate early enhancer combination, designed to drive high-level constitutive gene expression in ES cells, embryos and adult mice. The construct (CAG-mRFP1) was injected into (129X1/SvJ x 129S1/Sv)F1-derived R1 embryonic stem (ES) cells. Correctly targeted ES cells were injected into C57BL/6 blastocysts and the resulting chimeras were bred to ICR. Founder line 1F1 was obtained and bred to ICR mice for five generations before arrival at The Jackson Laboratory. Upon arrival, this mouse was backcrossed to C57BL/6J mice for at least 5 generations.

| Expressed Gene | RFP, Red Fluorescent Protein, coral | ||
| Red Fluorescent Protein (RFP), derived from marine invertebrate organisms such as the soft coral Discosoma spp and reef coral, Heteractis crispa, is a versatile reporter molecule which has found use in many biological applications. The wild type protein, which is an obligate tetramer, is not well tolerated in mammalian systems. The original molecule has been modified in order to optimize expression to mammalian physiology (examples include monomeric RFP, mRFP1, DsRed, etc). | |||
