Species laboratory mouse Generation N34+F0pN1 Donating Investigator Bruce Lamb, The Cleveland Clinic Foundation Description
Mice hemizygous for this "H163R mutant PSEN1 YAC" transgene are viable and fertile, while the donating investigator reports that homozygous mice are non-viable. Semi-quantitative RT-PCR of multiple tissues shows expression of H163R mutant human PSEN1 at levels comparable to that of wildtype mouse PSEN1 (50–70%). In contrast to other PSEN1 transgenic models, tissues from this strain express alternatively spliced human PSEN1 transcripts encoding PSEN1 protein (with or without the tetrapeptide VRSQ) and accumulated an 18-kDa PSEN1 C-terminal fragment as shown by western blots, thus expressing a wide spectrum of different human PSEN1 mRNAs and proteins. When crossed to other FAD transgenic strains (for example Stock No. 005300), this transgene is associated with elevated levels of the 42 amino acid form of amyloid-beta (1–42) in both brain and plasma. These mice may be useful in studying neurological disorders such as Familial Alzheimer’s Disease and Down syndrome.Development
A 1000 kb YAC transgene (788H12) containing the entire human presenilin-1 (PSEN or PS-1) gene was altered to include the H163R PSEN1 Familial Alzheimer's Disease (FAD) mutation. The transgene also included approximately 550 kb of upstream and 350 kb of downstream flanking sequences. This construct was injected into 129S4/SvJae-derived J1 embryonic stem (ES) cells. Founder animals (line G9) were backcrossed to C57BL/6 for at least 33 generations.

| Molecular Note | A 1000 kb YAC transgene (788H12) containing the entire human presenilin-1 gene was altered to include the Familial Alzheimer's Disease- (FAD-) associated histidine-to-arginine substitution at amino acid position 163 (H163R). The transgene also includes approximately 550 kb of upstream and 350 kb of downstream flanking DNA. Semi-quantitative RT-PCR of multiple tissues shows expression of H163R mutant human mRNA at 50-70% of the level of wild-type mouse transcripts. Transgenic tissues express a wide spectrum of human presenilin-1 mRNA and protein species; alternatively spliced human mRNAs encoding presenilin 1, with or without the tetrapeptide VRSQ, are detected, and western blot analysis reveals accumulation of an 18-kDa C-terminal peptide.
