Mating System Homozygote x Homozygote (Female x Male) 01-OCT-09 Species laboratory mouse Generation N10F1 (12-NOV-09) Donating Investigator Rudolf Jaenisch, Whitehead Institute (MIT) Description
Homozygotes are viable, fertile, normal in size and do not display any behavioral abnormalities. These targeted mutant mice have widespread expression of an optimized form of reverse tetracycline-controlled transactivator (rtTA-M2) protein. This R26-M2rtTA strain may be useful for doxycycline-inducible studies which utilize rtTA/tet-O (tet-on/TRE) models.Development
Embryonic stem (ES) cells from the (C57BL/6 x 129S4Sv/Jae)F1-derived V6.5 ES cell line were used to for targeted insertion of an optimized form of reverse tetracycline controlled transactivator (rtTA-M2) downstream of the Gt(ROSA)26Sor promoter. In addition, the 3' UTR region of the Col1a1 locus was modified for Frt-mediated targeting. Correctly targeted ES cells were then injected with a "flip-in plasmid" containing a tetracycline responsive element (TRE or tetO) and mouse Oct4 (Pou5f1) cDNA sequence (and Flpe-recombinase plasmid to facilitate tetO-Oct4 integration into the 3' UTR region of Col1a1). The resulting ES cells were injected into B6D2F1 tetraploid blastocysts. Chimeric mice were bred together for many generations prior to arrival at The Jackson Laboratory (as Stock No. Stock No. 006911). Upon arrival, a subset of mice were backcrossed to C57BL/6J; selecting mice with the mutant Gt(ROSA)26Sor allele (and against the other mutant locus) for at least 5 generations to generate this congenic strain (Stock No. 006965).

| Site of Expression | Expresses an optimized rtTA protein (rtTA-M2). Inducible target gene expression is detected in liver, bone marrow, stomach, intestine, and skin, with lower levels in the heart, lungs, kidney, spleen, and thymus; no expression is detected in the brain and testes. | ||
| Expressed Gene | rtTA, reverse tetracycline-controlled transactivator, E. coli | ||
| The tetracycline repressor gene (Tetr), arose from chemically mutated Escherichia coli genome which was screened for tetracycline dependence (Gossen and Bujard, 1992). One mutant with a four amino acid residue change (rTetR) exhibited dependence on tetracycline for induction of the targeted gene and was used in the rtTA construct (Gossen et al, 1995). rTetr was fused at the C-terminus with the viral co-activator, virion protein 16 of the herpes simplex virus (VP-16). | |||

| General Note |
This mutation is always used in combination with the Col1a1 | ||
| Molecular Note | An optimized form of reverse tetracycline controlled transactivator (rtTA-M2) was inserted downstream of the Gt(ROSA)26Sor promoter. This mutant form of rtTA termed M2 has five amino acid substitutions in the tetR moiety of tTA: S12G, E19G, A56P, D148E and H179R. This mutated form of transactivatory protein has increased doxycycline sensitivity. Mice have widespread expression of the rtTA-M2 protein. Doxycycline treatment induces expression of Pou5f1 from the Col1a1 locus under the control of a tetracycline-responsive element in these mice. [MGI Ref ID J:98920] | ||

| Standard Supply | Repository-Live. A collection of over 1000 strains maintained as live colonies. Individual colonies are sized to meet current customer demand. Delivery for orders of 10 mice or less ranges on average from one to eight weeks; mice are generally shipped between four to six weeks of age with a maximum shipping age of approximately nine weeks. Colony sizes do not generally support stringent age specifications for large volumes of mice; however custom orders and larger quantities of mice are easily arranged. Estimated ship dates for all orders provided within two business days following order placement. |
