Type Mutant Stock; Targeted Mutation;

Specieslaboratory mouse
Generation?+N1F2 (20-MAY-08)
 
Donating Investigator Yang Xu,   University of California, San Diego

Description
Mice homozygous for this targeted mutation are viable and fertile. They carry two phosphorylation site disruptions: Ser18 to Ala (S18A), and Ser23 to Ala (S23A). Trp53-dependent apoptosis is essentially abolished in thymocytes. These mice develop spontaneous tumors at approximately 1.5 years of age and a range of malignancies that are distinct from those found in animals carrying either a single S23A mutation or a complete knockout of the gene. This mutant mouse strain may be useful in studies of phosphorylation events in cancer development and apoptosis.

Development
Missense mutations resulting in serine (Ser) to alanine (Ala) amino acid substitutions at codons 18 and 23 in exon 2 were engineered using site-directed mutagenesis. A targeting vector containing the Ser18/23Ala mutations and a loxP-flanked (floxed) PGK-Neo resistance cassette inserted into intron 4 was injected into 129S6/SvEvTac-derived TC-1 embryonic stem (ES) cells. F1 mutant heterozygous mice were bred to CMV-Cre transgenic mice on a C57BL/6 X 129 mixed genetic background to excise the floxed PGK-Neo cassette. Homozyotes were created by intercrossing heterozygotes.

Mammalian Phenotype Terms assigned by genotype

The following phenotype information may relate to a genetic background differing from this JAX® Mice strain.

Trp53tm2Xu/Trp53tm2Xu

        involves: 129S6/SvEvTac
  • tumorigenesis
  • altered tumor susceptibility/resistance (MGI Ref ID J:109354)
    • mice are cancer prone but develop tumors in a wide spectrum of tissues, with a delayed onset compared with Trp53-null mice which develop thymic lymphomas primarily within 6 months of age
    • abnormal tumor incidence (MGI Ref ID J:109354)
      • mice develop leukemias, fibrosarcomas, granuloma and adenomas; these are rarely seen in Trp53tm1Tj homozygous mice
  • hematopoietic system phenotype
  • decreased T cell apoptosis (MGI Ref ID J:109354)
    • thymocytes are essentially resistant to Trp53-mediated apoptosis
  • decreased T cell proliferation (MGI Ref ID J:109354)
    • proliferation of thymocytes after stimulation with PMA or Ionomycin is slower than Trp53tm1Tyj cells at the later time point, but similar to wild-type at the earlier time point
  • immune system phenotype
  • decreased T cell apoptosis (MGI Ref ID J:109354)
    • thymocytes are essentially resistant to Trp53-mediated apoptosis
  • decreased T cell proliferation (MGI Ref ID J:109354)
    • proliferation of thymocytes after stimulation with PMA or Ionomycin is slower than Trp53tm1Tyj cells at the later time point, but similar to wild-type at the earlier time point

Genes & Alleles

Gene & Allele Information

Allele Symbol Trp53tm2Xu
Allele Name targeted mutation 2, Yang Xu
Common Name(s) p53S18/23A;
Mutation Made By Yang Xu,   University of California, San Diego
Strain of Origin129S6/SvEvTac
ES Cell Line NameTC-1
ES Cell Line Strain129S6/SvEvTac
Gene Symbol and Name Trp53, transformation related protein 53
Chromosome 11
Gene Common Name(s) FLJ92943; LFS1; p53;
Molecular Note Site directed mutagenesis within exon 2 generated missense mutations at codons 18 and 23, resulting in the substitutions of both serines with alanines. A single loxP site remained in intron 4 after a floxed PGK-neo cassette was excised via cre-mediated recombination. Sequencing verified that only the S18/23A mutations were present in mutant mice.

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.
