Type Mutant Stock; Targeted Mutation; Mating System Homozygote x Homozygote (Female x Male) Species laboratory 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

| 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.
