Strain Description
Homozygotes for the Smad1tm2Sor (also called Smad1L) allele are viable and fertile, normal in size and do not display any gross physical or behavioral abnormalities. These mice carry a mutation in exon 3, which effects MAPK-mediated phosphorylation of the protein. Western blot analysis of MEFs from homozygotes showed that similar protein levels compared to wildtype. Homozygous embryos have fewer primordial germ cells than wildtype controls. Homozygous mice display abnormal gastric mucosa cell population ratios with fewer zymogenic cells and more parietal cells. The cytoskeleton of MEFs from homozygotes exhibit a loss of adhesion zippers, decreased stress fibers, and an accumulation of actin in the cortical regions with an increase in beta-catenin immunostaining localized to the cell membranes. This mutant mouse strain may be useful in studies of stomach development, gastic mucosal homeostasis and BMP and MAPK signaling pathways during development and in the adult.

Strain Development
A targeting vector containing a floxed PGKneo cassette and a diptheria toxin cassette was used to introduce serine-to-alanine substitutions in the MAPK-consensus phosphorylation sites (S187A, S195A, S206A, S214A) and two conserved phosphoserines in exon 3 (S209 and S210). The construct was electroporated into 129S4/SvJaeSor-derived AK7 embryonic stem (ES) cells. Correctly targeted ES cells were injected into recipient blastocysts. The mice were crossed to a strain expressing Cre under the control of the Meox2 promoter to remove the floxed PGKneo cassette. The mice were then crossed to mice carrying the Smad1tm1Sor mutant allele prior to arriving at The Jackson Laboratory. Upon arrival, mice were bred to C57BL/6J to separate the mutant alleles. These mice carry only the Smad1tm2Sor (also called Smad1L) mutant allele.

Supply Details

Standard SupplyRepository-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 ~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 48 hours of order placement.
Supply Notes Usually shipped between four and eight weeks of age.

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.
