These transgenic mice express the reverse tetracycline-controlled transactivator (rtTA) protein under the control of the human keratin 14 (KRT14) gene promoter (active in embryonic and postnatal basal cells of the skin). When mated to a second transgenic strain carrying a gene of interest under the regulatory control of a tetracycline-responsive promoter element (tetO), expression of the target gene may be regulated by the tetracycline analog, doxycycline (dox); in the presence of dox, transcription of the target gene is induced in cells where rtTA is expressed. This strain provides a Tet-On tool that allows the inducible expression of genes in cells expressing KRT14 for hair and skin research.

Description
Mice that are hemizygous or homozygous for this transgenic insert are viable, fertile, normal in size, and do not display any gross physical or behavioral abnormalities. These transgenic mice express the reverse tetracycline-controlled transactivator (rtTA) protein under the control of the human keratin 14 (KRT14) gene promoter (active in embryonic and postnatal basal cells of the skin). When mated to a second transgenic strain carrying a gene of interest under the regulatory control of a tetracycline-responsive promoter element (tetO), expression of the target gene may be regulated by the tetracycline analog, doxycycline (dox); in the presence of dox, transcription of the target gene is induced in cells where rtTA is expressed. This strain provides a Tet-On tool that allows the inducible expression of genes in cells expressing KRT14 for hair and skin research.

Development
A transgenic vector incorporating the human keratin 14 promoter/enhancer, rabbit beta globin 5' untranslated region (UTR) for stabilization of transcript, the reverse tetracycline regulatable transactivator protein (rtTA2S-M2-VP16), and the keratin 14 3' UTR was injected into FVB embryos. This strain has been maintained on an FVB background by the donating laboratory.

Allele Symbol Tg(KRT14-rtTA)F42Efu
Allele Name transgene insertion F42, Elaine Fuchs
Allele Type Transgenic (random, expressed)
Common Name(s) K14rtTA;
Mutation Made By Elaine Fuchs,   The Rockefeller University
Strain of OriginFVB
Site of Expressionembryonic and postnatal basal cells of the skin
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).
Promoter KRT14, keratin 14, human
Molecular Note A transgenic vector incorporating the human keratin 14 promoter/enhancer, rabbit beta globin 5' untranslated region (UTR) for stabilization of transcript, the reverse tetracycline regulatable transactivator protein (rtTA2S-M2-VP16), and the keratin 14 3'UTR was injected into FVB embryos.

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 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.

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.
