Mating System Homozygote x Homozygote (Female x Male) 03-DEC-08 Species laboratory mouse Generation F?+N1F3 (18-AUG-09) Donating Investigator Klaus Rajewsky, Immune Disease Institute (formerly CBRI) Description
Mice homozygous for the R26StopFLikk2ca conditional allele are viable and fertile, with a loxP-flanked STOP cassette preventing transcription of the downstream bicistronic sequences (a FLAG-tagged, constitutively active form of IKbkb (IKK2ca) and EGFP). When bred to mice that express Cre recombinase, the resulting offspring will have the STOP cassette deleted in the cre-expressing tissue(s); resulting in expression of the IKK2ca as well as EGFP fluorescence. Expression of IKK2ca leads to constitutively active NF-kappaB transcription factor activity. These R26StopFLikk2ca mice allow inducible expression of an activated form of Ikbkb (IKK2 or IKK-beta) and subsequent activation of the NF-kappaB transcription factor pathways.For example, when bred to a strain with a Cd19 null allele and expressing Cre recombinase during the B lymphocyte development (Stock No. 006785), this mutant mouse strain may be useful in studies of the NF-kappaB pathway.
Development
A targeting vector was designed with (from 5' to 3') a loxP-flanked neomycin resistance-STOP cassette, a cDNA encoding a FLAG-tagged, constitutively active form of murine IKbkb (IKK2ca; containing two serine to glutamate substitutions (S177E, S181E) in the activation loop of the kinase domain), a frt-flanked internal ribosomal entry site and enhanced green fluorescent protein (IRES-EGFP), and a bovine polyA sequence. This construct was placed under control of the promoter of the targeted gene via electroporation into C57BL/6-derived Bruce-4 embryonic stem (ES) cells. Correctly targeted ES cells were selected and chimeric animals were bred to C57BL/6 mice to generate mutant mice. These R26StopFLikk2ca mice were maintained as a homozygous colony for many generations prior to arrival at The Jackson Laboratory.

| Molecular Note | An IRES-eGFP cassette and a cDNA sequence encoding Ikbkb containing two serine to glutamate substitutions in the activation loop of the kinase domain, preceded by a floxed stop-neo cassette was inserted into the locus. The Ikbkb would be expressed under the control of the endogenous ROSA26 promoter after cre-mediated excision of the STOP cassette. [MGI Ref ID J:113365] | ||
