This strain carries a FRT-STOP-FRT cassette in intron 1 of an oncogenic allele of the v-Ki-ras2 Kirsten rat sarcoma viral oncogene homolog gene (G12D mutation). Prior to expression of enhanced Flp (FLPe) or mouse codon-optimized FLP (FLPo) recombinase the allele is not expressed due to the transcriptional STOP cassette. Following introduction of the recombinase, the FRT sites are recombined and the STOP cassette is removed, thus allowing for expression of an oncogenic K-ras transcript and protein. When recombined in various tissues, the phenotype is anticipated to be the same as that seen with tissue-specific Cre-mediated recombination in the K-ras LSL strain (see Stock No. 008180). Hyperplasias or overt tumors form in a variety of tissues tested, such as lung, pancreas, and colon.Development
A Frt-STOP-Frt (FSF) cassette was inserted into the Sal I site in intron 1 of the targeted gene, which also carries a G->D point mutation in codon 12. A puromycin resistance gene is flanked by FRT sites, 5' of the STOP element, and reads in the opposite orientation to that of the targeted locus. The mutation was created using C57BL/6-derived v26.2 embryonic stem (ES) cells. Subsequent crosses with other strains (major alleles now bred away) has placed this mutation on a mixed background composed of C57BL/6 and 129.

| Molecular Note | This allele has a FRT-STOP-FRT cassette in intron 1 of the oncogenic form of the v-Ki-ras2 Kirsten rat sarcoma viral oncogene homolog gene (G12D mutation). Before expression of enhanced Flp (FLPe) or mouse codon-optimized FLP (FLPo) recombinase, the allele is not expressed due to the transcriptional STOP cassette. Following introduction of the recombinase, the FRT sites are recombined and the STOP cassette is removed resulting in expression of the mutant Kras transcript and protein. [MGI Ref ID J:140469] | ||
