| Mouse strains created by the Pleiades Promoter Project (Dr. Elizabeth M. Simpson, Centre for Molecular Medicine and Therapeutics, University of British Columbia, Canada) are now available through the Mutant Mouse Regional Resource Center (MMRRC) at The Jackson Laboratory. For the Ple112-EGFP mice, please see MMRRC #032933 at the MMRRC website. | |||||||||||||||||||
| These mice have the Ple112-EGFP transgene targeted as a single copy "knockin" into the upstream region of the Hprt locus on the X chromosome. The promoter/regulatory regions of the human HCRT gene direct expression of EGFP. | |||||||||||||||||||

| Site of Expression | EGFP is expressed in the hypothalamus. | ||
| Expressed Gene | GFP, Green Fluorescent Protein, jellyfish | ||
| Green Fluorescent Protein (GFP), derived from the jellyfish Aequorea victoria, is a versatile reporter molecule which has found use in many biological applications. In some constructs the original molecule has been modified in order to enhance its fluorescence intensity (EGFP, enhanced GFP). When utilized in a transgenic construct, tissue expressing sufficient amounts of GFP will fluoresce when exposed to a 488 nm light source. | |||

| General Note | Germ line transmission of mutant cell line mEMS1736 has been established. | ||
| Molecular Note |
The Ple112-EGFP transgene (pEMS1418) was designed with the 1295 bp Ple112 minipromoter (HCRT-B; derived from a subsection of the promoter and an upstream putative regulatory element from the human hypocretin (orexin) neuropeptide precursor (HCRT) gene) upstream of a minimal F5 mutant-frt site, an enhanced green fluorescent protein (with mutated TAA->TTA stop), a nuclear localization signal, a second minimal frt site, an SV40 early polyA signal, and a human HPRT complementary sequence (containing exon1, intron1, exon2, and part of intron2). This construct was targeted as a single copy knockin to the Hprtb-m3 mutant locus on the X chromosome. The promoter/regulatory regions of the human hypocretin (HCRT) gene directs expression of enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) to the hypothalamus. Under the higher magnification, EGFP immunoreactivity can be detected in the cell bodies and processes of hypothalamic neurons. Other (lateral) regions of brain did not display any EGFP-positive cells. [MGI Ref ID J:144244] [MGI Ref ID J:164356] | ||
