Visit our online Nomenclature tutorial. Mating System Homozygote x Homozygote (Female x Male) 20-OCT-11 Species laboratory mouse Generation N5+
Generation DefinitionsDonating Investigator Sean J Morrison, UT Southwestern Description
These Prkaa2 mutant mice possess loxP sites flanking exon 2 of the protein kinase, AMP-activated, alpha 2 catalytic subunit (Prkaa2) gene. Mice that are homozygous for this allele are viable, fertile, normal in size and do not display any gross physical or behavioral abnormalities. Prkaa2 belongs to the serine/threonine protein kinase family and is the catalytic subunit of the 5'-prime-AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK). AMPK is a sensor of the energy status of cells and ensures survival during stress. When bred to mice that express tissue-specific Cre recombinase, resulting offspring will have exon 2 deleted in the cre-expressing tissues. When bred to transgenic mice expressing Cre recombinase driven by myxovirus (influenza virus) resistance 1 (Mx1) promoter/enhanced elements, PRKAA2 expression is abolished in hematopoietic cells. This strain may be useful for studying cell growth and energy expenditure, as well as bladder cancer.Development
A targeting vector was designed to insert a loxP site upstream of exon 2, and a Frt-flanked neomycin resistance cassette (neo) followed by a second loxP site downstream of exon 2 of the protein kinase, AMP-activated, alpha 2 catalytic subunit (Prkaa2) gene. The construct was electroporated into Bruce4-derived C57BL/6 embryonic stem (ES) cells. Correctly targeted ES cells were injected into blastocysts from B6(Cg)-Tyrc-2J/J mice (Stock No. 000058) and the resulting chimeric males were bred to female B6(Cg)-Tyrc-2J/J mice to establish a colony. These mice were then bred to mice carrying Tg(ACTFLPe)9205Dym to delete the neo cassette. Offspring were then backcrossed to C57BL/6 for at least 4 generations. Upon arrival, mice were bred to C57BL/6J inbred mice (Stock No. 000664) for at least one generation to establish the colony.
