Generation DefinitionsDonating Investigator Robert Tukey, University of California San Diego Description
Transgenic UGT1A1*28 mice carry the entire human uridine diphosphate (UDP) glucuronosyltransferase 1 (UGT1) locus, and includes a mutant form of the human UGT1 polypeptide A1 (UGT1A1) promoter. Hemizygous mice are viable, fertile, and normal in size. The UGT1 locus encodes a family of genes, including UGT1A1-UGT1A10. UGT1 contains a series of divergent exon 1 sequences, each encoding the substrate binding site of a different UGT1A protein, and exons 2-5 which encode the highly conserved carboxyl terminal. Each exon 1 is regulated by its own promoter/enhancer sequences. The UGT1A1*28 mutation is associated with hepatic dysfunction and increased bilirubin found in Gilbert's syndrome. UGTs detoxify small lipophilic molecules and transform them into hydrophilic glucuronides, facilitating excretion. UGT1A1*28 transgenic mice express human UGT1A genes in patterns similar to the human tissues, mainly in tissues such as liver, kidney, and gastrointestinal tract. These mice may be useful for studying the regulatory and functional properties of glucuronidation, and may also serve as a model for pharmacological studies associated with Gilbert's syndrome.Development
A transgene derived from a human bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) library, containing the entire human UGT1 (UDP glucuronosyltransferase 1) complex, was modified by targeted mutation of the UGT1 polypeptide A1, UGT1A1, promoter to harbor the UGT1A1*28 mutation associated with hepatic dysfunction found in Gilbert's syndrome. Specifically, this mutation inserts an extra TA in the TATA box sequence of the UGTA1A promoter. This transgene was microinjected into fertilized (BALB/c x C57BL/6N)F1 oocytes, and UGT1A1*28 founder mice from line 1, carrying 6 copies of the transgene on Chromosome 15, were bred to C57BL/6NJ mice for at least 5 generations. Upon arrival at The Jackson Laboratory, mice were bred to C57BL/6NJ mice (Stock No. 005304) for at least one generation to establish the colony.
