BRC No.RBRC11512
TypeTargeted MutationCartagena
SpeciesMus musculus
Strain nameB6;129P2-Utf1<tm1Okud>
Former Common nameUTF1 knockout mouse
H-2 Haplotype
ES Cell lineE14 [129P2/OlaHsd]
Background strain
Appearance
Strain developmentStrain development: The targeting vector harboring neomycin resistance gene with SV40 poly-A addition signal under control of the endogenous UTF1 enhance-promoter was transferred to E14 ES cells to replace the 1st exon of UTF1 gene. The resultant UTF1 locus can produce no UTF1 protein (even the truncated form). Developer: Dr. Yo-ichi Nabeshima (National Institute of Neuroscience, Kodaira, Tokyo (1997), Present Affiliation :Foundation for Biomedical Research and Innovation at Kobe, Hyogo)Year of Development: 1997Year of Distribution: 1998
Strain descriptionThe prominent phenotype of UTF1 KO homozygous mice is “in utero growth retardation”. This phenotype is due to the growth retardation of placenta, not due to the defect of the differentiation program of embryo per se. This placental growth defect is unexpected because UTF1 gene is identified as a gene whose expression is pluripotent cell specific (Okuda, A. et al. (1998) EMBO J. 17: 2019–2032). This UTF1 KO phenotype indicates that this mouse strain may be useful to analyze not only the differentiation program of the embryo but also the placental developmental program.Homozygous mutant of C57BL/6J background is embryonic or peri-natal lethal. Some of the homozygous mutant mice of F1 (B6 and ICR) genetic background are viable. This phenotypic difference suggests that the severity of phenotype may be dependent on the genetic background (see Nishimoto,M. et al. (2013) PLoS ONE 8(7): e68119). Appearance: Black [a/a B/B C/C]Colony maintenance: Heterozygote crossing to C57BL/6JJcl
Colony maintenanceBackcross C57BL/6J (Jcl) : backcross to male C57BL/6J at least three generations. Homozygous mouse shows the “in utero growth retardation” phenotype.
