Generation of mice with a conditional Foxp2 null allele
Disruptions of the human FOXP2 gene cause problems with articulation of complex speech sounds, accompanied by impairment in many aspects of language ability. The FOXP2/Foxp2 transcription factor is highly similar in humans and mice, and shows a complex conserved expression pattern, with high levels in neuronal subpopulations of the cortex, striatum, thalamus, and cerebellum. In the present stud...
متن کاملGeneration of a conditional null allele for Cftr in mice.
The cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene encodes a cAMP-regulated chloride channel that is important in controlling the exchange of fluid and electrolytes across epithelial cells. Mutation of CFTR can lead to cystic fibrosis (CF), the most common lethal genetic disease in Caucasians. CF is a systemic illness with multiple organ systems affected including pulmonary, ga...
متن کاملGeneration of mice harboring a Sox5 conditional null allele.
Sox5 belongs to the Sry-related HMG box gene family, which encodes transcription factors controlling cell fate and differentiation in many lineages. Sox5 produces a long L-Sox5 protein in neuronal, glial, neural crest, cartilage, and other cells, and a short Sox5 protein in spermatids. Sox5(-/-) mice have revealed essential roles for L-Sox5 in development but their neonatal death has prevented ...
متن کاملGeneration and characterization of mice with a conditional null allele of the HtrA4 gene
High temperature requirement factor A4 (HtrA4) is a member of the HtrA family of serine peptidases involved in regulating protein‑protein interactions. Little is known regarding the function of HtrA4 in humans and in mouse models. To gain insights into the role of HtrA4 in vivo, mice were generated with a conditional null allele of HtrA4 by flanking exons 4, 5 and 6 with loxP sites. Cre‑mediate...
متن کاملGeneration of mice with a conditional allele for Trim33.
Trim33 (Tif1gamma, ectodermin, moonshine), a member of the TIF1 family of transcriptional coactivators and corepressors, is a large nuclear protein that contains an N-terminal tripartite (Trim) domain composed of a RING domain, two B-box domains, and a coiled coil domain. It has been suggested that Trim33 (Ectodermin) mediates ectodermal induction in the Xenopus by functioning as a Smad4 ubiqui...
