Targeted disruption of the murine zyxin gene.
Zyxin is an evolutionarily conserved protein that is concentrated at sites of cell adhesion, where it associates with members of the Enabled (Ena)/vasodilator-stimulated phosphoprotein (VASP) family of cytoskeletal regulators and is postulated to play a role in cytoskeletal dynamics and signaling. Zyxin transcripts are detected throughout murine embryonic development, and the protein is widely ...
متن کاملTargeted disruption of the murine Fanconi anemia gene, Fancg/Xrcc9.
Fanconi anemia (FA) is a human autosomal recessive cancer susceptibility disorder characterized by cellular sensitivity to mitomycin C and ionizing radiation. Six FA genes (corresponding to subtypes A, C, D2, E, F, and G) have been cloned, and the encoded FA proteins interact in a common cellular pathway. To further understand the in vivo role of one of these human genes (FANCG), we generated a...
متن کاملTargeted disruption of the murine tissue factor gene results in embryonic lethality.
Tissue factor (TF) is an integral membrane glycoprotein that is believed to be the physiologic initiator of the blood coagulation cascade. Disruption of the mouse tissue factor gene leads to embryonic lethality between days E9.5-E11.5 of gestation. On E9.5, TF(-/-) embryos appear indistinguishable from their TF(+/+) and TF(+/-) littermates. By E10.5, TF(-/-) embryos are severely growth retarded...
متن کاملTargeted disruption of the murine dihydrolipoamide dehydrogenase gene (Dld) results in perigastrulation lethality.
The Dld gene product, known as dihydrolipoamide dehydrogenase or the E3 component, catalyzes the oxidation of dihydrolipoyl moieties of four mitochondrial multienzyme complexes: pyruvate dehydrogenase, alpha-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase, branched-chain alpha-ketoacid dehydrogenase, and the glycine cleavage system. Deficiency of E3 activity in humans results in various degrees of neurological dys...
متن کاملTargeted disruption of the murine mucin gene 1 decreases susceptibility to cholesterol gallstone formation.
Gallbladder mucins play a critical role in the pathogenesis of cholesterol gallstones because of their ability to bind biliary lipids and accelerate cholesterol crystallization. Mucin secretion and accumulation in the gallbladder is determined by multiple mucin genes. To study whether mucin gene 1 (Muc1) influences susceptibility to cholesterol cholelithiasis, we investigated male Muc1-deficien...
