B6;129S6-Gt(Rosa)26Sortm2(mCherry)Mgn

This mouse lines expresses mCherry, a red flourescent protein, under control of the endogenous ROSA26 gene locus.  This mouse was generated as part of a study to identify the optimal combination of regulatory elements for flourescent protein expression from a single gene copy.

Genetic Alteration

Mutation #1: RMCE Targeted Mutagenesis
Type of AlleleCassette Acceptor
Targeted GeneName: gene trap ROSA 26, Philippe Soriano
Symbol: Gt(ROSA)26Sor
NCBI: 14910
Allele Name: targeted mutation 1
Symbol: Rosa26tm1(LCA)
MGI: MGI:5085307
Description of Targeting Vector

This mouse line contains a loxed cassette acceptor (LCA) allele in which a 5.17 kb region of the gene has been replaced by a lox71 site, a puromycin-(delta)-thymidine kinase fusion gene driven by the mouse phosphoglycerol kinase promoter, a kanamycin resistance gene driven by the bacterial EM7 promoter, and a lox2272 site.  These features enable use of Recombinase-Mediated Cassette Exchange (RMCE)  for the rapid insertion of various DNAs into the the Rosa26 gene locus.

This figure shows how this line of mice was made. Coding sequences for a red (mCherry) flourescent protein gene were inserted into an exchange cassette that allowed RMCE into a ROSA26 [LCA] allele. In this manner, mCherry is constitutively expressed under control of the endogenous ROSA26 promoter. The exchange plasmid also contains a 51bp translational enhancer (5' leader sequence from Xenopus beta-globin), a Kozak sequence upstream of the start codon, and intronic an polyA sequences from the rabbit beta-globin gene that confer stability to the mRNA.
