Detailed Description

Mice homozygous for the staggerer spontaneous mutation (Rora^sg) show a staggering gait, mild tremor, hypotonia, and small size. The cerebellar cortex of homozygous mutant mice is grossly underdeveloped with a deficiency of granule cells and Purkinje cells. The remaining granule cells migrate inward from the external layer prematurely and then degenerate. Purkinje cells are much delayed in postnatal differentiation and lack the dendritic spines on which synapses with the parallel fibers from the granule cells normally occur. Staggerer mutant mice have been used as a source of an agranulate cerebellum in a number of investigations of the composition and function of granule cells. Kopmels et al. have reported a hyperproduction of IL1 biological activity and mRNA from LPS stimulated spleen cells of Rora^sg/Rora^sg mice on the C57BL/6J background relative to wild type siblings.

In this congenic strain the staggerer mutation is maintained in repulsionwith both the dilute (Myo5a^d) and short ear (Bmp5^se) mutations.

Development

The first Rora^sg/Rora^sg mouse was observed in 1955 among the F2 progeny of a (BALB/cHm x C3H/HeJ)F1 female and a male of an obese (Lep^ob) stock of mixed background. The mutation was maintained for several generations by an intercross-backcross (within the same or a parallel lineage) mating scheme, then was backcrossed onto C57BL/6J for four generations. A Rora^sg/+ male from the fourth backcross was mated to a female C57BL/10-Myo5a^d Bmp5^se mouse to introduce the dilute and short-ear mutations into the stock in repulsion with Rora^{6 sg}; this allowed the heterozygotes (Rora^sg + +/+ Myo5a^d Bmp5^se to be identified by a lack of either recessive phenotype. Brother-sister inbreeding was continued. In 1978, which the line was at generation F55, Myo5a^d Bmp^se was backcrossed onto C57BL/6J seven times through a two generation backcross-intercross breeding scheme; at F58, Rora^sg was backcrossed onto C57BL/6J four times also by backcross-intercross. The Rora^sg + +/+ Myo5a^d Bmp5^se stock was then reconstructed by crossing mice of the two independent stocks and maintained by brother-sister inbreeding. In 1982, after 4 or 5 generations of sibling crosses, embryos were generated for cryopreservation from proven Rora^sg + +/+ Myo5a^d Bmp5^se repulsion heterozygous males bred to females that were likely also repulsion heterozygotes. The recovered pups are expected to be either homozygous for Rora^sg and wildtype for dilute and short ear, wildtype for Rora and homozygous for dilute or short ear, or have no phenotype and be repulsion heterozygotes Rora^sg + +/+ Myo5a^d Bmp5^se.

Genetics

Myo5a^d

Allele Symbol: Myo5a^d

Allele Name	dilute
Allele Type	Spontaneous
Allele Synonym(s)	blue dilution; d; d^v; Maltese dilution
Gene Symbol and Name	Myo5a, myosin VA
Gene Synonym(s)
Strain of Origin	old mutant of the mouse fancy
Chromosome	9
Molecular Note	This mutation is the result of the integration of ecotropic murine leukemia virus Emv-3 into a noncoding region of the Myo5a^d gene. Reversions of Myo5a^d to wild-type are caused by excision of the virus leaving exactly one long terminal repeat in place.

Bmp5^se

Allele Symbol: Bmp5^se

Allele Name	short ear
Allele Type	Spontaneous
Allele Synonym(s)	se^GnJ
Gene Symbol and Name	Bmp5, bone morphogenetic protein 5
Gene Synonym(s)
Strain of Origin	mice from Abbie Lathrop mouse farm
Chromosome	9
General Note	Phenotypic Similarity to Human Syndrome: Ear, Patella, Short Stature Syndrome (Meier-Gorlin Syndrome) in homozygous mice (J:24474)
Molecular Note	The C to T substitution creates a stop codon at arginine codon 208 (p.R208*). The resulting truncated protein does not include the carboxy terminal signaling portion of the molecule.

Rora^sg

Allele Symbol: Rora^sg

Allele Name	staggerer
Allele Type	Spontaneous
Allele Synonym(s)	RORalpha^-; sg
Gene Symbol and Name	Rora, RAR-related orphan receptor alpha
Gene Synonym(s)
Strain of Origin	obese stock
Chromosome	9
Molecular Note	This allele contains a 6.5kb genomic deletion of an exon encoding part of the ligand binding domain. The deletion results in an exon-skipping event that introduces a shift in the reading frame. The resulting protein is predicted to be truncated due to introduction of a premature stop codon.

Breeding Considerations

Rora^sg/Rora^sg mice can be identified by 10-15 days of age by their poor locomotor coordination, lurching movements and frequent falls; homozygotes as young as three days can be distinguished by behavioral testing (Heuze et al.1997). Myo5a^d Bmp5^se homozygotes can be identified by short ears and a slate gray coat color.

The Jackson Laboratory's Genotype Promise

The Jackson Laboratory has rigorous genetic quality control and mutant gene genotyping programs to ensure the genetic background of JAX® Mice strains as well as the genotypes of strains with identified molecular mutations. JAX® Mice strains are only made available to researchers after meeting our standards. However, the phenotype of each strain may not be fully characterized and/or captured in the strain data sheets. Therefore, we cannot guarantee a strain's phenotype will meet all expectations. To ensure that JAX® Mice will meet the needs of individual research projects or when requesting a strain that is new to your research, we suggest ordering and performing tests on a small number of mice to determine suitability for your particular project. We do not guarantee breeding performance and therefore suggest that investigators order more than one breeding pair to avoid delays in their research.
