These RosaGli3TFlag c/c mice contain a floxed-neomycin resistance (neo) cassette and polyadenylation signal, cDNA encoding a FLAG-tagged GLI-Kruppel family member (Gli3) repressor gene, an internal ribosome entry site (IRES), and a Venus yellow fluorescent protein (YFP) under control of the ubiquitous Gt(ROSA)26Sor locus. Breeding these mutant mice to mice that express Cre-recombinase will also result in Floxed-neo-stop excision. When these mice are crossed to mice containing Cre-recombinase under direction of a paired related homeobox 1 (Prrx1) promoter (see Stock No. <a href="https://www.jax.org/strain/005584">005584</a>), active in early limb mesenchyme, the mice produce Gli3TFlag at levels that are comparable with the endogenous protein. Mice exhibited a variety of limb defects including a variable preaxial forelimb polydactyly, limb truncation, and reduced mineralization. These mice may be useful for understanding Sonic hedgehog signaling and identifying targets of Gli3 action in developing mouse limbs.
