Dnm3 (dynamin 3) is a neuron-specific protein involved with syanaptic vescicle endocytosis. These mice carry a Dnm3 (dynamin 3) knockout allele that worsens the Dnm1 (dynamin 1) knockout phenotype.

Targeted (Null/Knockout) | Dnm3 | dynamin 3 |
These mice carry a targeted mutation of the Dnm3 (dynamin 3) gene shown to block protein expression in brain, lung and testis (sites of major expression). Homozygotes are viable, fertile, and do not display any gross physical or behavioral abnormalities. Lack of this protein alone in mice does not produce an obvious pathological phenotype, but in combination with a Dnm1 (dynamin 1) knockout, it worsens the Dnm1 mutant phenotype. Double knockout mice die shortly after birth and their neurons show a more severe defect in compensatory synaptic vesicle endocytosis.
Exon 2 of the targeted gene was flanked by a loxP site in intron 1 and a FRT-flanked PGK-Neo sequence followed by a loxP site in intron 2. The targeting vector was electroporated into C57BL/6J-129S1/Sv-p+Tyr+Kitl + hybrid embryonic stem cells. Male chimeric offspring were mated to a C57BL/6 background FLPe recombinase-expressing deleter strain to excise the PGK-Neo sequence, leaving exon 2 flanked by loxP sites. Mating to an ACTB-Cre deleter strain yielded the knockout allele. This strain was maintained on a mixed C57BL/6 and 129S1 genetic background by the donating laboratory.

Molecular Note | Cre-mediated recombination removed exon 2 and the neo cassette. The absence of protein expression was confirmed by western blot analysis on brain, testis, and lung extracts. |
When maintained as a live colony, homozygotes or heterozygotes may be bred.

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.
