This Df(10)5Yey/+ mutant strain contains one copy of mouse Chromosome 10 with the targeted sequence deleted between, and including, the protein arginine N-methyltransferase 2 (Prmt2) gene and the pyridoxal (pyridoxine, vitamin B6) kinase (Pdxk) gene. These mice may be useful for understanding developmental and cognitive disabilities associated with Monosomy 21.

Targeted (Null/Knockout) | Del(10Prmt2-Pdxk)4Yey | deletion, Chr 10, Y Eugene Yu 4 |
This Df(10)5Yey/+ mutant strain contains one copy of mouse Chromosome 10 with the targeted sequence deleted between, and including, the protein arginine N-methyltransferase 2 (Prmt2) gene and the pyridoxal (pyridoxine, vitamin B6) kinase (Pdxk) gene. Heterozygous mice are viable and fertile. This deleted region on the mouse chromosome is one of two regions orthologous to a deleted copy of human Chromosome 21 (Hsa21) which has been implicated in developmental cognitive disabilities like Down Syndrome (DS) and Monosomy 21. Dp(10)5Yey/+ lacks 41 genes on Chromosome 10 which are syntenic to the distal part of human 21q22.3, and is orthologous to genes on Hsa21. These mice exhibit Monosomy 21 related phenotypic defects including impaired contextual conditioning behavior, abnormal spatial learning, and abnormal motor coordination and balance. These mice may be useful for understanding developmental and cognitive disabilities associated with Monosomy 21.
Chromosome-engineering cassettes were inserted into mouse Chromosome 10 of 129S7/SvEvBrd-Hprt1b-m2-derived AB2.2 embryonic stem (ES) cells, bracketing a span of approximately 2.3 Mb between, and including, the protein arginine N-methyltransferase 2 (Prmt2) gene and pyridoxal (pyridoxine, vitamin B6) kinase (Pdxk) gene. The cassette placed at the proximal locus was targeted upstream of Prmt2 and contained an agouti transgene, a 3' portion of an HPRT minigene, a loxP site and puromycin resistance gene. The cassette placed at the distal locus was targeted downstream of the Pdxk gene and contained a neomycin resistance gene, a loxP site, a 5' portion of an HPRT minigene, and a tyrosinase minigene. Double-targeted ES cells were transiently transfected with the cre recombinase expression vector pOG231. After subsequent selection of recombinants by using hypoxanthine aminopterin thymidine (HAT) media, correctly targeted ES cells, containing one copy of mouse Chromosome 10 with the targeted sequence deleted (Del), were injected into C57BL/6J-Tyrc-Brd blastocysts. The resulting chimeric males were mated to 129/SvEv females to produce a colony of Df(10)5Yey/+ mice. Upon arrival at The Jackson Laboratory these mice were bred to 129S1/SvImJ mice (Stock No. 002448) for at least one generation.

Strain of Origin | 129S7/SvEvBrd-Hprtb-m2 |
Chromosome | 10 |
Molecular Note | Cre mediated chromosomal rearrangement between loxP sites in regions proximal to Prmt2 and distal to Pdxk resulted in deletion of the genes, including Prmt2 and Pdxk, in this approximately 2.3 Mb region that is syntenic with the distal part of human 21q22.3. |
When maintaining a live colony, heterozygous mice may be bred to wildtype (noncarrier) mice from the colony or to 129S1/SvImJ inbred mice (Stock No. 002448).
When using the 129S-Del(10Prmt2-Pdxk)4Yey/J mouse strain in a publication, please cite the originating article(s) and include JAX stock #017439 in your Materials and Methods section.

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.
