This Df(17)4Yey/+ mutant strain contains one copy of mouse Chromosome 17 with the targeted sequence deleted between, and including, the ATP-binding cassette, sub-family G (WHITE), member 1 (Abcg1) gene and ribosomal RNA processing 1 homolog B (S. cerevisiae) (Rrp1b) gene. These mice may be useful for understanding developmental and cognitive disabilities associated with Monosomy 21.

Targeted (Null/Knockout) | Del(17Abcg1-Rrp1b)5Yey | deletion, Chr 17, Y Eugene Yu 5 |
This Df(17)4Yey/+ mutant strain contains one copy of mouse Chromosome 17 with the targeted sequence deleted between, and including, the ATP-binding cassette, sub-family G (WHITE), member 1 (Abcg1) gene and ribosomal RNA processing 1 homolog B (S. cerevisiae) (Rrp1b) 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(17)4Yey/+ lacks 19 genes on Chromosome 17 which share conserved synteny with 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, and abnormal spatial learning. These mice may be useful for understanding developmental and cognitive disabilities associated with Monosomy 21.
Chromosome-engineering cassettes were inserted into mouse Chromosome 17 of 129S7/SvEvBrd-Hprt1b-m2-derived AB2.2 embryonic stem (ES) cells, bracketing a span of approximately 1.1 Mb between, and including, the ATP-binding cassette, sub-family G (WHITE), member 1 (Abcg1) gene and ribosomal RNA processing 1 homolog B (S. cerevisiae) (Rrp1b) gene. The cassette placed at the proximal locus was targeted upstream of Abcg1 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 Rrp1b 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 17 with the targeted sequence deleted (Del), were injected into C57BL/6J-Tyrc-Brd blastocysts. The resulting chimeric males were mated to C57BL/6J females and were subsequently backcrossed to 129/SvEv mice for at least 7 generations to produce a colony of Df(17)4Yey/+ 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 | 17 |
Molecular Note | Cre mediated chromosomal rearrangement between loxP sites in regions proximal to Abcg1 and distal to Rrp1b resulted in the deletion of the genes, including Abcg1 and Rrp1b, in this approximately 1.1 Mb region that is syntenic with the proximal part of human 21q22.3. |
When maintaining a live colony, heterozygous mice may be bred to wildtype (non-carrier) mice from the colony or to 129S1/SvImJ inbred mice (Stock No. 002448).
When using the 129S(B6)-Del(17Abcg1-Rrp1b)5Yey/J mouse strain in a publication, please cite the originating article(s) and include JAX stock #017440 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.
