These NCoRlox mutant mice possess loxP sites flanking exons 37-40 of the nuclear receptor co-repressor 1 (Ncor1) gene. Exons 37-40 encode two of three 5' receptor interacting domains (RIDs). NCOR1 is recruited through interactions of its RIDs to nuclear receptors, such as retinoic-acid and thyroid-hormone receptors (TR), where it acts as a transcription repressor. Mice that are homozygous for this allele are viable, fertile, normal in size and do not display any gross physical or behavioral abnormalities. When bred to mice that express tissue-specific Cre recombinase, resulting offspring will have exons 37-40 deleted in the cre-expressing tissues. For example, when bred to B6.Cg-Tg(Alb-cre)21Mgn/J mice (Stock No. 003574) deletion of the two most 5' RIDs (N2 and N3) in the liver results in the inability of NCOR1 to bind to the TR. This strain may be useful for studying the role of NCOR1 on regulation of nuclear receptor signaling.
A targeting vector was designed to insert a loxP site upstream of exon 37 followed by a second loxP site and a frt-flanked neomycin resistance (neo) cassette downstream of exon 40 of the nuclear receptor co-repressor 1 (Ncor1) gene. The construct was electroporated into 129S4/SvJae-derived J1 embryonic stem (ES) cells. Correctly targeted ES cells were injected into C57BL/6 blastocysts and resulting chimeric males were bred to C57BL/6NTac females. The resulting offspring were bred with 129S4-Gt(ROSA)26Sortm1(FLP1)Dym/J mice (Stock No. 003946) to delete the neo cassette, and progeny were crossed to remove the Flp-expressing transgene. The mice were subsequently bred to B6.Cg-Tg(Alb-cre)21Mgn/J mice (Stock No. 003574) and
B6.Cg-Tg(UBC-cre/ERT2)1Ejb/J mice (Stock No. 008085) for experimental purposes. The DI reports that the Cre-expressing transgene has been removed. These mice were maintained on a mixed background. Upon arrival, mice were bred to C57BL/6J inbred mice (Stock No. 000664) for at least one generation.

Molecular Note | A loxP site was inserted upstream of exon 38 and an frt flanked neo cassette with a 5' loxP site was inserted downstream of exon 41. Germ line, flp-mediated recombination was used to remove the neo cassette leaving exons 38 through 41 floxed. These exons encode two of the three receptor interacting domains (N2 and N3). |

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.
