These I756T+neo mice carry the I756T point mutation in exon 17 of the Cacna1f, calcium channel, voltage-dependent, alpha 1F subunit, (756 is the mouse equivalent to residue 745 in human CACNA1F) as well as a FRT flanked NEO selection cassette and loxP sites flanking exons 14 through 17. This mutant mouse strain may be useful in studies of calcium channelopathies, incomplete congenital stationary night blindness, photoreceptor electrophysiology, and the role of the Cav1.4 channel in survival of naive T cells.

Targeted (Humanized sequence) | Cacna1f | calcium channel, voltage-dependent, alpha 1F subunit |
L-type voltage dependent calcium channels are a primary means calcium ion entry into the cell. The alpha 1F subunit makes up the central pore forming portion of the L-type voltage dependent calcium channel, Cav1.4. Genetic defects in Cav1.4 can cause human incomplete congenital stationary night blindness. These mice carry a point mutation in exon 17 that results in an amino acid substitution of threonine for isoleucine at position 756 (the mouse equivalent to residue 745 in human CACNA1F), a FRT site flanked NEO selection cassette and loxP sites flanking exons 14 through 17 (including the selection cassette).
Female mice that are homozygous and male mice that are hemizygous for the targeted mutation are viable, normal in size and do not display any gross physical or behavioral abnormalities. The Donating Investigator reports that the selection cassette appears to interfere with gene expression (splicing), and that mutant mice exhibit abnormal retinal immunohistochemistry results. This strain was used to generate a knock out strain (Stock No. 017761) and a strain expressing the I756T point mutation (Stock No. 017762).
A targeting vector was used to insert a point mutation in exon 17 that results in an amino acid substitution of threonine for isoleucine at position position 756, the mouse equivalent to residue 745 in human CACNA1F, FRT site flanked PGKneo cassette into intron 17, as well as loxP sites into introns 13 and 17. A portion of intron 14 was also deleted. The construct was electroporated into C57BL/6 derived Bruce4 embryonic stem (ES) cells. Correctly targeted ES cells were injected into recipient blastocysts. The resulting chimeric animals were crossed to C57BL/6 mice.

Strain of Origin | B6.Cg-Thy1a |
Chromosome | X |
Molecular Note | A loxP site was inserted upstream of exon 14, and an frt flanked neo cassette with 3' loxP site was inserted downstream of exon 17. This exon contains nucleotide substitutions that result in the amino acid substitution of threonine for isoleucine at position 756 which corresponds to the human I745T mutation found in human patients with an X-linked retinal disorder. |

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.
