Overview

Also Known As:Y* brown

Male mice of this strain carry an abnormal Y chromosome that can be used as a cytological marker and may be useful in studies of spermatogenesis.

Details

Detailed Description

This strain contains an abnormal LT/Sv-derived Y Chromosome comprising a spontaneous rearrangement (Eicher et al. 1991), formally designated Y(IsXPAR;Y)Ei and informally called Y*. Burgoyne et. al, (1998), updated the original description of the cytogenetic changes in this abnormal Y Chromosome, as an end-to-end fusion of two pseudoautosomal regions (PAR). Males with this abnormal Y Chromosome (XY*) are fully fertile and can be used to transmit this chromosomal aberration. Duplication of the PAR in Y* males permits generation of X and Y reciprocal translocation products during meiosis (see figure 1 in Eicher et.al 1991). Sperm produced by XY* males contain either a normal X Chromosome, the intact, complete Y^*, a large marker sex chromosome comprising an X Chromosome and most of the Y (Y^*), or a tiny cytogenetic marker sex chromosome (Y^X). Among offspring are the following genotypes and corresponding phenotypes:

XY^*, which are fully fertile males

XX, normal females

XX^Y*, which are sterile males in which gonad development is normal but spermatogenesis fails resulting in smaller testes after puberty. These males can be classified by manually palpating for testes size after 6 weeks of age. The testes are significantly smaller compared with any normal control male of the same age. Also these mice have a very large marker Chromosome (Fig 1, Eicher et al. 1991) easily seen after simple Giemsa staining (G-banding is not necessary. Alternatively these mice have nearly 2 complete X Chromosomes so these mice can be differentiated from normal XY<*> males by an Xist expression assay (Werler et al. 2011).

XY^*X females, which are fertile but litter size and number of litters produced will be less than expected for C57BL/6. These mice have a tiny cytogenetic marker (Fig 1, Eicher et al. 1991) easily seen after Giemsa staining of mitotic metaphase preparations.

Development

Y(IsXPAR;Y)Ei, also called Y*, arose during the backcrossing of Pgk1^a from wild-derived mice of Danish origin onto the LT/Sv inbred background (Eicher et al., 1991). Sterile males with small testes and a very large X chromosome by cytology were identified in the ninth backcross generation. Later this mutation was backcrossed along with Tyrp1^B-lt from the strain LT/SvEi-Y* onto C57BL/6JEi by consecutive crosses of a male carrying an abnormal LT Y chromosome, XY^*, to a C57BL/6JEi female. In 1994 embryos for this strain were cryopreserved from C57BL/6JEi females bred to carrier males at backcross generation N21, still segregating for Tyrp1^B-lt. For a cryopreserved sperm bankstock with Tyrp1^B-lt bred out please see stock No. 002021.

Strain of Origin	LT/Sv
Chromosome	Y
Molecular Note	The Y* PAR chromosome has resulted from an end to end fusion of an X and a Y PAR. Furthermore, it was shown that in conjuction with this PAR-PAR fusion, there has been a deletion of both copies of the distally located pseudoautosomal gene Steroid sulfatase (Sts). The arrangement of the two PAR regions permits reciprocal translocation of X and Y chromatin at every meiotic event in the male resulting in half of the sperm produced bearing one of two abnormal sex chromosome.

Payment Terms and Conditions

Terms are granted by individual review and stated on the customer invoice(s) and account statement. These transactions are payable in U.S. currency within the granted terms. Payment for services, products, shipping containers, and shipping costs that are rendered are expected within the payment terms indicated on the invoice or stated by contract. Invoices and account balances in arrears of stated terms may result in The Jackson Laboratory pursuing collection activities including but not limited to outside agencies and court filings.

The Jackson Laboratory's Genotype Promise

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.
