In these double mutant mice, GATA4 is biotinylated, allowing for specific imunoprecipitation of both GATA4 and the proteins GATA4 interacts with.

These biallelic Gata4flbio mutant mice possess a FLAG/bio epitope tag downstream of the 3' UTR of the GATA binding protein 4 (Gata4) gene. GATA4 is a zinc-finger-containing transcription factor expressed in cardiomyocytes and has a role in regulating the expression of genes involved in cardiac differentiation. These mice also contain the Gt(ROSA)26Sortm1(birA)Mejr allele, which expresses HA (hemagglutinin) tagged bacterial birA, bifunctional protein (biotin ligase) (see Stock No. 010920). In these double mutant mice, GATA4 is biotinylated, allowing for specific imunoprecipitation of GATA4 and bound proteins. Homozygous mice are viable, fertile, normal in size and do not display any gross physical or behavioral abnormalities.
A targeting vector was designed to insert a FLAG/bio epitope tag and a frt-flanked neomycin resistance (neo) cassette at the endogenous GATA binding protein 4 (Gata4) stop codon and upstream of the 3' UTR. The construct was electroporated into 129S4/SvJae-derived J1 embryonic stem (ES) cells and correctly targeted ES cells were injected into blastocysts. The resulting chimeric mice were bred to outbred Swiss Webster mice. Offspring were bred with Tg(ACTFLPe)9205Dym transgenic mice to delete the neo cassette. The resulting Gata4flbio mice were maintained on a Swiss Webster background. These mice were subsequently bred to FVB;129P2-Gt(ROSA)26Sortm1(birA)Mejr/J mice (Stock No. 010920) and double homozygous mice were maintained by the Cardiovascular Development Consortium (CvDC), an NIH-funded consortium within the Bench-to-Bassinett (B2B) program. Upon arrival, mice were bred to FVB/NJ inbred mice (Stock No. 001800) for at least one generation to establish The Jackson Laboratory Repository colony.

Chromosome | 6 |
Molecular Note | An HA (hemagglutinin) tagged E. coli bacterial birA, bifunctional protein (biotin ligase), gene was inserted into exon 3 of the rabbit beta-globin gene. The entire birA ORF, with the rabbit beta globin splice acceptor and transcription termination sequences were excised to generate a targeting vector that also contained a floxed PGK- puromycin selection cassette. This targeting vector was inserted into the first intron of the Gt(ROSA)26Sor gene. Cre-mediated recombination removed the floxed puromycin cassette. Western blot of mutants demonstrated the expression of birA in all tissues tested, though levels of expression varied from tissue to tissue. |

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.
