Description

This hypomorphic gene trap demonstrates the role of Sec24d (Sec24 related gene family, member D (S. cerevisiae)) in embryonic development and protein secretion via COPII-coated vesicles.

Detailed description

COPII-coated vesicles carry newly-synthesized proteins from the endoplasmic reticulem to the Golgi as part of the secretory pathway. SEC23/SEC24 protein heterodimers are an essential component of the COPII coat inner layer.

This hypomorphic gene trap derived from Bay Genomics embryonic stem (ES) cell clone RRR785 disrupts paralog Sec24d (Sec24 related gene family, member D (S. cerevisiae)). Homozygotes are embryonic lethal, but survive to mid-gestation (E13.5). Heterozygotes are viable and fertile.

Development

Bay Genomics embryonic stem (ES) cell line RRR785, derived from 129P2/OlaHsd and expressing β-geo (a fusion of β-galactosidase and neomycin phosphotransferase II), was sequenced to locate the Sec24d gene trap insertion site at position 639 of intron 20. ES cells were cultured and microinjected into blastocysts. Resultant chimeras were backcrossed to C57BL/6J for at least 15 generations by the donating laboratory.
