The first PDZ domain of Grip1 is flanked by loxP sites in this conditional knockout strain. This enables the development of Cre-mediated knockouts useful in studies of synaptic plasticity.

Targeted (Conditional ready (e.g. floxed), No functional change) | Grip1 | glutamate receptor interacting protein 1 |
Grip1 (glutamate receptor interacting protein 1) binds GluR2 (Gria2)-containing α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid (AMPA) receptors and couples them to structural and signaling complexes in neurons. Deletion of both GRIP1 and GRIP2 blocks long-term synaptic depression (LTD) in primary cultures of mouse cerebellar neurons in a model system of synaptic plasticity.
The first PDZ (postsynaptic density protein-95 (PSD-95)/Drosophila disc large tumor suppressor (Dlg1)/zona occludens-1 protein) domain of the Grip1 gene is flanked by loxP sites in this conditional targeted mutant strain. Expression of Cre recombinase results in the deletion of the first PDZ1 exon, causing a frameshift mutation that introduces an immediate stop codon in the GRIP1 transcript.
Two exons encode the first PDZ (postsynaptic density protein-95 (PSD-95)/Drosophila disc large tumor suppressor (Dlg1)/zona occludens-1 protein) domain of the targeted gene. An Frt-flanked PGK neomycin cassette (in reverse transcriptional orientation) followed by a loxP site was introduced to the intron located between the two exons. An additional loxP site was placed 5' of the first PDZ exon. The targeted mutation was created through homologous recombination in (129X1/SvJ x 129S1/Sv)F1- Kitl+-derived R1 embryonic stem (ES) cells. Resultant chimeric animals were bred to C57BL/6 mice. Heterozygotes were then bred to C57BL/6 background animals expressing FLP recombinase from a human ACTB promoter (Tg(ACTFLPe)#Dym) to delete the neomycin cassette. This strain was backcrossed to C57BL/6 for 10 generations by the donating laboratory.

Chromosome | 10 |
Molecular Note | A loxP site was inserted upstream of the first coding exon and an frt-flanked neo cassette with a 3' loxP site was inserted downstream of this exon. Germ line, flp-mediated recombination was used to remove the neo cassette leaving the first coding exon floxed. |
Heterozygous and homozygous floxed mice are viable and fertile.

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.
