Exon 9 of the mouse Crebbp gene is flanked by loxP sites in this conditional mutant strain that is useful in studies of tumor suppression and transcriptional regulation. Cre-mediated excision of the floxed region results in a knockout allele.

Crebbp (CREB binding protein, also known as CBP) is a protein acetyltransferase that is required for normal development and acts as a tumor suppressor. It interacts with a significant percentage of mammalian transcriptional regulatory proteins and mutations in the gene have been found in hematopoietic and epithelial tumors.
Exon 9 of the mouse Crebbp gene is flanked by loxP sites in this conditional mutant strain. Homozygous floxed mice are viable, fertile and have a normal lifespan. Cre-mediated excision of the floxed region results in a knockout allele, as confirmed by immunohistochemistry.
A loxP site was introduced to intron 8 and a loxP-neomycin-HSV tk-loxP cassette was placed in intron 9 via homologous recombination in an unspecified embryonic stem (ES) cell line. Transient expression of cre recombinase in the ES cells excised the neomycin-HSV-tk cassette, leaving exon 9 flanked by loxP sites. Resultant chimeric mice were crossed with C57BL/6J animals, then to 129P2/Ola for 2 generations. Fertility/productivity issues precipitated 17 generations of backcrossing to 129S2/SvPasCrl by the donating laboratory.

Molecular Note | A loxP recombination site was inserted in intron 8 and a floxed Neo-HSV tk selection cassette was inserted in intron 9. The selection cassette was then removed from correctly targeted ES cells by by transient expression of cre recombinase. |
Homozygous and heterozygous 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.
