Targeted (Conditional ready (e.g. floxed), No functional change) | Rcor1 | REST corepressor 1 |
The corepressor Rcor1 (REST corepressor 1) is essential for murine erythropoiesis. It represses expression of hematopoietic stem cells and myeloid genes.
Exon 4 of the mouse Rcor1 gene are flanked by loxP sites in this conditional mutant strain. Cre-mediated excision of the floxed region results in a null allele, as determined by Western blot.
Homozygous knockout mice generated through crosses with Meox2-Cre mice (see Stock No. 003755) show a block in fetal erythropoiesis at the proerythroblast stage. Animals die around embryonic day 16.5 due to severe anemia and fetal liver erythropoietic defects. Rcor1 null erythroid progenitors cultured in vitro form myeloid colonies instead of erythroid colonies.
Floxed mice can be bred with Mx1-Cre mice (see Stock No. 003556) to generate embryos in which the expression of Cre is inducible by IFN-α.
A loxP site was introduced to intron 3 and a FRT-PGK-Neo-pA-splice donor-FRT-loxP cassette was placed in intron 4. The mutation was created through homologous recombination in 129S1/Sv-Oca2+Tyr+Kitl+-derived W9.5 embryonic stem (ES) cells. Resultant chimeric mice were crossed with C57BL/6J animals to establish germline transmission. The FRT-flanked neomycin cassette was excised through crosses with a strain expressing FLP recombinase driven by the human ACTB promoter(see Stock No. 003800). Exon 4 remains flanked by loxP sites. Mice were backcrossed to C57BL/6J mice for at least 10 generations by the donating lab.

Molecular Note | A loxP site was introduced to intron 3 and a FRT-PGK-Neo-pA-splice donor-FRT-loxP cassette was placed in intron 4. Flpe mediated recombination removed the FRT-flanked neo cassette leaving loxP sites on either side of exon 4. |
Heterozygotes and homozygotes 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.
