Mice homozygous for the BAC Super p53 transgene are viable and fertile. The donating investigator reports that the BAC transgene inserted as a single copy in the genome. Therefore, homozygous mice express two extra copies of the wild-type mouse Trp53 (transformation related protein 53) gene, one on each homologous chromosome, directed by its endogenous promoter/enhancer regions on the BAC transgene. Trp53 encodes a tumor suppressor protein, which also functions as a transcription factor. It can trigger proliferation arrest and cell death in response to stresses such as DNA damage and oncogenic stress. Hemizygous and Homozygous Super p53 mice show an dose-dependant enhanced response to DNA damage and they are protected from cancer. They also age normally in comparison to other p53 over expressing mouse lines.
Bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) library was used to obtain a 130 kb BAC containing the entire mouse Trp53 (transformation related protein 53) gene. This BAC also contains other active genes such as Efnb3 (Ephrin B3). The BAC was microinjected into fertilized (C57BL/6 x CBA)F2 oocytes. Super p53 mice, carrying one copy of the BAC, were maintained by breeding transgenic mice with C57BL/6JOlaHsd inbred mice for at least 10 generations by the donating lab (see SNP note below). Upon arrival at The Jackson Laboratory, sperm was cryopreserved. To establish our live colony, an aliquot of frozen sperm was used to fertilize C57BL/6J oocytes (Stock No. 000664).
A 32 SNP (single nucleotide polymorphism) panel analysis, with 27 markers covering all 19 chromosomes and the X chromosome, as well as 5 markers that distinguish between the C57BL/6J and C57BL/6N substrains, was performed on the rederived living colony at The Jackson Laboratory Repository. Four of the 27 markers throughout the genome were segregating, suggesting an incomplete backcross.

Molecular Note | Bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) library was used to obtain a 130 kb BAC containing the entire mouse Trp53 (transformation related protein 53) gene in it's "natural genomic context". Trp53 is located at the terminal end of the segment. The other end of the BAC falls in the middle of the Dnahc2 gene. This line carries one copy of the transgene. |
When maintaining a live colony homozygous mice may be bred together.

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.
