The 5' SIN3 interaction domain (SID1) of Ncor1 is replaced with a neomycin resistance gene in this targeted knockout allele. Homozygous embryos die between E13.5 and E15.5 and exhibit defects in developmental progression of specific erythrocyte, thymocyte, and neural events.

Ncor1 (nuclear receptor co-repressor 1; N-CoR) is a regulator of erythrocyte, thymocyte and neural development processes.
A 3 kb genomic sequence encoding the 5' SIN3 interaction domain (SID1) in Ncor1 is replaced with a neomycin resistance gene in this targeted knockout allele. Protein expression is not detectable in mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) derived from homozygotes. Homozygous embryos die between E13.5 and E15.5 and exhibit defects in developmental progression of specific erythrocyte, thymocyte, and neural events. Homozygotes demonstrate a red blood cell development deficiency, T cell development deficiency, and a neuronal deficiency.
At E13.5, homozygous embryos are markedly pale, anemic, and on average 80% smaller than wildtype or heterozgyous littermates. Hematocrit levels are severely reduced. Peripheral blood smears from these mice show fewer non-nucleated erythroctyes, but many more nucleated erythroblasts than wildtype controls.
At E14.5, the thymus is markedly smaller in homozygous embryos. The total number of live thymocytes is reduced approximately 8-fold in cultured thymii, and an increased rate of cell death is observed. T cell development is arrested at the double-negative stage, with only 3% of thymocytes expressing both CD4 and CD8.
The relative size of the developing thalamus is reduced in homozygous embryos by E12.5, becoming increasingly more pronounced by E15. Nissl-staining of coronal brain sections reveals that specific thalamic nuclei, such as the lateral geniculate nucleus, are markedly smaller in homozygous embryos. No evidence of apoptosis is detected. Data suggests that this gene is a principal regulator of neural stem cells, and controls differentiation of neural stem cells into astrocytes.
A 3 kb genomic sequence including amino acids 282-308 in the 5' SIN3 interaction domain (SID1) was replaced with a PGK-neomycin cassette, inducing a frameshift via homologous recombination in (129X1/SvJ x 129S1/Sv)F1- Kitl+-derived R1 embryonic stem (ES) cells. Resultant chimeric mice were crossed primarily with C57BL/6NCrl mice (some crosses with C57BL/6J) for at least 10-15 generations.

Molecular Note | A neomycin selection cassette replaced a 3 kb genomic fragment containing the coding sequences for the Sin3 interaction domain. Western blot analysis on lysates derived from MEFs of homozygous mice demonstrated that no detectable protein was produced from this allele. |
Heterozygotes are viable and fertile. Homozygotes are embryonic lethal at E13.5-E15.5.

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.
