-
The targeting vector has been generated using C57BL/6J DNA and transfected into TaconicArtemis C57BL/6NTac ES cell line.
-
Exon 2 contains the translation initiation codon.
-
Exons 4 to 7 have been flanked by loxP sites (size of loxP-flanked region: 2.9 kb).
-
The constitutive KO allele has been generated after Cre-mediated recombination by crossing chimeras to a Cre-Deleter on a C57BL/6 background.
-
The constitutive KO line has been derived using C57BL/6NTac animals and the Cre-transgene was removed by segregation.
-
Deletion of exons 4 to 7 should result in loss of function of the Lpin3 gene by deleting the C-terminal part of the Lipin domain and the potential nuclear localization signal and by generating a frameshift from exon 3 to exons 8-11 (premature Stop codon in exon 8).
-
The remaining recombination sites are located in non-conserved regions of the genome.
-
According to NCBI and Ensembl databases, there are two genes in the neighborhood of the Lpin3 gene:
- The Zhx3 gene (Entrez ID: 320799; ENSMUSG00000035877) is located approx. 22 kb upstream of Lpin3 exon 4 in a head-to-head orientation.
- The Emilin3 gene (Entrez ID: 280635; ENSMUSG00000050700) is located approx. 9 kb downstream of Lpin3 exon 7 in a tail-to-tail orientation.
-
The corresponding conditional KO allele is available as line 10584.
