Genetic Alterations
A 1.9 kb portion of the Id2 gene, including 560 bp 5’ upstream of the transcription start site (containing a significant proportion of the promoter region) and exons 1 and 2, was replaced by a 1.8 kb neomycin resistance cassette (Neo). This strain may be useful for studying ID2 as a regulator of circadian rhythm and metabolic homeostasis.
Genotype Determination
ES Cell Line
JM-1
Phenotype
ID2 (inhibitor of DNA binding 2) is a transcriptional regulator containing a helix-loop-helix domain. ID genes are involved in multiple systems including circadian rhythm biology, glucose and lipid metabolism, immune cell function, organ development and tumorigenesis. The Id2 knockout allele has a PGK-neo cassette replacing exons 1-2 of the gene. Mice homozygous for this null allele exhibit multiple alterations in the circadian system including: disrupted circadian rhythms (25% of mice), rapid entrainment following alterations in photoschedule and an increase in light-induced phase shifts. Some mice demonstrate circling behavior and jumpiness, although overall locomotor activity is reduced. Males exhibit increased glucose tolerance, increased glucose uptake in skeletal muscle and improved insulin sensitivity. Males are smaller than littermates, and lean, although they consume more food than females. Females are also smaller, but the difference is less pronounced. Adipogenesis is impaired, resulting in reduced fat deposits and lipid storage in white adipose tissue and liver, respectively. The donating investigator reports that on the C57BL/6 background few homozygotes survive (less than 1%). The strain is maintained on a mixed 129X1, C57BL/6, FVB/N background, on this background homozygous survivorship is increased to 10%. Survivorship is increased under germ-free conditions, suggesting that mice are immunocompromised. This strain may be useful for studying ID2 as a regulator of circadian rhythm and metabolic homeostasis.

Strain Development
A targeting vector containing the neomycin resistance cassette was used to replace a region 560 bp 5’ upstream of the transcription start site and exons 1 and 2 using homologous recombination. Exons 1-2 encode the entire coding domain. The construct was electroporated into 129X1/SvJ-derived JM-1 embryonic stem (ES) cells. Correctly targeted ES cells were injected into blastocysts. The resulting chimeric animals were crossed to C57BL/6 mice and then crossed to FVB/N mice. The donating investigator maintains the strain on a mixed 129X1/C57BL/6/FVB background. Upon arrival at The Jackson Laboratory, mice were bred to FVB/NJ for at least 1 generation to establish the colony.

1 The distribution fee covers the expense of rederiving mice from a live mouse; you will receive the resulting litter. The litter will contain at minimum one mutant carrier; the actual number of animals and the gender and genotype ratios will vary. (Typically, multiple breeder pairs can be established from the recovered litter.) Prior to shipment, the MMRRC will provide information about the animals recovered. If you anticipate or find that you need to request specific genotypes, genders or quantities of mice in excess of what is likely from a resuscitated litter, you may discuss available options and pricing with the supplying MMRRC facility.

2 An aliquot contains a sufficient number of embryos (in one or more vials or straws and based on the transfer success rate of the MMRRC facility) to transfer into one to three recipients. The MMRRC makes no guarantee concerning embryo transfer success experienced in the recipient investigator's laboratory. Neither gender nor genotype ratios are guaranteed.

3 An aliquot is one straw or vial with sufficient sperm to recover at least one litter of mice, as per provided protocols, when performed at the MMRRC facility. The MMRRC makes no guarantee concerning the success of these procedures when performed outside the MMRRC facilities.

4 The distribution fee covers the expense of resuscitating mice from the cryo-archive; you will receive the resulting litter. The litter will contain at minimum one mutant carrier; the actual number of animals and the gender and genotype ratios will vary.
