Name: kinase suppressor of ras 2; mutation 1, Bruce Beutler
Synonyms: gigante
Type: Allele
Species: Mus musculus (mouse)
Chromosome: 5
Alteration at locus: Chemically Induced
Ksr2
Name: kinase suppressor of ras 2
Type: Gene
Species: Mouse
Chromosome: 5
Alteration at locus: Chemically Induced
NCBI: 333050
Homologene: 45469
Genetic Alterations
ENU-induced T to A transversion at base pair 117,671,449 (v38) on chromosome 5, or base pair 257,680 in the GenBank genomic region NC_000071 for the Ksr2 gene. The mutation corresponds to residue 2,103 in the mRNA sequence NM_001114545 within exon 7 of 21 total exons. The mutation results in a cysteine (C) to serine (S) substitution at position 426 (C426S) in the kinase suppressor of Ras2 (KSR2) protein
Phenotype

Homozygous: Mice exhibited increased body weights compared to wild-type mice.

Heterozygous: No abnormal phenotype detected.

Strain Development
Original mutant was a C57BL/6J G3 ENU-induced mutant; all subsequent crosses to maintain strain were on C57BL/6J background only.
Suggested Control Mice
Wild-type littermates or C57BL/6J mice
MMRRC Genetic QC Summary
The MMRRC Centers have developed a genetic QC pipeline using MiniMUGA array genotyping to provide additional information on strain backgrounds for MMRRC congenic and inbred strains. For more information on when data may be available, or to request genotyping for a strain of interest, please contact . Older strains may not have this information.
