Genetic Alterations
RosaBxb-GT mice are a resource for the rapid creation of vector-free targeted alleles in the Gt(ROSA)26Sor locus on the NOD/ShiLtJ background. The single Bxb1 integrase attP-site "safe harbor landing pad" in the first intron of Gt(ROSA)26Sor enables efficient and precise integration of a donor DNA sequence directly in zygotes by recombinase-mediated knock-in (RMKI) using vector-free minicircle donor DNA carrying the transgene of interest and the cognate attB-GT attachment site.

Phenotype
This "safe harbor landing pad" allele on the NOD/ShiLtJ background provides a tool for precise, site-specific insertion of single-copy sequence into the Gt(ROSA)26Sor intron 1 in a manner that is in the desired orientation and free from vector sequence. In practice, a plasmid containing a single cognate 38 bp attB-GT site and the donor sequence is first converted into a vector-less DNA minicircle donor. The DNA minicircle is delivered along with the Bxb1 integrase (mRNA or protein) into the pronucleus of fertilized oocytes containing the 48 bp attP-GT landing pad attachment site. The result is a unidirectional, single-copy integration of the sequence into the Gt(ROSA)26Sor locus. The inserted sequence will be flanked by the recombined attachments sites, now called Bxb1 attL and Bxb1 attR, but will be: (1) free from residual vector sequence from the plasmid backbone, (2) present as a single-copy (no concatemers), and (3) inserted precisely into a known and verifiable locus (Gt(ROSA)26Sor). [Low et al., 2022] The donating investigator indicates that 5% of integrations result in aberrant integration events. In addition, RMKI strategy is successful with inserts up to approximately 15 kb.

Both heterozygous and homozygous mice are viable and fertile with normal breeding, and no reported gross phenotypic or behavioral abnormalities compared to those expected for the genetic background (e.g., these mice are expected to develop spontaneous diabetes in similar fashion as NOD/ShiLtJ inbred mice).

Strain Development
The RosaBxb-GT allele was generated in the laboratory of Dr. Michael V. Wiles (The Jackson Laboratory) using CRISPR/Cas9 endonuclease-mediated genome editing/oligo-mediated homology directed repair. An 18-mer TRU-guide RNA was selected to target near the XbaI site of intron 1 in the Gt(ROSA)26Sor locus on Chromosome 6. A 200 nt ssDNA donor (with 76 nt homology arms flanking the 48 bp Bxb1 attP-GT attachment site), the TRU-guide and Cas9 protein were introduced into NOD/ShiLtJ zygotes by electroporation. Progeny were screened by PCR amplification and DNA sequencing to identify correctly targeted pups. Founder mice were then back-crossed at least once to NOD/ShiLtJ mice for germline transmission and allele verification before intercrossing to generate homozygotes.

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 csmmrrc@jax.org. Older strains may not have this information.

Order Request Information

Limited quantities of breeder mice (recovered litter) are available from a cryoarchive; recovered litter usually available to ship in 3 to 4 months.

Cryopreserved material may be available upon request, please inquire to csmmrrc@jax.org for more information.

Distribution of this strain requires submission of the MMRRC Conditions of Use (COU). A link to the COU web form will be provided via email after an order has been placed; the form should be completed then or the email forwarded to your institutional official for completion.

A Commercial License Agreement from the Donor is required for for-profit entities to use this strain.

Additional charges may apply for any special requests. Shipping costs are in addition to the basic distribution/resuscitation fees. Information on shipping costs and any additional charges will be provided by the supplying MMRRC facility.

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. (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.
