Strain Information

Park7tm1Cai
Name: Parkinson disease (autosomal recessive, early onset) 7; targeted mutation 1, Hubaibin Cai
Type: Allele
Species: Mus musculus (mouse)
Chromosome: 4
Alteration at locus: Knockout
Park7
Name: Parkinson disease (autosomal recessive, early onset) 7
Synonyms: DJ-1
Type: Gene
Species: Mouse
Chromosome: 4
Alteration at locus: Knockout
NCBI: 57320
Homologene: 38295
Genetic Alterations
Targeted deletion of mouse DJ-1 was accomplished by replacing exon 2 with a neomycin resistance gene cassette.
Genotype Determination
ES Cell Line
Not specified
Phenotype
Homozygous phenotype: Mice that are homozygous for the targeted mutation exhibit non-progressive hypokinesia at 5 months of age and progressive gait abnormalities (stride uniformity, hind base displacement) beginning at two months of age. Mice over a year old develop decreased grip strength, loss of body weight and severe gait bnormalities. Although early onset progressive motor deficits occur in these mice, no pathological changes are observed in the nigrostriatal system, spinal motor system or muscles. This mutant mouse strain may be useful in studies of Parkinson's disease.

Heterozygous phenotype: DJ- 1+/- mice show no obvious phenotypes compared to wild-type littermates.

Strain Development
A targeting vector containing a neomycin resistance cassette was used to disrupt exon 2. The construct was electroporated into 129X1/SvJ derived embryonic stem (ES) cells. Correctly targeted ES cells were injected into blastocysts. The resulting chimeric animals were crossed to C57BL/6J mice and maintained by intercross. Upon arrival, mice were bred to C57BL/6J for at least 1 generation to establish the colony.

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.

While maintaining a live colony, these mice are bred as homozygotes

Cryo-recovered strains distributed by the MMRRC at JAX are shipped to the customer from the Pathogen & Opportunistic-Free Animal Room G200 - see https://www.jax.org/jax-mice-and-services/customer-support/customer-service/animal-health/health-status-reports.

Mice recovered from a cryo-archive will have health surveillance performed on recipient females. Health reports will be provided prior to shipment. If you require additional health status information, please email csmmrrc@jax.org.

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.

The donor or their institution limits the distribution to non-profit institutions only.

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.
