Genetic Alterations

To generate the site B mutation (G324D) in the Prkar1a gene (Gene ID19084), a 6.6 kb genomic EcoRI fragment containing exons 9, 10, and 11 of the locus was isolated as previously described (PMID12119269). The genomic fragment was subcloned into a pUC18 vector and site-directed mutagenesis (QuikChange, Stratagene) was performed to introduce a single G to A mutation in exon 11 using the oligonucleotide sequences 5

Note: The original publication (PMID2546952) reported the substitution as "G324D" in consideration of the starting methionine being cleaved off. The adjusted genetic variant information is as follows:

Genotype Determination
ES Cell Line
REK3 derived from 129X1/SvJ
Phenotype
Homozygous: The RIaB allele has a neomycin cassette inserted between exon 10 and the final exon 11 of the Prkar1a gene and this prevents expression. Homozygotes are embryonic lethal, as mice that lack both alleles of the Prkar1a gene die in utero due to a failure in heart development (Amieux et al. (2002) JBC 277:27294-27304).

Heterozygous: Male mice heterozygous for the RIaB allele are subfertile on a pure C57BL/6 background (Burton et al.(2006) Mol Endo. 20(10):2504-2513) and thus female RIaB heterozygous mice are always maintained for breeding. Heterozygotes also have a high incidence of tumor formation as they age (Veugelers et al,(2004) PNAS 101:14222).

Colony and Husbandry Information

As the males on the C57BL/6 background are subfertile, female heterozygous RIaB mice on the C57BL/6 background are backcrossed to wildtype C57BL/6 males to maintain the colony.

Colony Surveillance Program and Current Health 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 mmrrc@ucdavis.edu.
Bred to Homozygosity
No

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 mmrrc@ucdavis.edu 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.

Units Notes
032879-UCD-RESUS Litter recovered from cryo-archive $5,055.00 / Non-Profit Litter Recovered litter4; additional fees for any special requests.
Cryopreserved material may be available upon request, please inquire to mmrrc@ucdavis.edu for more information.

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.
