Alteration at locus: Chemically Induced
Zbtb16
Name: zinc finger and BTB domain containing 16
Synonyms: PLZF, Zfp145, Green's luxoid
Type: Gene
Species: Mouse
Chromosome: 9
Alteration at locus: Chemically Induced
NCBI: 235320
VEGA: 9
Homologene: 21214
Genetic Alterations
An A to G transition at nucleotide 379 of the Zbtb16 cDNA (NM_001033324). This is predicted to alter amino acid 44 from the polar and acidic amino acid glutamic acid, into the nonpolar neutral amino acid glycine (Glu44Gly).
Genotype Determination
Phenotype
Homozygous: Mice that are homozygous for the mutation are viable and fertile. Mice exhibit multiple limb patterning defects, but not the germ cell depletion phenotype observed in other Zbtb16 alleles. Hindlimb polydactyly exists in 100% of mice however, other skeletal deformities exhibit varying degrees of penetrance including hindpaw webbing (20%), metatarsal fusions (13%), failure of the tibia and fibia to fuse (47%), thickened fibulae (40%), absence of the fibula (33%), elongated 8th and 9th ribs (73%) and malformed xiphoid processes (40%). The donating investigator indicates that homozygous mice weigh approximately 17% less than controls. This mutant mouse strain may be useful in studies of skeletal development and germ cell lineage.

Heterozygous: Less than 3% of heterozygotes exhibit the hindlimb polydactyly phenotype.

Strain Development
This missense point mutation was generated by ethylnitrosourea (ENU) mutagenesis in C57BL/6J males. Mutagenized males were outcrossed to C3HeB/FeJ females. The mutation results in an A to G change at nucleotide 379 altering the corresponding amino acid from glutamic acid to glycine at position 44. This strain has been backcrossed to C3HeB/FeJ for a minimum 6 of generations. Upon arrival, mice were bred to C3HeB/FeJ 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.

Colony and Husbandry 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.

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.
