Strain Information

Ush1gjs-bkup
Name: USH1 protein network component sans; backup
Type: Allele
Species: Mus musculus (mouse)
Chromosome: 11
Alteration at locus: Spontaneous Mutation
Ush1g
Name: USH1 protein network component sans
Synonyms: Sans, js
Type: Gene
Species: Mouse
Chromosome: 11
Alteration at locus: Spontaneous Mutation
NCBI: 16470
Homologene: 56113
Genetic Alterations
The mutation was identified as the creation of a stop codon at amino acid 4 (CAG to TAG) in the Ush1g gene.test
Genotype Determination
Phenotype

Homozygous: backward walking

Heterozygous: indistinguishable from wild-type animals

Strain Development
This strain was discovered in a colony of Neil1 knock out mice, in which 2 mice were hyperactive (forward running), would only walk backward in an open-field environment, failed swim test, and were deaf at birth. Bred onto a wild-type C57BL/6 background and the defect tracks as a recessive, with no phenotype in heterozygous mice. The mutation was identified as the creation of a stop codon at amino acid 4 (CAG to TAG) in the Ush1g gene.
The strain is on a congenic C57BL/6 background; involves C57BL/6 and unspecified strains.

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 mmrrc@ucdavis.edu. 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 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.

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.
