Strain Information

Esrp1tm1.2Rpc
Name: epithelial splicing regulatory protein 1; targeted mutation 1.2, Russ P Carstens
Type: Allele
Species: Mus musculus (mouse)
Chromosome:
Alteration at locus: Knockout
Esrp1
Name: epithelial splicing regulatory protein 1
Synonyms: 2210008M09Rik, Rbm35a
Type: Gene
Species: Mouse
Chromosome: 4
NCBI: 207920
Homologene: 9785
Genetic Alterations
LoxP sites were introduced flanking exons 7, 8, and 9. Subsequently crossed to a Flp and a Cre deleter to remove the selection cassette and to induce germline deletion, producing a frameshift.
ES Cell Line
v6.5 derived from (C57BL/6 x 129S4/SvJae)F1
Phenotype
Homozygous KO animals present with cleft lip associated with cleft palate (CL/P), hypoplasia of the kidneys, and cochlear defects. When combined with Esrp2-/-, more extensive developmental defects occur, including lung agenesis, salivary gland agenesis, colonic atresia, epidermal hypoplasia, and upper limb defects.
Strain GQC Summary
Gene Specific Genotyping:

To request gene-specific and other genotyping services for a strain, please contact the distribution MMRRC Center for more information.

Background Genetic Quality:

The MMRRC has developed a Genetic Quality Control pipeline using the MiniMUGA array to provide additional information to identify and validate genetic backgrounds of MMRRC strains. For more information on whether genetic background data is available, please contact MMRRC_GeneticQC@med.unc.edu. Note: that MiniMUGA genetic background data is not available on all strains, but can be ordered if desired.

Strain Development
The targeting vector for Esrp1 features a loxP site in intron 6 upstream of exon 7, and a neomycin selection cassette flanked by FRT sites in intron 9 followed by a loxP site. Following the electroporation into V6.5 ES cells, 21 total chimeras were generated, from which males were crossed to C57BL/6J females. The conditional allele was generated by crossing of male #114, from chimera 1.9 to B6(C3)-Tg(Pgk1-FLPo)10Sykr/J females (RRID:IMSR_JAX:011065) to remove the neomycin cassette. Offspring were screened for removal of the neomycin cassette by PCR analysis. Heterozygous Esrp1flox/+ mice were crossed to generate homozygous Esrp1flox/flox conditional mice, with no apparent phenotype, and to maintain the line. The Esrp1 KO allele for ubiquitous ablation of Esrp1 was generated by crossing of male #31, from chimera 1.10 to C57BL/6-Tg(Zp3-cre)93Knw/J females (RRID:IMSR_JAX:003651). Minimally three subsequent C57BL/6J backcrosses.
