molecularNote | Nucleotide substitution(s) in exon 4 resulted in the amino acid substitution of cysteine for arginine at position 306 (R306C). This mutation abolishes the interaction with NCoR/SMRT components. Cre-mediated recombination removed the floxed neomycin resistance cassette inserted downstream of exon 4. |
