| abstractText | Rbm47 encodes a RNA binding protein that is necessary for Cytidine to Uridine RNA editing. Rbm47(gt/gt) mutant mice that harbor inactivated Rbm47 display poor viability. Here it was determined that the loss of Rbm47(gt/gt) offspring is due to embryonic lethality at mid-gestation. It was further showed that growth of the surviving Rbm47(gt/gt) mutants is impaired. Rbm47 is expressed in both the visceral endoderm and the definitive endoderm. Using the utility of the switchable FlEx gene-trap cassette and the activity of Cre and FLP recombinases to generate mice that conditionally inactivate and restore Rbm47 function in tissue-specific manner, it was demonstrated that Rbm47 function is required in the embryo proper, and not the visceral endoderm, for viability and growth. genesis 54:115-122, 2016.
