| molecularNote | The Ple157-Cre/EGFP plasmid (pEMS1064) was created by inserting the Ple157 MiniPromoter (derived from specific promoter/enhancer/regulatory regions of the human Purkinje cell protein 2 (PCP2) gene) into the multiple cloning site of the pEMS1040 plasmid vector backbone. This placed the Ple157 MiniPromoter upstream of a minimal wildtype frt site, a Cre/EGFP fusion gene (Cre recombinase gene and enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP; with mutated TAA->TTA stop)), a nuclear localization signal, an SV40 early mRNA polyA signal, a modified minimal frt site (A deletion), a human HPRT complementary sequence (containing exon 1, intron 1, exon 2, and part of intron 2), a mouse 3' Hprt homology arm, an I-Sce linearization cut site, and a mouse 5' Hprt homology arm. This Ple157-Cre/EGFP construct was targeted as a single copy knock-in to the Hprtb-m3 mutant locus on the X Chromosome via electroporation into E14TG2a embryonic stem cells: a male ES cell line harboring the Hprtb-m3 mutation on the X Chromosome. The resulting ES cells, correctly targeted with the Ple157-Cre/EGFP transgene inserted into the Hprt locus, were assigned Hprttm205(Ple157-cre/EGFP)Ems. |
