Primary Identifier | MGI:6393578 | Allele Type | Targeted |
Attribute String | Conditional ready, Humanized sequence | Gene | Ezh2 |
Transmission | Germline | Strain of Origin | C57BL/6 x 129 |
Is Recombinase | false | Is Wild Type | false |
molecularNote | A minigene containing a loxP site, exons 16-20, a STOP transcriptional/translational termination sequence, FRT-flanked neomycin resistance gene, a second loxP site, a mutated exon 16 containing a tyrosine to phenylalanine substitution at amino acid 641 (p.Y641F) in exon 16, and exons 17-20 replaced exons 16-20. Flp-mediated recombination removed the neomycin selection cassette. This allele expresses the wild-type transcript due to the STOP sequence. The Y641F allele is equivalent to the most common EZH2 missense allele, Y646F, in human cancers. Cre-mediated recombination can be used to remove the STOP sequence and express the mutation. |
