Provider | Juanjo Berlanga |

Genetic information | PKR-deficient gene (alpha subunit of eukaryotic initiation factor 2 Kinase-eIF2alpha Kinase) with target disruption of the Catalytic Domain of the double-stranded RNA-dependent protein kinase, PKR (Exon 12-encodes subdomains V and VI). Eif2ak4_GCN2-deficient gene (GCN2 allele constitutively missing exon XII (GCN2)). Exon XII encodes a region of GCN2 that binds ATP, and its deletion eliminates kinase activity. |
Phenotypic information | Homozygous:Effect non tested for both mutations in homozygous together. Effect separately: Mice homozygous for Pkr disruption (Pkr 0/0) develop normally and are fertile with average sized litters. IFN-alpha and -beta induction of transcription is intact, and the mice show normal hematopoiesis. Pkr 0/0 mice show responses to vaccinia and influenza infection comparable to control animals or cells. Catalytic disruption of Pkr is not sufficient to ablate eIF-2alpha phosphorylation. GCN2 homozygous mutant mice exhibit a less aversive response towards imbalanced diet, therefore eIF2 kinase GCN2 has an important role in mediating aversion toward foods with an imbalanced amino acid composition. GCN2-induced eIF2 phosphorylation may promote the aversive response through its effects on translation and transcription in cells of the Anterior Piriform Cortex (APC), in other brain regions, and in other peripheral organs.Heterozygous:Effect non tested for both mutation in heterozygous together. Effect separately:Mice heterozygous for Pkr disruption (Pkr P/0) develop normally and are fertile with average sized litters. IFN-alpha and -beta induction of transcription is intact, and the mice show normal hematopoiesis. Pkr 0/0 mice show responses to vaccinia and influenza infection comparable to control animals or cells. Catalytic disruption of Pkr is not sufficient to ablate eIF-2alpha phosphorylation. GCN2 heterozygous mutant mice, exhibit a wild-type aversive response toward foods with an imbalanced amino acid composition. |
