Information from provider

ProviderMariano Barbacid
Provider affiliationMolecular Oncology, Centro Nacional de Investigaciones Oncologicas
Genetic informationIn ES cells containing Hras1tm1Xbr, in which an IRES-beta-geo cassette was integrated into the 3'-UTR of the Hras gene, a floxed hygro STOP cassette was inserted upstream of coding exon 1. In addition, a G to T substitution was created at the second base of codon 12 of exon 1. This results in an amino acid substitution of valine for glycine at position 12. Upon cre-mediated recombination, removal of the hygro STOP cassette leads to the expression of the HrasG12V mutation and the IRES-beta-geo cassette so that the lacZ reporter is expressed in those cells that express the mutated HrasG12V gene.
Phenotypic informationBefore cre-mediated recombination there is no phenotype associated to this allele. After germ-line cre-mediated excision of the floxed STOP hygro cassette, expression of the HrasG12V mutant leads to multiple abnormalities, mostly related to craniofacial, cardiovascular and mammary gland development and tumorigenesis. This is a mouse model of human Costello syndrome.
Breeding historyChimeras were crossed with CD1 females for germ line transmission analysis. Heterozygous offspring were crossed among themselves to generate homozygous mutants. Heterozygous animals were backcrossed to C57BL/6J for more than 10 generations. After cre-mediated recombination homozygous mice HrasG12V/G12V are viable and fertile.
