EXPERIMENTAL MODELS

Contributor Information
- Name Nic Jones
- Institute Cancer Research UK, Manchester Institute
Tool Details
- Tool name: ATF2 Mouse
- Tool type: Experimental models
- Tool sub-type: Mouse
- Conditional: No
- Genetic background and cross history: Atf2 genomic sequences were isolated by screening a 129/ola mouse cosmid library (RZPD), cloned into pPGKneobpAlox2PGKDTA, transfected into 129/ola embryonic stem cells. Transgenic animals were produced by blastocyst injection and offspring mice were backcrossed at least six times with C57 Bl/6 mice to produce isogenic lines.
- Phenotype: Homozygous postnatal lethality, heterozygous normal phenotype
- Zygosity: Heterozygous
- Description: Alanine substitutions of phosphor acceptor sites T51, T53 (equivalent to human T69, T71). Transcription factor (BZIP-type, AP1-family)
- Research area: Cell Cycle ; Cell Signaling & Signal Transduction ; Developmental Biology ; Epigenetics & Nuclear Signalling ; Genetic studies ; Immunology
