B6.Cg-Igs7tm211(tetO-ChrimsonR/tdTomato, CAG-tTA2)Tasic/J

Cat. No.: CEMM-07251107

Common Name: TITL-ChrimsonR-tdT-Kv2.1-ICF-IRES-tTA2
Ai211 (also called Ai211(TITL-ChrimsonR-tdT-Kv2.1-ICF-IRES-tTA2)) is a dual-recombinase responsive (cre/flp-dependent), Tet-controllable, fluorescent and optogenetic tool allele created by targeted insertion at the Igs7 locus (TIGRE). Exposure to both Cre and Flp recombinase results in expression of tTA2 and ChrR-tdT (a light-gated cation channel; neuronal activation) in those cells where cre and flp expression overlaps/intersects. ChrR-tdT expression may be expected to be diminished/eliminated by doxycycline.

Molecular Note
The targeting vector contains (from 5' to 3') a Bxb1 attL site, a partial green fluorescent protein sequence (non-functional 500bp fragment to inCrease the space between the Bxb1 attL site and the insulator sequence to improve stability of the targeting vector), two copies of chicken beta-globin HS4 insulator element (to reduce reporter gene expression in absence of transactivators), a Tet response element/promoter (tetO), a loxP-flanked STOP cassette (stop codons in all three reading frames linked to synthetic pA-hGHpA-PGKpA), ChrimsonR-tdTomato (ChrR-tdT) sequence with a Kv2.1 sequence at the 3' end followed by a 6xHis tag, T7 tag and XPress tag sequence, a woodchuck hepatitis virus post-transcriptional regulatory element (WPRE; to enhance the mRNA transcript stability), a BGH polyA, two copies of chicken beta-globin HS4 insulator element, a CMV-IE enhancer/chicken beta-actin/rabbit beta-globin hybrid promoter (CAG; from pCAGGS), a FRT flanked STOP cassette (stop codons in all three reading frames linked to synthetic pA-hGHpA-TKpA), an internal ribosome entry site (IRES) sequence, a synthetic modified tetracycline-regulated transactivator gene (tTA2(S)), a WPRE, a BGH polyA, a PhiC31 attB site, a PGK-5'hygro cassette, an mRNA splice donor, a Bxb1 attR site, SA, 3' hygro-SV40pA, and PhiC31 attP. ChrR-tdT is the result of a ChrimsonR coupled to the fluorescent reporter tdTomato. ChrimsonR (ChrR) is a light-gated cation channel is optimally excited by light of approximately 590nm wavelength (aka, red-shifted). ChrimsonR is an artificial channelrhodopsin derived by introducing the K176R mutation into the alga-derived channelrhodopsin Chrimson.

Breeding Considerations
Heterozygous mice are viable and fertile with no reported gross physical or behavioral abnormalities. no attempts have been made to make this strain homozygous. When maintaining a live colony, heterozygous mice may be bred together, to wildtype mice from the colony or to C57BL/6J inbred mice.
