B6.Cg-Igs7tm214(CAG-ACR1*, CAG-mRuby3)Tasic/J

Cat. No.: CEMM-07251108

Common Name: TICL-stGtACR1-HA-ICL-mRuby3
Ai214 (also called Ai214 (TICL-stGtACR1-HA-ICL-mRuby3)) is a Cre-dependent optogenetic and fluorescent tool allele designed with a CAG promoter, loxP-STOP-loxP and stGtACR1 coding sequence followed by a CAG promoter, lox2272-STOP-lox2272 and mRuby3 coding sequence - all inserted into the Igs7 locus (TIGRE). Exposure to Cre recombinase results in expression of stGtACR1 (soma-targeted variant of the red-shifted, light-gated anion channelrhodopsin GtACR1; neuronal silencing) and/or mRuby3 fluorescence.

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 attB 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 CMV-IE enhancer/chicken beta-actin/rabbit beta-globin hybrid promoter (CAG; from pCAGGS), a loxP-flanked STOP cassette (stop codons in all three reading frames linked to synthetic pA-hGHpA-PGKpA), the coding sequence of stGtACR1 (GtACR1 with targeting sequence TS and Kv2.1 and HA tag sequence), a BGH polyA, two copies of chicken beta-globin HS4 insulator element, the CAG promoter, a lox2272-flanked STOP cassette (stop codons in all three reading frames linked to synthetic pA-hGHpA-TKpA), the coding sequence of mRuby3, a BGH polyA, a PhiC31 attB site, a PGK-5'hygro cassette, an RNA splice donor, a Bxb1 attR site, SA, 3'hygro, SV40pA, and PhiC31 attP. GtACR1 is a light-gated anion channel encoded by the Guillardia theta ACR1 gene.

Breeding Considerations
Heterozygous mice are viable and fertile with no reported gross physical or behavioral abnormalities. it has not been attempted 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.
