B6.Cg-Igs7tm92.1(tetO-ECFP*/Venus*)Hze/J

Cat. No.: CEMM-07250594

Common Name: Ai92(TITL-YCX2.60)-D; Ai92D
Ai92(TITL-YCX2.60)-D (also called Ai92D) mice are a Cre/Tet-dependent, fluorescent calcium indicator line, created by targeted insertion of floxed-STOP-YCX2.60 at the Igs7 locus (TIGRE; an intergenic region on mouse chromosome 9 that allows reporter expression to be tightly regulated). After removal of the floxed-STOP cassettes by Cre recombinase, they may be used to generate Tet-Off/Tet-On mutant animals with conditional (inducible/reversible) expression of a FRET-based Ca2+ sensor with expanded dynamic range (YCX2.60). Following subsequent calcium binding (such as neuronal activation), robust yellow fluorescence and diminished cyan fluorescence is observed.

Molecular Note
The vector was designed with (from 5' to 3') an FRT3 site, two copies of chicken beta-globin HS4 insulator element, a modified Tet response element promoter, a floxed-STOP cassette, the YCX2.60 coding sequence [an enhanced cyan fluorescent protein with C-terminal 11 amino acids deleted (ECFPDeltaC11 with R27K and K213N mutations, a rat calmodulin DNA fragment (CaM; aa 5-148 with N60D and D78Y mutations [to inCrease the fluorescence change for small calcium transients] and E127V mutation), a GG linker, a chicken smooth muscle M13 fragment of myosin light chain kinase (with I-to-S mutation in the 20th aa of the sequence), and a circularly permutated Venus enhanced yellow fluorescent protein (cp173 Venus; aa 174-239, a 15 bp linker and aa 1-173)], a WPRE sequence, a BGH polyA, two copies of chicken beta-globin HS4 insulator element, an AttB site, a PGK-5'hygro cassette, an RNA splice donor and a FRT5 site. The fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET)-based calcium sensor Yellow Cameleon variant X 2.60 (YCX2.60) is an improved version of YC2.60 with expanded dynamic range and 2-3-fold greater dissociation constant. The fusion gene is an enhanced cyan fluorescent protein with C-terminal 11 amino acids deleted, a rat calmodulin DNA fragment (CaM; aa 5-148 with N60D and D78Y mutations [to inCrease the fluorescence change for small calcium transients] and E127V mutation), a GG linker, a chicken smooth muscle M13 fragment of myosin light chain kinase (with I-to-S mutation in the 20th aa of the sequence), and a circularly permutated Venus enhanced yellow fluorescent protein (cp173 Venus; aa 174-239, a 15 bp linker and aa 1-173). PhiC31-mediated recombination removed the AttB/AttP-flanked PGK-hygromycin-SV40polyA cassette and replaced it with the recombined AttB/AttP site (AttL).

Breeding Considerations
When maintaining a live colony, heterozygous mice may be bred to wildtype mice from the colony or to C57BL/6J inbred mice. The donating investigator has not attempted to generate homozygous mice to date.
