STOCK Notch1tm5(cre/ERT2)Rko/J

Cat. No.: CEMM-07250633

Common Name: N1IP::CreERT2
The tamoxifen-inducible Notch1 activation-dependent reporter knock-in allele, N1IP::CreERT2, has the endogenous Notch1 intracellular domain (NICD1) replaced with a 6xMyc-tagged, tamoxifen-inducible Cre recombinase (6mtCreERT2). Similar to the N1IP::CreLO allele, this N1IP::CreERT2 allele is predominantly expressed in cells in which moderate-to-high levels of sustained Notch activity or repeated activation cycles are known to occur (e.g., endothelium), with the added benefit that Cre recombinase activity is tamoxifen-inducible.

Molecular Note
The targeting construct was designed to replace exons 29-34 (encoding the intracellular domain) with a CreERT2 sequence and nuclear localization signal, followed immediately downstream by a C-terminal 6xMyc epitope tag, 2xSV40 polyadenylation sequence, and FRT flanked Pgk1/EM7 promoter-driven neomycin selection cassette. The CreER fusion gene (Cre-ERT2) is Cre recombinase fused to a G400V/M543A/L544A triple mutation of the human estrogen receptor ligand binding domain.

Breeding Considerations
When maintaining a live colony, heterozygous mice are bred to wildtype mice from the colony. Homozygotes die in utero.
