Strain developmentDeveloped by Haruhiko Koseki, RIKEN Center for Integrative Medical Sciences. M1 ES cell were used to generate the mutant mice.
Strain descriptionUhrf1 gene floxed mice. Gene targeting for the Np95 (also known as Uhrf1, ICBP90) allele was done by flanking exons 4 and 5 with Cre-loxP sequences. Conditional deletion of Np95 (exons 4,5) can be achieved by crossing the mice with specific cre deleters such as CreERT2. The Np95 protein is an epigenetic reader and writer molecule, involved in maintenance DNA methylation (Sharif et al., 2007), recognition of H3K9 di/tri methylation (Rothbart et al., 2012) and ubiquitination of histone H3 (Nishiyama et al., 2013). The constitutive null (Np95-KO) mice are embryonically lethal post 9.5 dpc. Ablation of Np95 causes genomewide loss of DNA methylation marks (Sharif et al., 2007). This conditional allele would be useful to study the roles of Np95 in DNA methylation and regulation of other epigenetic modifications such as H3K9 methylation and H3 ubiquitination, by combining with tissue specific Cre deleters
