Anorexia anx/anx mutant mice
Anorexia anx/anx mice Jackson Lab strain 000624.
Mutation mapped to a 0.2 cM interval residing between the markers D2Mit133 and Jojo5 chromosome 2 (Chr 2: bp 118, 889, 896–120, 175, 1081) (Lindfors et al., 2011).
Possible genes affected
Lindfors 2011 PMID 22025706: NADH dehydrogenase (ubiquinone) 1a-subcomplex (Ndufaf1)
Kim 2017 PMID 28093506: tyrosine kinase receptor Tyro3 which they conclude is not the anx-mutation but a strain specific modifier of anx-phenotypes
Abnormalities Table
Tyro3 Genotyping
TYRO3 protein tyrosine kinase 3 (Tyro3) mutation (C19T-Tyro3 mutation) in anx/anx eliminates a NlaIV restriction site.
- primers forward 5′-GATGGCGCTGAGGCGGAGCATG and reverse 5′-CGCGGCCGGAGGTCTGGCAG ; annealing temperature 72C
- predicted PCR product size: 280bp equal to Mus musculus strain C57BL/6J chromosome 2, GRCm39, where forward primer is 119630270-119630291 and reverse primer is 119630549-119630530
- subsequent digestion with NlaIV
- wildtype -> 175 bp fragment, anx/anx -> 250 bp product (eyeballing from Kim 2017)
Genotyping 1998 mice
- 2024-1-17 Tyro3 primers ordered from FSU BIO Core
- 2024-1-18 NlaIV ordered from NEBiolabs, along with 50bp ladder
- 2024-6-6 Promega GoTaq colorless master mix ordered from Fisher (suspect green master mix interferes with digest)
DNA extraction from tails/spleens
E.Z.N.A. Tissue DNA Kit yields 200 ul in elution buffer.
PCR
PCR master-mix: Promega Gotaq colorless master mix.
For 50 ul reaction:
PCR: 95C for 1min, then 30 cycles of: 95C for 1min, 72C for 2min. (note annealing and extension steps combined into 2 min at 72C).
PCR clean-up
E.Z.N.A. Cycle Pure Kit (V-spin) yields 30 ul in dH20
Digestion
Gel
1% agarose in TAE (1 g agarose in 100 ml TAE, microwave 2 min at 50 power; add 10 ul of SYBR safe 10000x)
load 10 ul of 50bp ladder, 10-20 ul of pre-digest and digest
