  Nefl	(MGI:97313)

• Mutation details: This transgene constitutively expresses human neurofilament light (about 9.7 kb genomic fragment including the 1.7 kb endogenous 5' promoter sequence) with a G-to-A nucleotide substitution at nucleotide 3332 resulting in a glutamic acid to lysine mutation at position 397. Four lines were made, 661, 727, 728, and 730. The pound symbol (#) is used when no line is specified and/or lines are pooled. (J:173771)

Notes

From The Materials and Methods Section of J:261580: "In the original description of this mutation (Zchner et al., 2004), and in previous publications (Butinar et al., 2008, Dale et al., 2012, Shen et al., 2011, Villalon et al., 2015), this mutation was referred to as E397K. However, mouse (GenBank: AAH16436.1) and human NF-L (GenBank: CAA29097.1) protein sequence show that the mutated amino acid is E396 not E397. The mutated amino acid falls within the most highly conserved sequence, KLLEGEE. The penult glutamic acid is the mutated animo acid, which corresponds to position 396. This discrepancy in positioning has not been explained explicitly, but the field has shifted to refer to this mutation as E396K rather than E397K (Berciano et al., 2015, Elbracht et al., 2014, Pisciotta et al., 2015)."
