Caption Generation of the Gpx4tm4Marc allele. A, gene targeting strategy for the site-directed mutation of Sec to Ser in Gpx4. The upper line depicts the wild-type (WT) allele of Gpx4. The lower line shows the targeting vector used to generate a point mutation in the active site of Gpx4, which is encoded by exon 3 (red box) and marked by an asterisk. The neomycin phosphotransferase gene (neo) was used for positive selection of transfected ES cells. The thymidine kinase gene (TK) is located downstream of the 3' arm for homologous recombination that was utilized for negative selection (BS, pBluescript vector backbone).
