  Transgene expresses:
  

  Organism	Expressed Gene	Note
  cattle	ROCK2 (282041)	mutated to generate a dominant-negative form

• Mutation details: This transgene consists of a 0.9 kb DNA fragment containing the cytomegalovirus early gene promoter fused to the rabbit beta-globin second intron, a loxP flanked chloramphenicol acetyltransferase (cat) cassette connected to a polyadenylation signal, followed by a 1.4 kb DNA fragment encoding a bovine dominant-negative mutant for Rho-associated coiled-coil containing protein kinase 2, which contains two point mutations to suppress Rho-binding activity, and a second polyadenylation signal. Upon cre-mediated excision of the cat gene, the modified allele expresses the mutant ROCK2 in tissues where cre is expressed. Lines 3-1, 3-3, 4-9, 4-11, 5-18, and 5-27 were generated.
