Ple160-lacZ Description:

This Ple160 promoter construct is derived from the promoter region of the Pituitary homeobox 3 (PITX3) gene. The Pleiades Promoter Project created a 2534 bp MiniPromoter derived from a segment of the promoter and introduced it into the multiple cloning site (MCS) of Pleiades expression vector pEMS1313 (LacZ reporter flanked by full frt sites (WT and F5 mutant)) to make plasmid pEMS1631 with Ple160 driving lacZ. The Ple160-lacZ (pEMS1631) was introduced by homologous recombination as single copy insertion into the Hprt1b-m3 locus in the X Chromosome of mouse embryonic stem cells (ESCs) mEMS1202. The resulting PCR validated four ESC lines, mEMS4135, mEMS4160, mEMS4140, and mEMS4169. Chimeras were generated using mEMS4135.

Note: Promoterless negative controls (pEMS1302, pEMS1306, pEMS1313) have been generated, as well as CAG positive controls (pEMS1157, pEMS1277 & pEMS1488).
