Mouse Mcfd2 Conditional Knockout Project (CRISPR/Cas9)
Objective: To create a Mcfd2 conditional knockout Mouse model (C57BL/6J) by CRISPR/Cas-mediated genome engineering.
Strategy summary: The Mcfd2 gene (NCBI Reference Sequence: NM_139295 ; Ensembl: ENSMUSG00000024150 ) is located on Mouse chromosome 17. 4 exons are identified, with the ATG start codon in exon 2 and the TAG stop codon in exon 4 (Transcript: ENSMUST00000024963). Exon 3 will be selected as conditional knockout region (cKO region). Deletion of this region should result in the loss of function of the Mouse Mcfd2 gene. To engineer the targeting vector, homologous arms and cKO region will be generated by PCR using BAC clone RP24-100H2 as template. Cas9, gRNA and targeting vector will be co-injected into fertilized eggs for cKO Mouse production. The pups will be genotyped by PCR followed by sequencing analysis. Note: Mice homozygous for a null allele exhibit decreased serum factor V and VIII and aspartate transaminase serum levels with accumulation of the proteins in the ER of hepatocytes.
Exon 3 starts from about 33.79% of the coding region. The knockout of Exon 3 will result in frameshift of the gene. The size of intron 2 for 5'-loxP site insertion: 621 bp, and the size of intron 3 for 3'-loxP site insertion: 1089 bp. The size of effective cKO region: ~714 bp. The cKO region does not have any other known gene.

Note: The sequence of homologous arms and cKO region is analyzed to determine the GC content. Significant high GC-content regions are found. It may be difficult to construct this targeting vector.
