  • Tool sub type: Mouse
  • Model: Conditional KO
  • Conditional: Yes
  • Conditional description: Requires expression of Cre recombinase to mediate excision of the lox P sites generating non-functional Fbxw7 and foxM1 proteins
  • Description: FoxM1 is plays a key role in the cell cycle as endogenous expression peaks at the S and G2/M phases, crucial for mitotic division. Recent studies have shown that FOXM1 regulates expression of a large array of G2/M-specific genes which play a crucial role in maintenance of genomic stability and chromosomal segregation. There are 3 known isoforms of FoxM1, A, B & C and it is a known human proto-oncogene, involved in basal cell carcinoma. Fbxw7 is a member of the F-box protein family, characterised by a motif of approximately 40 amino acids called the F-box. These proteins constitute one of the four subunits of ubiquitin protein ligase complex called SKP1-cullin-F-box and function in phosphorylation-dependent ubiquitination. Fbxw7 specifically protein contains 7 tandem solenoid protein domains also know as WD40 repeats. Fbwx7 binds directly to cyclin E and probably targets it for ubiquitin-mediated degradation.
  • Genetic background: This model was created by interbreeding the floxed-Fbxw7 mouse with a floxed-FoxM1 mouse (for floxed-FoxM1 mouse see references).
  • Zygosity: Homozygous
  • Strain: C57BL/6
  • Production details: This model was created by interbreeding the floxed-Fbxw7 mouse with a floxed-FoxM1 mouse (for floxed-FoxM1 mouse see references).
