A 3′ UTR Modification of the Mitochondrial Rieske Iron Sulfur Protein in Mice Produces a Specific Skin Pigmentation Phenotype  Sofia Garcia, Francisca Diaz, Carlos T.

Figure 1 Coat color changes of mice with an RISP-knock-in gene. Through standard homologous recombination techniques a RISP gene containing a neo/tk selection cassette at the 3′-untranslated region of the gene was introduced into embryonic stem cells. The resulting established mouse line showed no abnormal health phenotypes, but a late onset coat color change was observed. Heterozygous brown mice would have their dorsal coat turning to black (a), whereas the ventral brown color did not change (b). Homozygous mice would show similar changes, but, at later ages, the dark color would turn gray (c and d).

Figure 2 Characterization of the RISP-knock-in gene expression. We performed northern blot analyses of the RISP in different tissues and found that, as expected, the floxed (flx) knock-in transcript was larger than the endogenous (end.) wild-type transcript due to the selection cassette at the 3′-untranslated region (a). No major quantitative differences were observed between the skin and other tissues when transcript levels were normalized to β-actin (a and b). The RISP-knock-in transcript was correctly translated, but the levels of the protein were reduced in skin samples (c). The use of no primary antibody (1st Ab) against RISP allowed us to distinguish specific bands (c). Such reduction in protein levels was not observed in other tissues (d). When normalized to an unrelated mitochondrial protein (VDAC1), the decreased levels of RISP were more evident in homozygous flx melanocytes than in homozygous flx fibroblasts (e). Core 2, another subunit of complex III, was also reduced when RISP was reduced (e). A fibroblast line with a Cre-mediated deletion of the flx alleles was used as a negative control (Δ/Δ in panel e).
