The R117Q mutation resulted in defective embryonic development.
A, FADD+/–
mice were crossed with
FADD+/–
R117Q:GFP mice. Pregnancy was timed, and embryos of various
developmental stages were isolated for stereomicroscopic analysis. Genotypes
of embryos were determined by Southern blotting (B) and PCR
(C), proteins were extracted from whole embryos, and wild type and
mutant FADD:GFP proteins expression in embryos were confirmed by Western
blotting (D). K/O, knock out.
