Fig 1. Generation of targeted mutations in the CNP-encoding gene Nppc by ZFN.
(A) Schematic representation of the CNP protein and the target site within it (arrow). The empty (white) portion represents the signal peptide (23 a.a.), the filled (black) portion represents the NT-proCNP (50 a.a.), and the gray portion indicates the mature CNP with either 53 or 22 a.a. (B) Schematic representation of the target site in the rat Nppc (NC_005108.4) locus. (C) Schematic representation of the locations of PCR primers for genotyping.
