Generation of ROSA26/CAG-floxed STOP-ChRFR(C167A)-Venus BAC actuator/reporter rats. (A) The transgene construct, which was inserted into the mouse ROSA26 BAC clone, comprised the CAG promoter, a cassette for the neomycin resistance gene with four STOP signal repeats (pA) flanked by loxP sites, and a sequence containing the ChRFR-C167A open reading frame. After Cre-mediated recombination, ChRFR(C167A)-Venus expression was under the regulation of the generic CAG promoter. (B) PCR analysis of genomic DNA. The 726-bp band, which is recognized by the designed primer sets targeting the PGK-neo cassette sequence between two loxP sequences, was present in the ChRFR(C167A)-Venus reporter rats but not in the wild-type rats. A 100-bp DNA ladder was used as marker (M). A full uncropped image is available as Supplementary Figure S1A.
