Mice harboring random gene-trap insertions of a lacZ (-galactosidase)-neomycin resistance fusion cassette (-geo) were analyzed for expression in the hippocampus. In 4 of 15 lines reporter gene activity was observed in the hippocampal formation. In the obn line, enzyme activity was detected in the

A novel strategy to identify maternal and paternal inheritance in the mouse
A novel strategy for identifying proteins which reveal maternal or paternal inheritance in the mouse is presented. Using two-dimensional electrophoresis we investigated protein expression patterns of adult liver and different embryonic and extraembryonic tissue in C57BL16Crl and in DBA/2Crl mice, as well as in their reciprocal hybrids. We found three groups of protein spots which showed maternal or paternal inheritance of quantitative variations. These proteins were characterized by N-terminal or internal amino acid sequencing, by determination of the amino acid composition, by glycoprotein staining and RNA expression analysis. The three proteins identified were: a-enolase, cyclophilin and (3-group hemoglobins. The parental effects observed for a-enolase and cyclophilin were found to be due to parent-specific posttranslational modifications of these proteins. For the fi-group hemoglobins our results suggested parental effects on the transcriptional level.
