Transcription profiling by array of wild type and Pcsk5 Vcc mutant mouse embryos

ABSTRACT: We have identified an ENU-induced recessive mouse mutation (Vcc) with a pleiotropic phenotype overlapping including cardiac, tracheo-esophageal, anorectal, axial skeletal antero-posterior patterning defects, limb malformations, presacral mass, renal and palatal agenesis, and pulmonary hypoplasia. It results from a C470R mutation in the proprotein convertase PCSK5 (PC5/6, SPC6) that fails to complement a null allele, which also has a similar phenotype. The mutation ablates a predicted disulfide bond in the P domain, and results in reduced secretion, abnormal cellular localisation, and loss of proprotein convertase activity. We analysed whole genome gene expression in a mouse line carrying ENU-generated point mutation in Pcsk5 gene on a mixed background : 25% C57BL6/J on C3H/HeH (mutation o
