| Research Abstract |
To establish new mouse models for deafness and identify molecular mechanism of hearing impairment, we carried out positional cloning approach, expression analysis of the inner ear hair cells and protein-protein interaction studies among the deafness associated-proteins. 1) We identified that responsible gene of two new spontaneous mutants is myosin VI. 2) 4.1B and gelsolin may be members of the myosin XV-whirlin complex that is important for stereocilia maturation. 3) Phenotypic data of double homozygotes between Sans and Whrlin mutants suggest that the function of SANS interacts with WHRLIN and the interaction play regulation of planar cell polarity in stereocilia of the hair cells.
