| Research Abstract |
We analyzed about the linkage between Inv function and cellular localization by using zebrafish. Inv has two calmodulin binding motifs (IQ domains), and we assessed about function of IQ domains. As a result, we found IQ domain deleted Inv could not localize to the cilium, and could not rescue the inv mutated phenotypes, including kidney cyst and left-right defect. In conclusion, cellular-ciliary localization of Inv was regulated by calmodulin binding, and it indicates that calmodulin dependent Inv localization requires in vivo functions.
