Abstract

The shaker-2 mouse mutation, the homolog of human DFNB3 , causes deafness and circling behavior. A bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) transgene from the shaker-2 critical region corrected the vestibular defects, deafness, and inner ear morphology of shaker-2 mice. An unconventional myosin gene, Myo15 , was discovered by DNA sequencing of this BAC. Shaker-2 mice were found to have an amino acid substitution at a highly conserved position within the motor domain of this myosin. Auditory hair cells of shaker-2 mice have very short stereocilia and a long actin-containing protrusion extending from their basal end. This histopathology suggests that Myo15 is necessary for actin organization in the hair cells of the cochlea.
