Brief description Though the analysis of a unique mouse strain (Mot1) we have identified a previously unknown cause of male infertility and lung disease. We hypothesis that the Mot1 line is a model of human primary cilia dyskinesia and that the Mot1 protein is involved in cilia function. Within this project we will define the consequences of a loss of Mot1 protein function, we will define its binding partners and we will screen for mutations in the corresponding human gene.
