Single-molecule force spectroscopy reveals the dynamic strength of the hair-cell tip-link connection
Publikováno v:
Nature Communications, Vol 12, Iss 1, Pp 1-15 (2021)
The conversion of auditory and vestibular stimuli into electrical signals is initiated by force transmitted to a mechanotransduction channel through the tip link. Here authors show that a single tip-link bond is more mechanically stable relative to c

The conversion of auditory and vestibular stimuli into electrical signals is initiated by force transmitted to a mechanotransduction channel through the tip link, a double stranded protein filament held together by two adhesion bonds in the middle. A

Protein detection and quantification play critical roles in both basic research and clinical practice. Current detection platforms range from the widely used ELISA to more sophisticated, and more expensive, approaches such as digital ELISA. Despite a
Our senses of hearing and balance rely on the extraordinarily sensitive molecular machinery of the inner ear to convert deflections as small as the width of a single carbon atom1,2 into electrical signals that the brain can process3. In humans and ot

Recent methods in DNA nanotechnology are enabling the creation of intricate nanostructures through the use of programmable, bottom-up self-assembly. However, structures consisting only of DNA are limited in their ability to act on other biomolecules.

In adult olfactory nerves of mammals and moths, a network of glial cells ensheathes small bundles of olfactory receptor axons. In the developing antennal nerve (AN) of the moth Manduca sexta, the axons of olfactory receptor neurons (ORNs) migrate fro

Hair cells in the inner ear convert mechanical stimuli, in the vestibular and auditory systems, into electrical signals which can be processed by the brain. Hair cells are highly polarized with a unique elaboration of modified microvilli at their api

Transmembrane channel-like (TMC) proteins 1 and 2 are necessary for hair cell mechanotransduction but their precise function is controversial. A growing body of evidence supports a direct role for TMC1 and TMC2 as components of the transduction compl

Mechanical stimuli from sound and head movements are converted into electrical signals by hair cells of the inner ear. Key to this process are tip links, fine protein filaments that convey mechanical force to hair-cell transduction channels. Tip link
