Ca2+-binding protein 2 inhibits Ca2+-channel inactivation in mouse inner hair cells.
Ca2+-binding protein 2 (CaBP2) inhibits the inactivation of heterologously expressed voltage-gated Ca2+ channels of type 1.3 (CaV1.3) and is defective in human autosomal-recessive deafness 93 (DFNB93). Here, we report a newly identified mutation in CABP2 that causes a moderate hearing impairment likely via nonsense-mediated decay of CABP2-mRNA. To study the mechanism of hearing impairment resul...
متن کاملElementary properties of CaV1.3 Ca2+ channels expressed in mouse cochlear inner hair cells
Mammalian cochlear inner hair cells (IHCs) are specialized to process developmental signals during immature stages and sound stimuli in adult animals. These signals are conveyed onto auditory afferent nerve fibres. Neurotransmitter release at IHC ribbon synapses is controlled by L-type Ca(V)1.3 Ca(2+) channels, the biophysics of which are still unknown in native mammalian cells. We have investi...
متن کاملCharacterization of transcriptomes of cochlear inner and outer hair cells.
Inner hair cells (IHCs) and outer hair cells (OHCs) are the two types of sensory receptor cells that are critical for hearing in the mammalian cochlea. IHCs and OHCs have different morphology and function. The genetic mechanisms that define their morphological and functional specializations are essentially unknown. The transcriptome reflects the genes that are being actively expressed in a cell...
متن کاملDevelopmental regulation of nicotinic synapses on cochlear inner hair cells.
In the mature cochlea, inner hair cells (IHCs) transduce acoustic signals into receptor potentials, communicating to the brain by synaptic contacts with afferent fibers. Before the onset of hearing, a transient efferent innervation is found on IHCs, mediated by a nicotinic cholinergic receptor that may contain both alpha9 and alpha10 subunits. Calcium influx through that receptor activates calc...
متن کاملFast cochlear amplification with slow outer hair cells.
In mammalian cochleas, outer hair cells (OHCs) produce mechanical amplification over the entire audio-frequency range (up to 100 kHz). Under the 'somatic electro-motility' theory, mechano-electrical transduction modulates the OHC transmembrane potential, driving an OHC mechanical response which generates cycle-by-cycle mechanical amplification. Yet, though the OHC motor responds up to at least ...
