Electromotility can be disassociated from gating charge movement in outer hair cells of conditional alpha2 spectrin knockout mice.

Jun-Ping Bai, Micheal C. Stankewich, Jie Yang, Winston J. T. Tan, Zhongyuan Zuo, Qiang Song, Saaim Khan, Lula Wang, Jon S. Morrow, Joseph Santos‐Sacchi, Dhasakumar S. Navaratnam

This study shows that knocking out alpha2 spectrin in postnatal outer hair cells leads to a dissociation of prestin's gating charge movement from electromotility and structural changes in the SSC and plasma membrane-SSC space.

Outer Hair Cell Function is Normal in βV Spectrin Knockout Mice

Michael C. Stankewich, Jun-Ping Bai, Paul R. Stabach, Saaim Khan, Winston J. T. Tan, Alexei A. Surguchev, Lei Song, Jon S. Morrow, Joseph Santos‐Sacchi, Dhasakumar S. Navaratnam

This study shows that βV spectrin knockout mice have normal outer hair cell function but reduced auditory brainstem response amplitudes and fewer nerve fibers, indicating βV spectrin's role in neuronal structure rather than OHC function.
