Tonotopic Specialization of MYO7A Isoforms in Auditory Hair Cells

Sihan Li, Jinho Park, Tobey M. Phan, Giusy A. Caprara, Natchanon Sittipongpittaya, Gloria M. Sheynkman, Anthony W. Peng, Edward H. Egelman, Jonathan E. Bird, Jung‐Bum Shin

The paper identifies a novel MYO7A isoform, MYO7A-N, and shows its distinct expression and function in outer hair cells, contributing to hearing sensitivity and cochlear frequency resolution.

PIP2-Tmie Interactions Drive Mammalian Hair Cell Slow Adaptation Independently of Myosin Motors

Giusy A. Caprara, Sujin Jun, Ye-Ri Kim, Gabriel J. Olguín-Orellana, Yein Christina Park, Claudia Martínez-García, Sihan Li, Ángela Ballesteros, David Ramírez, Un‐Kyung Kim, Jung‐Bum Shin, Anthony W. Peng

This study shows that PIP2-Tmie interactions, not myosin motors, drive slow adaptation in mammalian hair cells, as demonstrated by rescue experiments and disruption studies.
