Cell. 108:2002;371-381 The authors present unequivocal evidence of a role for myosin-1c in slow adaptation in mouse vestibular hair cells. The work uses a strikingly novel pharmacological technique of mutating the receptor (ATPase) site on myosin-1c to render it susceptible to blockade by engineered adenosine diphosphate analogs.

J Neurosci. 22:2002;44-52 This study provides evidence for at least two components of adaptation and their manifestation in active bundle motion in the same hair cell, in which they have characteristic kinetics and polarities. It also contains the surprising observation that by biasing the static position of the hair bundle one of the movements can be reversed in polarity through an as yet unknown mechanism.

From flies' eyes to our ear: mutations in a human class III myosin causes nonsyndromic hearing loss DFNB30. Proc Natl Acad Sci USA. 99:2002;7518-7523 The authors provide the first demonstration of the involvement of myosin III in hearing and its targeting to cochlear hair cells. This class of myosin was previously known to interact with actin filaments and a PDZ scaffolding protein in Drosophila photoreceptors. Here, three mutations of myosin IIIa were shown to underlie a nonsyndromic progressive deafness.

Reduced climbing and increased slipping adaptation in cochlear hair cells of mice with Myo7a mutations. Nat Neurosci. 5:2002;41-47 The authors use post-genomic experimentation that employs physiological measurements in mouse mutants to elucidate a role for myosin 7a in mechanotransduction in auditory hair cells. For the MET channels to open, the hair bundles in the mutants must be deflected several microns beyond their normal operating range, which suggests that myosin 7a normally positions the bundle for optimal transducer sensitivity.

Myosin VIIa, harmonin and cadherin 23, three Usher I gene products that cooperate to shape the sensory hair bundle. EMBO J. 21:2002;6689-6699 This study uses both yeast two-hybrid and pull-down binding assays to demonstrate interactions among three proteins (myosin 7a, cadherin-23 and a PDZ protein harmonin) that are known to be mutated in Usher type I deaf-blindness syndrome. Equivalent mutations in mice cause defective hair bundle development and result in deafness. The authors conclude that myosin 7a ferries harmonin along the actin core of developing stereocilia, and that the three-protein complex is essential for stereociliary cohesion.

J Neurosci. 23:2003;4533-4548 The authors present the most detailed account so far of the properties and mechanisms of spontaneous hair bundle oscillations. They demonstrate that they are driven by the slow adaptation motor biasing the displacement-force relation of the hair bundle into a region of negative slope.

Proc Natl Acad Sci USA. 100:2003;958-963 The authors describe a single-cell correlate of the electrically evoked otoacoustic emissions that are recorded in most vertebrate classes and used as evidence for ubiquitous active mechanical output from the hair cells. Spontaneous oscillations of saccular hair bundles were modulated at frequencies of up to 1 kHz by extracellular electrical stimulation. The specificity of the response was tied to hair cell transduction by showing that it disappeared on blocking the MET channels.

Proc Natl Acad Sci USA. 98:2001;2826-2831 Good evidence for active hair bundle motion in vivo comes from the properties of the otoacoustic emissions produced by electrical stimulation of the lizard inner ear. The authors show that because the hair bundles in the lizard hearing organ have two polarities of orientation, the ototacoustic emissions display a characteristic pattern of modulation by sound.
46. Ricci A. Differences in mechano-transducer channel kinetics underlie tonotopic distribution of fast adaptation in auditory hair cells. J Neurophysiol. 87:2002;1738-1748 The authors demonstrate that MET currents in turtle auditory hair cells tuned to high and low frequencies show different sensitivities to channel blockers such as dihydrostreptomycin, and have different open times as assessed by the spectra of the current noise.

Intracellular anions as the voltage sensor or prestin, the outer hair cell motor protein. Science. 292:2001;2340-2343 The authors found that mutagenesis of many of the amino acids from charged to neutral in the putative membrane domain of the prestin molecule had little or no effect on the voltage sensitivity of the membrane protein. This led them to conclude that the voltage sensor for the outer hair cell motor was a charged particle extrinsic to the protein, and they identified it as arising from the binding of intracellular chloride and bicarbonate ions.

Nature. 419:2002;300-304 The authors found that targeted deletion of prestin in mice abolishes the somatic motility of outer hair cells in vitro and causes a 40-60 dB loss of auditory sensitivity and otoacoustic emissions in vivo without affecting the MET channels. This is strong evidence for prestin being part of the electromechanical feedback loop that underlies cochlear amplifier.
