Structural relationship between the putative hair cell mechanotransduction channel TMC1 and TMEM16 proteins
The hair cell mechanotransduction (MET) channel complex is essential for hearing, yet it’s molecular identity and structure remain elusive. The transmembrane channel–like 1 (TMC1) protein localizes to the site of the MET channel, interacts with the tip-link responsible for mechanical gating, and gen...
