Tmc2a coordinates with Tmc2b to enable mechanotransduction in lateral line hair cells. a Stimulus-evoked microphonic potentials measured from posterior neuromasts with A?P-oriented hair cells from 6-dpf zebrafish larvae. The response in tmc2a ?/? /tmc2b ?/? is absent, bottom trace. b Graph of mean microphonic potentials from posterior neuromasts with hair cells with A?P orientations (n?=?6). **Mann?Whitney test P? =?0.0043. c, d Confocal images of hair cells from LII.1 and IO4 neuromasts of tmc2a +/? /tmc2b +/? or tmc2a ?/? /tmc2b ?/? animals labeled with FM1-43FX (red) and phalloidin (cyan). No dye was observed in LII.1 or IO4 of tmc2a ?/? /tmc2b ?/? animals. Scale bar?=?6??m |
