The Grillet Lab Publishes Two New Manuscripts

LOXHD1 is indispensable for maintaining TMC1 auditory mechanosensitive channels at the site of force transmission

The Grillet lab identified an additional component of the auditory mechanotransduction Machinery, the protein LOXHD1, which is indispensable to keep the ion channel subunit TMC1 next to the tip-link, where the force induced-by sound is transmitted.

SUB-immunogold-SEM reveals nanoscale distribution of submembranous epitopes

Nanoscale protein localization by immunogold-scanning electron microscopy has been restricted to extracellular epitopes. Here, the authors extend this method to sub-membranous epitopes, revealing how transmembrane and cytoplasmic proteins distribute along the surfaces of exposed cells.
