Fig. 7

The second transmembrane and adjacent regions of Tmie are required for inner ear microphonics.

(A) A DIC image of a 3 dpf larva, anesthetized and pinned (glass fiber) for inner ear recordings. Shown are a probe attached to a piezo actuator (piezo) pressed against the head and a recording pipette pierced into the inner ear. Scale bar is 100μm. (B) Example traces from a wild type larva. A step stimulus was applied with a 20 ms duration; 200 traces were averaged for each of the six piezo driver voltages: 2V, 3V, 4V, 5V, 6V, and 10V. Gray box: magnification of the onset of response in individual traces. (C-I) Plots of the mean amplitude of the response peak ± SD as a function of the stimulus intensity of the driver voltage. We used the stimulation protocol explained in B to obtain responses from larvae expressing one of our transgenic tmie constructs, as labeled. Statistical significance was determined by two-way ANOVA comparing all groups to wild type non-transgenic siblings, n ≥ 5, *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001, ****p < 0.0001.
