MyosinVIIa interacts with Twinfilin-2 at the tips of mechanosensory stereocilia in the inner ear.
In vertebrates hearing is dependent upon the microvilli-like mechanosensory stereocilia and their length gradation. The staircase-like organization of the stereocilia bundle is dynamically maintained by variable actin turnover rates. Two unconventional myosins were previously implicated in stereocil...
