Cell Biology: Function Guides Form of Auditory Sensory Cells
- 01Auditory sensory cells have a specific staircase-like structure
- 02The tallest row of stereocilia is established first
- 03Shorter rows then develop distinct molecular identities
- 04The cell's sensory function helps maintain this form
The function of auditory sensory cells in hearing helps shape and maintain their own precise physical structure.
Mechanosensory bundles on auditory sensory cells are composed of stereocilia that grow in rows of decreasing height. This pattern depends on the specification of the eventual tallest row, then the assignment of distinct molecular identities to the shorter rows. Mechanotransduction refines and maintains row identity, thus instructing the form of the bundle.
