Molecular Mechanisms of Frequency Discrimination in the Drosophila Ear
(2023-01-24)Since the first confirmed evidence of potassium ions crossing the membrane to the first cloned and identified potassium channel from Drosophila melanogaster, the studies of potassium channels have extensively broadened our ... -
Regulation of mechanical feedback amplification in the Drosophila ear
(2022-06-09)Ears achieve their exquisite sensitivity using positive mechanical feedback (Ashmore et al., 2010). Like pushing a swing augments its swing, sound-induced vibrations are enhanced by motile responses of auditory receptor ... -
Chromophore-independent roles of Drosophila opsin apoproteins and visual cycle components
(2019-02-13)Visual rhodopsins consist of opsin protein moieties that are covalently bound to 11-cis-retinal, the visual chromophore that is derived from vitamin A. In Drosophila, the visual opsin genes Rh5 and Rh6 were reported to be ... -
The Virtual Ear: Deducing Transducer Function in the Drosophila Ear
(2012-03-15)Mechano-electrical transduction constitutes the central part of the hearing process. Recent studies of vertebrate and invertebrates hearing systems have shed light on the functional workings ... -
Candidate mechanosensitive transduction channels in Drosophila melanogaster
(2011-06-15)Gravity sensing and hearing in Drosophila melanogaster rely on Johnston's Organ (JO), a chordotonal stretch-receptor organ consisting of ca. 500 mechanosensory neurons residing in the 2nd ... -
Identification and Characterization of Deafness Genes in Drosophila melanogaster
(2011-02-08)The antennal auditory organ of Drosophila, Johnston s organ (JO), provides a valuable system to study hearing. JO neurons and hair cells of mammals are developmentally specified via homologous ...
