This preprint investigated how an ATP fluorescent analog (EDA-ATP-Cy3, Cy3-ATP) labels ATP-binding proteins at hair-cell stereocilia tips in two preparation types using lightly permeabilized cochleas and, separately, vestibular stereocilia adsorbed to glass for quantification. In the lightly permeabilized cochleas, Cy3-ATP produced strong tip labeling in rows 1–2, and vanadate enhanced this signal while actin polymerization inhibitors (latrunculin A and cytochalasin D) had no effect, suggesting involvement of myosin-related ATPase activity rather than actin turnover. In mutant cochleas, Cy3-ATP labeling was substantially reduced in Myo15a-deficient tissue but remained robust in Myo7a-deficient tissue, and the quantified vestibular preparation showed ~50% lower tip signal in Myo15a sh2/sh2 stereocilia versus controls of similar length. A major caveat is that the work is a Research Square preprint that is not peer reviewed. The paper does not explicitly discuss endometriosis or adenomyosis; it was included in the corpus via a keyword match in the upstream search index.

Abstract

ATP-utilizing enzymes play key roles in hair bundles, the mechanically sensitive organelles of sensory hair cells in the inner ear. We used a fluorescent ATP analog, EDA-ATP-Cy3 (Cy3-ATP), to label ATP-binding proteins in two different preparations of unfixed hair-cell stereocilia. In the first preparation, we lightly permeabilized dissected cochleas, then labeled them with Cy3-ATP. Hair cells and their stereocilia remained intact, and stereocilia tips in rows 1 and 2 were labeled particularly strongly with Cy3-ATP. Co-application with vanadate (VO43-) enhanced the tip labeling, which is consistent with myosin isoforms being responsible; by contrast, the actin polymerization inhibitors latrunculin A and cytochalasin D had no effect, suggesting that actin turnover at stereocilia tips was not involved. Cy3-ATP labeling was substantially reduced—but did not disappear altogether—in mutant cochleas lacking MYO15A; by contrast, labeling remained robust in cochleas lacking MYO7A. In the second preparation, used to quantify Cy3-ATP labeling, we labeled vestibular stereocilia that had been adsorbed to glass, which demonstrated that tip labeling was higher in longer stereocilia. We found that tip signal was reduced by ~50% in Myo15ash2/sh2 stereocilia as compared to Myo15ash2/+ stereocilia of the same length range. These results suggest that MYO15A accounts for a substantial fraction of the Cy3-ATP tip labeling in vestibular hair cells, and so this novel preparation could be utilized to examine the control of MYO15A ATPase activity in situ.

(a) We expect that the hydrolysis of Cy3-ATP\nproceeds according to this scheme, which is thought to hold for most myosin isoforms. In this scheme, \nactin is represented by A and myosin by M. Nucleoside triphosphates such as Cy3-ATP bind to [[1]] and \ndissociate [2] the actomyosin complex. After hydrolysis of the nucleotide [4], actin and myosin reassociate \n[5]. A fraction of the nucleotide is hydrolyzed without dissociating the actomyosin complex [3].

We used a fluorescent ATP analog, EDA-ATP-Cy3 (Cy3-ATP), to label ATP-binding proteins in two different preparations of unfixed hair-cell stereocilia. In the first preparation, we lightly permeabilized dissected cochleas, then labeled them with Cy3-ATP. Hair cells and their stereocilia remained intact, and stereocilia tips in rows 1 and 2 were labeled particularly strongly with Cy3-ATP. Co-application with vanadate (VO43-) enhanced the tip labeling, which is consistent with myosin isoforms being responsible; by contrast, the actin polymerization inhibitors latrunculin A and cytochalasin D had no effect, suggesting that actin turnover at stereocilia tips was not involved. Cy3-ATP labeling was substantially reduced—but did not disappear altogether—in mutant cochleas lacking MYO15A; by contrast, labeling remained robust in cochleas lacking MYO7A. In the second preparation, used to quantify Cy3-ATP labeling, we labeled vestibular stereocilia that had been adsorbed to glass, which demonstrated that tip labeling was higher in longer stereocilia. We found that tip signal was reduced by ~50% in Myo15ash2/sh2 stereocilia as compared to Myo15ash2/+ stereocilia of the same length range. These results suggest that MYO15A accounts for a substantial fraction of the Cy3-ATP tip labeling in vestibular hair cells, and so this novel preparation could be utilized to examine the control of MYO15A ATPase activity in situ.","manuscriptTitle":"Cy3-ATP Labeling of Unfixed, Permeabilized Hair Cells","msid":"","msnumber":"","nonDraftVersions":[{"code":1,"date":"2021-09-27 15:32:34","doi":"10.21203/rs.3.rs-913374/v1","editorialEvents":[{"type":"communityComments","content":0},{"type":"decision","content":"Major revision","date":"2021-11-08T04:03:27+00:00","index":"","fulltext":""},{"type":"editorInvitedReview","content":"","date":"2021-10-21T17:01:45+00:00","index":"hide","fulltext":""},{"type":"reviewerAgreed","content":"015d2b99-7409-44e0-b70e-17f91eb8384b","date":"2021-10-06T04:47:44+00:00","index":"hide","fulltext":""},{"type":"reviewerAgreed","content":"c5052af9-72cb-48f7-969a-ebf85a537409","date":"2021-10-04T00:05:53+00:00","index":"hide","fulltext":""},{"type":"reviewersInvited","content":"","date":"2021-09-30T10:36:20+00:00","index":"","fulltext":""},{"type":"editorAssigned","content":"","date":"2021-09-24T09:48:01+00:00","index":"","fulltext":""},{"type":"editorInvited","content":"","date":"2021-09-24T08:22:20+00:00","index":"","fulltext":""},{"type":"checksComplete","content":"","date":"2021-09-24T08:18:24+00:00","index":"","fulltext":""},{"type":"submitted","content":"Scientific Reports","date":"2021-09-16T19:57:32+00:00","index":"","fulltext":""}],"status":"published","journal":{"display":true,"email":"[email protected]","identity":"scientific-reports","isNatureJournal":false,"hasQc":true,"allowDirectSubmit":false,"externalIdentity":"scirep","sideBox":"Learn more about [Scientific Reports](http://www.nature.com/srep/)","snPcode":"","submissionUrl":"","title":"Scientific Reports","twitterHandle":"","acdcEnabled":true,"dfaEnabled":true,"editorialSystem":"stoa","reportingPortfolio":"Scientific Reports","inReviewEnabled":true,"inReviewRevisionsEnabled":true}}],"origin":"","ownerIdentity":"553da926-59cb-434c-87de-7282707677d7","owner":[],"postedDate":"September 27th, 2021","published":true,"recentEditorialEvents":[],"rejectedJournal":[],"revision":"","amendment":"","status":"under-review","subjectAreas":[{"id":7463370,"name":"Scientific Communication"},{"id":7463371,"name":"Health Economics \u0026 Outcomes Research"}],"tags":[],"updatedAt":"2021-12-01T11:44:16+00:00","versionOfRecord":[],"versionCreatedAt":"2021-09-27 15:32:34","video":"","vorDoi":"","vorDoiUrl":"","workflowStages":[]},"version":"v1","identity":"rs-913374","journalConfig":"researchsquare"},"__N_SSP":true},"page":"/article/[identity]/[[...version]]","query":{"redirect":"/article/rs-913374","identity":"rs-913374","version":["v1"]},"buildId":"_2-kVJe1T_tPrBINL-cwx","isFallback":false,"isExperimentalCompile":false,"dynamicIds":[84888],"gssp":true,"scriptLoader":[]}

My notes (saved in your browser only)

Ask this paper AI returns verbatim quotes from the full text · source: preprint-html

Answers must be backed by verbatim quotes from this paper's full text. Hallucinated quotes are dropped automatically; if no verbatim passage answers the question, we say so. How this works
