NompC TRP channel is essential for Drosophila sound receptor function.

Current biology : CB - 12 Apr 2011

Effertz Thomas, Wiek Robert, Göpfert Martin C

Abstract excerpt

The idea that the NompC TRPN1 channel is the Drosophila transducer for hearing has been challenged by remnant sound-evoked nerve potentials in nompC nulls. We now report that NompC is essential for the function of Drosophila sound receptors and that the remnant nerve potentials of nompC mutants are contributed by gravity/wind receptor cells. Ablating the sound receptors reduces the amplitude and sensitivity of...
