Project Summary In this proposal we hope to build on our efforts defining the cryoEM structure of prestin, the OHC lateral wall motor responsible for cochlear amplification, in the depolarized and contracted state. In this proposal we seek to define the protein's structure in the expanded state brought about by voltage. We will use complementary methods to determine its structure exploiting recent advances in image processing and using temperature and mutations that affect its violtage sensitivity. In addition, we will also be using modeling using molecular dynamics simulations to understand its structure under voltage control.

项目摘要 在这个建议中，我们希望建立在我们努力定义普雷斯廷，OHC侧壁的cryoEM结构的基础上 在去极化和收缩状态下，负责耳蜗放大的运动。在本建议中，我们力求 定义了蛋白质在电压作用下的膨胀状态下的结构。我们将使用互补 利用图像处理的最新进展并使用温度和 影响其对紫外线敏感性的突变。此外，我们还将使用分子动力学建模 模拟以了解其在电压控制下的结构。
