Disease relevance of Slc26a5

  • Results from F3-F5 generation mice suggest that one copy of the prestin gene is capable of compensating for the deleted copy and that heterozygous mice do not suffer peripheral hearing impairment [1].
 

High impact information on Slc26a5

  • Prestin, a member of the solute carrier family 26, is expressed in the basolateral membrane of outer hair cells [2].
  • We investigated possible quaternary structures of prestin by lithium dodecyl sulfate-PAGE, perfluoro-octanoate-PAGE, a membrane-based yeast two-hybrid system, and chemical cross-linking experiments [2].
  • Chemical cross-linking experiments, perfluoro-octanoate-PAGE/Western blot, and affinity purification experiments all indicate that prestin exists as a higher order oligomer, such as a tetramer, in prestin-expressing yeast, mammalian cell lines and native outer hair cells [2].
  • In addition, both immunocytochemistry and western blot analysis in young adult mice suggest that prestin protein in heterozygotes is near normal [1].
  • Although the cochlear microphonic in knockout mice remains approximately 12 dB below that in wild-type mice even at the highest levels, this deficit is thought to reflect hair cell losses in mice lacking prestin [3].
