Otoferlin Couples to Clathrin-Mediated Endocytosis in Mature Cochlear Inner Hair Cells

Abstract: The encoding of auditory information with indefatigable precision requires efficient resupply of vesicles at inner hair cell (IHC) ribbon synapses. Otoferlin, a transmembrane protein responsible for deafness in DFNB9 families, has been postulated to act as a calcium sensor for exocytosis as well as to be involved in rapid vesicle replenishment of IHCs. However, the molecular basis of vesicle recycling in IHCs is largely unknown. In the present study, we used high-resolution liquid chromatography coupled with m… Show more

“…Otoferlin is a six-C2 domain transmembrane protein expressed in inner, outer, and vestibular hair cells, as well as restricted regions of the brain (13-16). In humans, missense mutations in otoferlin have been linked to hearing loss (17,18), and biochemical studies have determined that otoferlin binds calcium and lipids (12,19), as well as membrane trafficking proteins (12,(20)(21)(22)(23). Further, in vitro assays have demonstrated that otoferlin accelerates SNARE-mediated membrane fusion (12).…”

“…Otoferlin has recently been found to interact with AP-2 and myosin VI, two proteins involved in clathrin-mediated endocytosis (Duncker et al, 2013), which is essential to synaptic vesicle replenishment. On these grounds a further role for otoferlin has been suggested: it could be involved in coupling exocytosis and endocytosis in IHCs, thus providing the basis for sustained release at the ribbon synapse.…”

“…4). Otoferlin could prime synaptic vesicles for fusion 19 , potentially via promoting the for mation of short tethers between synaptic vesicles and the membrane of the active zone, as suggested by elec tron tomography 29 , and/or it could facilitate the clear ance of previously exocytosed material from the release site via interaction with endocytic proteins 18,63 . Missense mutations might affect these processes by lower ing the otoferlin levels or by impairing its interactions with other proteins.…”
