D10 Stereocilia Membrane Enrichment

ABSTRACT: Through its activity in stereocilia, MYO7A (myosin VIIA) is essential for hair cell function in the inner ear. Utilizing multiple stages of immunoaffinity enrichment, we have developed a strategy that allows us to partially purify stereocilia membranes from thousands of chick inner ears and isolate low-abundance MYO7A protein complexes from those membranes. The D10 stereocilia membrane enrichment protocol involves density centrifugation steps and immuno-enrichment of stereocilia using the D10 antibody, directed against the major stereocilia transmembrane protein PTPRQ. The data in this submission document the effectiveness of the enrichment procedure.
