A little guide for advanced search:

  • Tip 1. You can use quotes "" to search for an exact expression.
    Example: "cell division"
  • Tip 2. You can use + symbol to restrict results containing all words.
    Example: +cell +stem
  • Tip 3. You can use + and - symbols to force inclusion or exclusion of specific words.
    Example: +cell -stem
e.g. searching for members in projects tagged cancer

La cochlée, organe auditif des mammifères, tire sa sensibilité et sa sélectivité en fréquence de la présence des cellules ciliées externes (CCE). Ces cellules, qui n’existent que chez les mammifères, sont dotées d’électromotilité, c’est-à-dire que leur membrane plasmique latérale se contracte ou s’allonge en réponse à des modifications du champ électrique. C’est la prestine, une protéine intégrale de la membrane, qui confère aux CCE cette propriété. Le long de la paroi latérale, un treillis cortical hautement organisé, constitué d’actine et de spectrine, contribue également à ce processus. Nous venons de montrer que la sous-unité βV (et non l’isoforme βII) constitue, avec la sous-unité aII, la spectrine de la paroi des CCE, et qu’elle interagirait indirectement avec la prestine. La nature moléculaire du lien qui unit ces deux protéines reste à déterminer.
